With art Children can find an expressive outlet. If they are having difficulties in other parts of the school curriculum their art becomes their chosen way to show their talent, and communicate their other hidden strengths. For some children writing and verbalizing is not easy, and their art can become their way of communicating, offering ideas, and expressing their feelings.
