Strengthening personality by promoting creativity

Creativity is an important aspect of child personality development, which is increasingly neglected in school curricula but can be incorporated into everyday life through simple exercises. Many years of experience have shown that targeted promotion of creative processes has a positive influence on adolescent development. In art education in particular, painting can help children to better process their impressions of the world around them, allowing them to express themselves and cope with everyday life. Painting is accessible to all children and young people from all social backgrounds thanks to the use of inexpensive materials, and the application of simple techniques leads to quick successes, which can successfully boost each individual's self-esteem. This book presents factors that promote and inhibit the painting process and how they affect creativity. Teachers, parents, educators and childcare workers are given clear explanations of painting techniques and their application, and their positive effects on personal development are presented.
