b'Art ResourcesArt, like language or music, has been a means of expression for every culture on Earth throughout history. Young children have a natural tendency to use art to express themselves; seeing and appreciating the art of others enhances childrens experiences. If opportunities for art are always available, not a special event, children will feel satisfied with their efforts. When they can choose materials and activities freely, children will create spontaneously. As Montessori said, the adults role is to encourage without judgment, nurturing the development ofa sensitive soul, an eye that sees, and a hand that obeys.Using Scissors Activity B Basic, sequential cutting exercises for the child who is developing scissors skills. The teacher A prepares cutting strips after photocopying four C custom templates. The child snips over the bowl and collects the pieces for art projects.
