Exploring Process Art

4/16/2020

Through process art Children can focus on the enjoyment of the process vs. the product.
There is no "Wrong way" to do it. Children are free to explore and make individual decisions that result in a unique masterpiece.
It's easy to facilitate
One of the nice things about incorporating process art throughout your week is how easy it is to set up. In most cases you just need to provide the materials (or let them choose their own).
Crafts vs. Process Art
One of the main differences between Crafts and Process Art, is that Crafts have a specific outcome. Process Art is completely open ended.

Process Art can be made with different tools
In  process Art you can use a variety items from around the house, as well as items from nature to create with. Some of my favorite process art tools are: Flyswatters, Forks, Spray Bottles, sponges, forks, and Marbles.

Magnet painting combines process art, an element of science, and music! As with any STEAM or process art activity, the focus is on a child's creativity and observation skills as opposed to the final product.

Process Art can be a sensory experience
You can create a sensory rich Art experience for children by providing opportunities for them to create Art with their fingers, and toes. Paint on unique textures such as Sandpaper, Foil or Natural Items such as rocks or branches.

Process Art can go up! 
Don't forget to incorporate 3-Dimentional Art into your program. Sculptures can be made using a variety of materials such as Wood, Rocks, Foam, Boxes, Straws and many other loose parts.

Art can be made from collections of materials
Kids love glue! Incorporate Mosaics, Collage, and Mixed Media.

group made these collages on boxes! How clever!
Process Art can be temporary
Not all Art needs to be hung on a wall to be appreciated. You can incorporate a variety of Transient Art projects. For children who might need something concrete, you can take a photo and share it on a Bulletin Board, or give them the photo to take home to share.

Drop painting is a fun way for children to explore and create a unique piece of art. This project supports children as they learn they can combine ideas and materials to create any design they can imagine. ​
