The Power of Art

Teacher Thoughts: Art is an important part of your child's elementary education, regardless of whether you think he or she will be the next Picasso or Cassatt. Children are active learners, and making art is a hands-on activity that expands the imagination and exercises creativity. In the art room we help to develop small motor control and hand-eye coordination. Making art sharpens the powers of observation and concentration and builds creative problem solving skills. It's also lots of fun!
