DEVELOPMENT OF ART AND CREATIVITY IN CHILDREN

Every invention and creation, no matter in what field, is the outcome of a search for solutions and distinct ideas. Creativity is a sine qua non for development and improvement. This view has been a central focus in every field and a considerable volume of research has sought to find out how creativity starts, occurs and develops. Creativity is also a principal element of change and progression. Art can be defined as the manifestation of creativity and imagination. As the lively debate about what is art and what is not art continues, new meanings are assigned to art. Art is, in general, a reality that should exist in everyone's life, whether an adult or a child. Since creativity emerges as the beginning of art in children, children’s art (paintings, drawings and other works produced by children) is of key importance. A child’s development can be followed in his or her art. Article visualizations
