The Importance of Art in Child Development
Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development. Learning to create and appreciate visual aesthetics may be more important than ever to the development of the next generation of children as they grow up.
Developmental Benefits of Art: Improve motor skills, language development, decision making, visual learning, inventiveness, improve academic performance, and cultural awareness.
