Consider the world without Art what would be the impact on the lack of graphics on the children’s favourite video game. Art makes the children more thoughtful and develops analytical skills.
Art is something that is both functional and aesthetic pleasing to the eyes of the children. Creating Art expands a child’s ability to interact with the world around them, and provide a new set of skills for self expression and communication.
Art not only develops analytical skills but also cultivates important skills that benefit a childs self development. When a child draws a picture, paints a portrait, that child is beginning to communicate visually.
Children express themselves through art on a fundamental level, sometime their artwork is the manifestation of that expression, but more often the physical process of creating is the expression. Art is one area where children and their creativity have free rein.
