The creative arts process is wonderfully inviting to young children because the process does not require that they “know” how to create representational art forms or that they understand the specialized techniques involved in ballet. They need a positive reaction from the adults around them, and they need to be recognized for their own individual value. Young children are just beginning to learn about the world, and because they are still amateurs, they make mistakes, they get confused, and they do not always get things just right. One of the most significant needs of all human beings is a feeling of positive self-worth. Boyer have increased power and significance when their message is shared with and accepted by others as a means of communication. These experiences language we call the arts.

In each case, Lien is using the visual and performing arts to explore ways of expressing her feelings and sensory experiences in tangible, symbolic form. She explains to her teacher that she is a dolphin swimming alongside a sailboat, splashing water on the people aboard. When her teacher tells the class that they are listening to a recording of George Frideric Handel’s “Water Music,” this same five-year-old moves about the room leaping and diving.
