ART AS EXPRESION OF FEELINGS FOR CHILDREN
ART AS EXPRESION OF FEELINGS FOR CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: Art, as a sensory expression, is sometimes characterized as a therapeutic medium through which children articulate their emotions. A prevalent notion in certain educational institutions is that the sole justification for creating art is for pupils to express feelings, rather than as an integral academic process. Art is perceived as a cathartic process through which emotions disclose their source. Traditionally, mathematics and literature are conducted in the morning and hold significant importance in the school curriculum. It is unsurprising that art is perceived as an emotional outlet, particularly when children exhibit diminished cognitive concentration. The arts, characterized by an ambiance of joy and emotional expression, are a compelling candidate for therapeutic intervention. We must acknowledge that this is merely a supplementary role; nonetheless, if it serves solely for emotional release, its significance aligns more closely with psychiatry than with expressive art.
