The Benefits of Process Art Projects

Process art offers rich developmental benefits for preschoolers. Here are just a few examples:

  • When children use a variety of art materials, they build fine motor skills. Holding a paintbrush, squeezing a bottle of glue, arranging materials, and working with scissors all strengthen muscles in the hands and fingers.
  • Process art encourages children to get creative, express themselves, and make something that is entirely their own, an experience that builds children’s confidence and self-esteem.
  • When children plan out their process art project and decide how to use the materials offered, they are also practicing important cognitive skills, like decision-making and problem-solving.
  • Through open-ended art projects, children build language and communication skills as they discuss their ideas and talk with their peers about what they are creating.

Process art projects give little ones a chance to practice and develop a variety of  skills, while expressing their creativity and having fun!
