I teach clay classes to children and adults. One cold afternoon a family came in to 41 a clay class together. It was a one-hour class that was meant to allow the family some fun at 42 their own artistic creations.
Three children aged nine, seven and three sat in their seats 43 to begin their little artistic creations. The warm clay and various tools made their eyes full of 44 . They were so excited to begin. Every word I said made them feel 45 in the clay class and so they began to create. The young artists enjoyed their 46 to touch, feel and express themselves until their parents 47 and controlled their every moment. They were told to do this, do that, use this, not that ... I 48 watched as the little blooms of creations were taken from their small hands.
The children were 49 by their parents who felt if they need to be told and how to create 50 their pieces of art looked good.
The three-year-old who rebelled was told she was 51 . I want to ask how the parents would feel if they were enjoying themselves creating a piece of art and I 52 it from them and totally controlled the 53 of its creation. I asked the controlling father if he would like to have a cup of coffee and let the three-year-old just 54 , explaining she would have fun and stop 55 him. He did and she continued focusing on her work with the most beautiful smile.
The other children looked more 56 and finished their pieces. Mom gave some words of 57 to each of them and their faces lit up with joy.
In today’s world, with a faster and faster pace of life, I 58 that some parents and teachers are not letting children 59 as they want. It is better to let children create works of art in their own way 60 tell them to do in ways that please us as adults.
