It helps to express feelings
Art forms such as coloring-in books and coloring-in pages do help the child to communicate and express her or his feelings. It has often been said that art is "The quality of communication" and you've heard no doubt that "A picture can tell more than a thousand words" so pictures and images do convey a message or communication.

You will see in some of these coloring-in pages, a line drawing and the same drawing in grayscale to give you a guide on color values (the lightness or darkness of a color.) Choose either to start off with. Online coloring books are a great way to start your art career.

Conveying the right message
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions and you have to have answers. Sometimes adults never understand some things and don't have the answers and this can be upsetting for children. Words do not always convey the right message but these art forms can.

Robert McNeil wrote "Parents can plant magic in a child's mind through words spoken with quality of voice to uplift the heart and spirit." It is the same with art and all its forms whether that be pure art, music or literature.
