This week we spot lighted different shaped and colored buttons for collage art.  The goal of collage art is for children to learn about creativity and themselves.  It provides an opportunity for young children to experiment with shape and texture and color.  It allows young children to practice with art tools and materials to independently create a child-directed “masterpiece”.  When it comes to collage making, as with most preschool art, don’t expect your child to end up with a finished project that looks attractive to adult eyes.  Certainly some children manage to create a stunning masterpiece, but most don’t.
