Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Imagination is the door to possibilities. It is where creativity, ingenuity, and thinking outside the box begin for child development. Imaginative and creative play is how children learn about the world. During imaginative play, children manipulate materials, express themselves verbally and non-verbally, plan (intentionally or unintentionally), act, interact, react, and try different roles. Art is creative expression that nurtures imagination, not a lesson in following directions. Through painting, sculpture, collage, clay, drawing or any other medium, art is a way for children to work through emotions, make decisions, and express their ideas. Manipulating art materials provides a sense of freedom yet also encourages focus and concentration. Art activities also develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Furthermore, art activities build confidence because children gain a sense of mastery over materials resulting in a new creation. #art #artist #youngartist #slum #doorstepschool #buildingdreamsfoundation #buildingdreams #charitable #helpinghands (at Dehradun, देहरादून, Uttarakhand, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxewXTFF-S8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19j49cl5no8a3
