Why Kids Need Art Education

The benefits of art education are endless, but recent research suggests that the arts can help kids develop focus, discipline and perseverance. Most notably, a study found that children who take art and music classes do better academically than those who don't.

Art education can — and should — start early. Art lessons for toddlers are focused more on the process and less on the product. An art lesson for a toddler isn't about creating something to put on the fridge, it is about exploring materials, developing fine motor skills and expressing themselves through art.

Children have a natural desire to create. The problem with today's world is that we have taken away any opportunity for our kids to be creative. With so many activities planned out for children, they don't have time to explore their interests and develop them. An art teacher will teach these kids how to draw and show them that it is OK to make mistakes.

Additionally, children learn by exploring their environment, so art lessons should be provided in a safe and supportive environment where they feel free to analyze and make mistakes without fear of being criticized or punished. A healthy balance between structure and freedom is essential to keep them engaged.

DIY Arts and Crafts in Newport News

If you have kids or grandkids, consider a few simple tips to help them get the most out of the art lessons at home with our DIY arts and crafts:

If you have room in your house, set up an area where kids can leave their projects out. Having a dedicated space will encourage kids to explore their creativity daily and make it easier to pick up where they left off.

When it comes to art supplies, our motto is 'the more, the merrier.' A range of materials inspires imagination and makes it easy for kids to tackle projects when inspiration strikes.

Ensure your child has access to all the supplies they need for their project before starting. This allows them to focus on their artwork instead of running around looking for things like scissors or glue sticks. It also prevents clutter from building up in your home if you don't have any storage space for supplies after class ends!

There are many ways to inspire your child to create! Whether taking a trip to an art museum or watching videos on YouTube, finding inspiration helps your child find artistic motivation.

Whether it’s proudly displaying the latest creation on the fridge or hanging them up in a home gallery, celebrating the hard work and creativity children put into their art is a great way to keep them motivated and show them how their efforts have paid off.

You don't always need to guide the work. Let children create with their own ideas. What are they interested in today? How can they turn that into an art project? Let them work through their own problem solving by encouraging them to try new things.
