from the AllaprimA Foundation - with practical and theoretical programs for
(art) teachers in the field of art education.
The general aim of expressive development is to teach children to observe and
experience in a more conscious way.
Children learn to convert observation and experience into two- and
three-dimensional images.
They become aware of what they see, hear, feel and experience.
They learn to be open to coincidences, to changes and more than one solution to
a problem.
This fundamental attitude can developed within the field of expressive
development.
Art is one of the basic human qualities.
In the first years of a child's life, the view on reality is in an artistic way.
Art is the open mind to the phenomena of the (unknown) reality.
Children are able to see things in a new way, because they do not have any
notice of the rules adults are using.
