history background
 

the beginning In 1970 Marja de Jong started giving drawing-lessons to young children. It began with the request of a mother who specially wanted Marja de Jong to give her child lessons in drawing and painting. Three to eighteen-year-old children now work weekly under her inspiring guidance. The AllaprimA foundation has organised special exhibitions with the results of these drawing-lessons and is publicing a book with children's drawings and paintings.

work expressivily The general aim of expressive creation is to teach children to observe and experience in a conscious way. Children learn to convert this observing and experiencing into two- and three-dimensional images. They become aware of what they see, haer, feel and experience. They learn to be open to coincidences, to changes and several solutions to a problem. This fundamentel attidude can be developed within the field of expressive creation.
