Self expression – coloring on a blank “canvas” (piece of paper), is a way for children and adults alike to express themselves.

You can tell a lot about the way a person is feeling by the images that they draw, the colors that they use, etc.

It is important to give children a chance to express themselves, and not all children express themselves through words and through writing, many use art.

Regardless of whether it’s scribbling, or coloring the “best picture ever”, coloring can be a way to de-stress, after a busy morning of school work, wind down, and calm down, after the stresses of a day at school or work.
