the benefits of art education
Creativity is a brain booster! It builds confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Improves concentration and makes us feel more engaged and resilient. Develops practical abilities in observation, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Engages critical thinking, risk taking and problem solving. Teaches essential skills such as following a process, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and critical judgement. Expands creative expression, celebrating difference and acceptance of all creative interpretations. The bonus is... learnings cross-pollinate into innovative thinking across the curriculum, the benefits are endless!
