The Compass School : Process Art

The learning philosophy at The Compass School is Reggio Emilia- Inspired. Art plays a critical role in this philosophy with the idea that children best express their interests and understanding of their surrounding environment and community through their art. In this line of thinking, The Compass School focuses on offering art supplies and time for the children to express themselves. Much of this expression respects the process of the creation, not the product, aligning with the idea of Process Art.

According to Wikipedia, in Process Art the principal focus of the art piece is the process, instead of the final product. "The 'process' in process art refers to the process of the formation of art: the gathering, sorting, collating, associating, patterning, and moreover the initiation of actions and proceedings. Process art is concerned with the actual doing and how actions can be defined as an actual work of art; seeing the art as pure human expression. (Wikipedia Process Art)"

Below are some examples of Process Art within our school.
