The role of art classes in children's development
With over 30 years of teaching art classes in Miami, we know that drawing and painting is the first type of creative activity of the child. From an early age, children take on pencils and paints, creating their pictorial "masterpieces". By elementary school, art becomes a conscious, systematic exercise. At this stage, it does not matter at all whether the child has artistic talent. Drawing and painting lessons for kids are an indispensable condition for the formation of a versatile, harmonious personality.
The benefits of drawing and painting for children are undoubted and scientifically grounded:
- Art classes develop fine motor skills, and this is the stimulation of brain areas responsible for thinking, speech, visual and motor memory, and coordination. During drawing and painting, both hemispheres of the brain are involved, inter-hemispheric connections arise actively.
- The child develops spatial intelligence and imagination.
- In the process of work, the child gets a real result. This teaches his goal setting and forms an orientation towards productive activity.
- Through the drawing and painting, the child expresses himself, projects on the paper his psychological state.
- Art classes are considered a calming and soothing activity. It is especially useful to children who are prone to whims, depression and neurosis.
- Systematic art lessons teach the child to structure time, develop perseverance, and form discipline.
- Through art classes, children learn to creatively comprehend the world around them, see objects and phenomena in his/her own way.
- Art projects creation is a process involving experiments, creativity, and individual vision of objects. It is in the process of working on a project that a child learns to perceive his mistakes - and as a chance to create something new and unique. This approach helps children to relax, to become more independent and more successful.
- The process of creating a drawing or painting allows a person to feel not “a grain of sand”, but a creator, which favorably affects his/her self-esteem and self-identification.
- Examining the pictures, selecting the palette, bringing the work to the satisfaction, a child learns to distinguish nuances, to see the general and the particular, to compare and generalize.
- The main thing that art classes give to children from the point of view of aesthetic education is the introduction to global culture through the visual arts.
