Art is medium of expression of young children's imaginations.

As early childhood educator we need to ensure we provide children with more opportunities, experiences and reassures for an particular art activity.

Young children are capable of many things and art is major part which enhances their creativity.

Engagements with materials are certainly not new in the early childhood literature.
Since the 19th century, early childhood scholars have emphasized materials’
importance for the development and education of young children. Frederick
Froebel’s gifts, the first educational toys developed in the 1800s, have marked
materials’ central role in early education (Prochner, 2011), but John Dewey
(1897) reminded us more than a century ago that “the child’s own instincts and
powers furnish the material and give the starting point for all education” (art. 1,
para. 3).
Today, scholars continue to highlight the importance of materials in young
children’s learning. Processes such as painting with a brush and working with
clay are seen as activities that contribute to children’s social, physical, emotional,
and creative development (Golomb, 1992; Lowenfeld & Brittain, 1987; Matthews,
Thinking With Materials 3
2003).

As stated by Bennett in 2004, we start to think with materials as movements, as encounters, as ecologies and as time; Materials are  live in the world in many ways.

spaces: paper, charcoal,
paint, clay, and blocks are material which can be found in early childhood. Children treat these materials as active and participatory. They
set things in motion, incite questions, produce ideas. In other words, they become
productive moments.

Young children use these material as an way to express or present their imaginations which can be different forms of arts.

As an future early childhood educator I would love to suggest celebrating a different cultural celebration with art as part of curriculum  (monthly basis).

For example we could set up an activity for Diwali celebration. The art activity associated with celebration is Diwali art works.  This art activity helps sparks connections and young children will start to respect other cultures and learn new skills.

Recapitulation can be defined as a musical movement which is combined with rearraigning music. A particular  musical idea which is from the beginning section of a piece of music restated. For example 1 part is repeated again after part 2.

Even though  it is a repeat the initial idea is developed or slightly changed. Including this kind of activities in curriculum is essential in order to enhance their learning outcomes. It helps young children to own experiments.

Professional knowledge: recapitulation - module 4 - Lcture notes

Below video is my creative art documentation in response to the relationship between documentation and assessment, the quarterly periodical of North American Reggio Emilia alliance in which I explored many crucial theories we practice in order to become an successful early childhood educator.

What I have demonstrated here is one thing can be expressed or explored in much way which may always lead to new innovations.

A child might come up with an idea to use coffee beans to denote sand instead of brown crayon.
Hence as an early childhood educator we must ensure we provide as much as resources or option that enhance the creativity of children.

So we can provide children with real sand, coffee beans, water colors or wooden flakes. It is quite important provide my options so children can have better learning experience.

The Arts are a part of the educational curricula of every country in the world, yet they are defined differently according to the culture in which they are created; indeed, the Arts are the culture and content specific, and their meaning varies from country to country (Bamford, 2006).

Art often leads to different encounters and sparks connections . As you can see in the below picture the child is doing painting at the same time she is investigating gravity through paint pouring.

This a one of good example which demonstrate the vitality of imaginations and arts in early childhood education.

Art is the name for various creative activities; a painting sculpture, dance , literature music and so on. It is the name given for all the expressions of human creative skills and imaginations. As well as each art is a different means of communication an expression.
All these different types of arts are crucial and important feature of young children education. Arts and in particular music and movement are culturally determined, carry aesthetics and agency, are situated in the curriculum such as the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) or even the Australian Curriculum (ACARA).

All of us present our imagination through an art. That is why we call art is language. For instance if i want express the way i feel when i see a falling river which is beautiful. I could draw a painting using water colors and express my idea how water is dancing and splashing by stones. Or else I could play a flute to my own rhythm to communicate a sense of natural beauty and clam. Art makes us creators and inventors.

In the past 20 years early childhood education (ECE) has been conceptualized. Imagination an arts are integral parts of young children's education process. As early childhood educators thinking with music is important in exploring effective pedagogical approaches.
