The self-portrait of a pre-school student design process in itself, in which the students contribute with their own identity, the joy and fun in artistic activity and the feeling of satisfaction with their own performance, which every person experiences after their completed artistic work, are far greater Meaning.

Painting with oil pastels in the art group A great motivation for the students is the experience that their "art" does not always stay in the classroom, but that their work is also recognized and valued outside of school. For example, pictures, cards and calendars are sold at the annual Christmas bazaars. Occasional picture exhibitions over a longer period of time in public institutions are always experiences of a very special kind.
