Introducing materials into children’s fine art education may bring significant benefits to their creativity, says the study. Delicate materials, such as crepe paper or fine brushes, tend to be the materials of choice when artists wish to produce a painting with fine details. In fact, introducing new materials into children’s fine art education may produce clear beneficial results. The researchers make clear recommendations to educators involved in fine art education for children. The process of mixing different painting materials expands children’s creativity, and can also improve their motivation, resulting in increased ability to maintain attention on learning, a skill crucial both inside and outside the primary school classroom.
