“Art has the role in education of helpin’ children become like themselves instead of more like everyone else”
G. Clemens.
EDUCATORS tell us that art encourages fine motor skills, neural development, and problem-solving abilities and that it can be used effectively to teach and understand other key subjects such as reading, writing, math, and science.
THERAPISTS tell us that ART is valuable because it allows children to process their world, to deal with sometimes scary emotions in a safe way, and because it gives them critical sensory input.
ARTISTS tell us that art is important for its own sake-as a source of beauty and expression, as well
as simply for the process of creating.
KIDS tell us that art is fun, an activity they enjoy. Art is naturally linked to creativity, an attribute that is increasingly being touted as one of the most important factors for the success of individuals, organizations, and cultures.
The truth is that art is vital, if somewhat intangible, and that if children engage in hands-on art activities, they learn much better in all disciplines. LET’S PAINT & GET MESSY 🎨🙌🔝!!!
