Identity, Creativity and Alienation in the Context of Child and Art

The child avoids reflecting judgment on the specifics of what s/he sees because many things can change in the child’s eyes. The importance of exposing children to art early on and helping them to develop an aesthetic sense cannot, therefore, be overstated. Since they can focus on the details because they cannot grasp the whole, children can be excellent artists. However, many children are hesitant to share their creative thoughts and innovations due to the fact that they are concerned about how others might reflect on them. This study was motivated by the experience of writing a story after taking part in art and aesthetic sessions with elementary school pupils in an underprivileged area. There seem to be many similarities between what kids experience in the real world and the virtual one they create. The research’s findings indicate that children’s loneliness, alienation, and identity issues were reflected in their narratives.
