The Power of ART 7/13/2017

At The Academy we cannot express enough the importance of ART. Art not only lets children explore their inner creativeness, it also has several developmental benefits. Just a few are listed below:


Art Helps Develop Motor Skills: Many of the motions involved in making art, such as holding a paintbrush or scribbling with a crayon, are essential to the growth of fine motor skills in young children.

Art Helps Promote Language Development: For very young children, making art—or just talking about it—provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes and actions. 

Art Helps With Decision Making: Art education strengthens problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. 

Art Is Visual Learning: Drawing, sculpting with clay and threading beads on a string all develop visual-spatial skills, which are more important than ever. 

During Art Week, we explored creating art with several different art mediums, painted with different tools, sculptured with clay, made murals, and had PLENTY of free art! Take a look at some of the creativity that came about during a fantastic week!
