Arts & Crafts
Engaging in painting is definitely something familiar to everyone. Mixing colors, materials, designs with our imagination is always fascinating.In human nature, rhythm, imitation, movement and creation can be distinguished from a very young age. Many children discover a vastly interesting world through art.
Young artists, after coming into contact with an organized art space with specialized art educators, have the option to develop their techniques and further improve their fine motor skills and perceptual skills.
The benefit of a child’s sensitive temperament is that through art children express their feelings more easily. At the same time, through artistic expression, any worries of the child or adolescent soul become an “image” and eliminate stress.
As we live in an age where the ephemeral glow of “fashion” can bombard a child’s eyes with infinite information, art suggests a different way and helps the child to mature and grow! Papers, paints, pencils, inks, canvases, clay, collages, constructions, paintings are like steps that raise the imagination of children! Art teaching acquaints children with Art and gives them the choice to pursue a relevant career or to have an artistic education that will accompany them in their lives and in their choices.
Contact with colors, materials and artistic creative techniques is a means of relaxation not only for young children but also for adults who express themselves through art!
Many times we have noticed that parents themselves who trust us with their children as students, discover their need to reconnect with the world of art .. and be sure that this is a torrent of emotions! The venting of the need to relax through paint and canvas often surprises the creators themselves!
Finally let us remind you that involving children in art, and especially in our country, which has an incredibly rich Art History, gives us hope for a more beautiful world in the future!
