Development of Children in a Montessori schools

Development of Children in a Montessori
schools
Montessori schools make use of art in different ways. At the
basic level, with the help of art children learn to use pencil
and draw lines, it also includes other more practical exercises
like cutting, weaving, sewing and stencils, which go a long way
in the development of children.

Children learn to express themselves
Children get to express themselves through art, it helps them
portrait their emotions and feelings in a better way.
Montessori Method provides open ended activities which
helps children to explore and use their imagination to the
fullest.

Art provides solid foundation
Art, with other educational methods provides children with
solid foundation for growth. Children are exploring,
expressing, developing and creating themselves through art at
all times. Montessori Method provides an environment that
encourages the children to express themselves through
different mediums such as pencils, clay, pastels, paints, and
crayons.

It is all about the process not the end-result
With art it is the process that matters not the result, child’s
way of interacting with the outside world is completely
different to that of an adult, children like to develop through
observing, their focus is to have fun while learning and
growing at the same time. If a child ends up creating
something, protecting it does not really matter them it is the
whole process that gives them inner joy and satisfaction.

In a world of their own
Children are not worried about creating something special for someone it’s
all about learning, having fun and moving on to the next level, that is the
reason children’s creations are always unique and sometimes very strange
in their own way, as they live in a world of their own.
Montessori Method encourages the children to emphasize on the process of
creating rather than the end result, which means children are encouraged to
explore, try different things and experiment with different art mediums
without being pressurized to finish the project in a certain way.

Everything is accessible at all times
As opposed to traditions teaching methods, children can
access all art items at all times, they are free to choose the
skills they want to practice. In traditional schools, art material
is only available to children at specific times and the adults
are directing the children on how to use the material rather
than the children themselves taking control.
