ART AS EXPRESION OF FEELINGS FOR CHILDREN

Abstract

Art, as a sensory expression os 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.
