Why Is Process Art a Big Deal?

Updated: Mar 4, 2019

You hear a lot about process art, but what is it exactly and why should you care? Young children under the age of eight are still learning how to use their hands and fingers and gripping a paint brush helps them develop their fine motor skills so they can write. Process art is a focus on the process and not the end result of an art project. It's about the actual creating and the benefits children get from exploring and creating without the stress of making something perfect. According to Meri Cherry, of mericherry.com "children don’t need to be told what to do, they need to be given rich experiences to explore and engage in.  Children are capable beings that given the opportunity will continue to raise the bar on their own learning and development."

🎨 Art at Wonder Academy – Parent FAQ

Q: Is art included in the elementary school program?

Yes! At Wonder Academy, we believe creativity is a vital part of learning. All elementary students participate in daily core art classes as part of their regular school day. These classes are process-based and integrated with other subjects like science, literacy, and social studies.

Q: What’s the difference between core art and specialty art classes?

Core art happens daily and is included in tuition. It’s designed to give every student a strong foundation in creativity, technique, and self-expression.

Specialty art classes are optional after-school or weekend workshops that focus on fun, themed experiences like Adopt a Pet, Wizards & Wands, or To Infinity and Beyond. These are separate from the school day and open to both Wonder Academy students and the broader community.

Q: Do I have to sign my child up for specialty classes?

Nope! Specialty classes are completely optional. They’re great for kids who want to explore more advanced techniques or enjoy extra time creating. If your child already gets their art fix during the day, you’re all set!

Q: Are there discounts for enrolled students?

Yes! Wonder Academy families often receive a discounted rate for specialty classes as a thank-you for being part of our school community.
