Process Art vs. Product Art - What does it mean? Process art allows children to choose, direct, and explore so many elements of art creation. Because the emph...asis is on the child, there is no 'right' finished product - simply the joy of creating! Process art can build creativity and confidence but it can also get very messy In a classroom, process art creations are as unique as the children in the room! Product art, on the other hand, is adult directed. There is a ‘right’ finished masterpiece and the goal is for every creation to look a certain way. Product art more craft than art - handprints and footprints turned into other things, or teacher cut paper or materials assembled to look like the teacher’s example. I don't think this form of art encourages creativity, however, it can build exposure to scissors, glue, paint, and markers/crayons. It is also great for building fine motor skills and working on direction following! Children greatly benefit from exploring and experimenting with art materials. There is such joy to be found in a blank sheet of paper and paint and so much learning to be done when given free reign of materials. I think we are wise to err on the side of giving our children ample time with process art! Arts & Crafts: https://bit.ly/2TvTAeD via Learning With Hazel on Instagram: https://bit.ly/384nWgd
