   Why Art is Good… Art awakens the imagination and stirs up the magic within! In young children, exploring art develops focus and attention, good hand-eye coordination, and builds self-esteem. More than 33% of children are visual learners and it has been shown that when art is integrated with other curriculum areas, children actually become more engaged in the process.
Art, not only teaches children to take risks and to learn from one’s mistakes, but to see that there can be more than one solution to the same problem. By fostering open-ended thinking, art also creates an environment of questions rather than answers. Art teaches children to learn to explore playfully, without a preconceived plan, learning from accidents and being surprised by the outcome
