A vital factor in every child’s development is the
stimulation of active imagination and creativity.
This book presents ideas that encourage selfexpression
through the medium of watercolors.
Fundamental and practical, this book is based
on Goethe’s color theory, showing that painting
with children is more than merely a form of
self-expression—Brunhild Müller encourages
the reader to understand children’s fantasies
and inner being through their artworks.
This is an essential guide for both parents and
teachers. It covers preparation, color stories and
poems, and painting the moods of nature and
seasons of the year.
