About Susan Stein
Of my many passions in life, my biggest is art. I believe creating art is about the experience and the process, not talent.
Every child is different, and their art should be too. I infuse as much choice as possible as I guide children in their artmaking. Children learn to make good choices through the experience of making choices, and creating art is a low stakes way to practice this important skill and many others.
What are the advantages of Choice Based Artmaking?
> boost your child's self-confidence as they make their own decisions
> increase your child's problem solving skills as they explore through trial and error
> allow your child to express their thoughts, feelings, and interests in a safe way
> develop your child's focus and perseverance
> expand your child's independent thinking skills as they try new approaches
