Art is the way of expressing someone’s imaginations, emotions, and ideas. It may be in the form of paintings, sculptures or words. It is essentially beautiful and is intended to be appreciated for its artistic power. Arts is also somewhat subjective which means the artist and the viewers can have different interpretations of its product. Abstract art in contrast to figurative art focuses on the use of unusual way of representing art. Paintings may be made in different shapes, colors, anything that the artist wants it to be. Contemporary art is also called the art of today since artists are diversely influenced by the present culture, technological innovations and a lot of other factors. Art stimulates the human’s brain and emotions and translates into actual objects which can be seen and touch other people’s lives.
Art is introduced to children in their younger years in school. It is some of their favorite subjects because most of the time children will be drawing or do painting in class. Most of the time, children enjoy art classes because it is stress-free and enables them to fully express what they want in the form of drawings or coloring. It also relieves them from the stress they got from other subjects. This subject also ignites the creative thinking our children have and is also a good way to practice their problem-solving skills. It is a good practice for them to practice their creativity at younger ages to stimulate learning. This practice enhances brain activity which is vital especially for children.
Having the feeling of accomplishment for finishing a painting or drawing, children may have a boost in self-confidence for having a job well done. Since children learn in their own unique way, teaching them art can open up their hidden talents. One may not know their child’s talent unless they actually try them doing art. Children may not exhibit their fondness for art until they are praised for their good work. And since not all children excel in some subjects like math or science, doing art can help them to grow into better learners. It could be that your child may perform best in art class.
