The Benefits Of Art Class

There is an increasing amount of scientific evidence that proves art enhances brain function. It has an impact on brain wave patterns and emotions, the nervous system, and can actually raise serotonin levels. Art can change a person’s outlook and the way they experience the world.

Decades of research have provided more than a sufficient amount of data to prove that arts education impacts everything from overall academic achievement to social and emotional development and so much more. Research has proven the arts develop neural systems that produce a broad spectrum of benefits ranging from fine motor skills to creativity and improved emotional balance. Quite simply, the arts are invaluable to our proper functioning individually and as a society.

Some of the multiple benefits include;

  • Learning to express feelings, with or without words

  • Learning to think creatively and with an open mind

  • Learning to observe and describe, analyse and interpret

  • Learning how to relax and find mental stillness in a busy world

  • Collaboration with other children and with adults

  • Practice problem-solving skills, critical-thinking skills

  • The ability to discover that there is more than one right answer, the idea of multiple points of view

  • Art introduces children to cultures from around the world

  • Art has been found to help children with physical, emotional or learning challenges, any child can experience success in the arts

  • Art builds confidence.  There is not just one right way to make art, every child can feel pride in their artistic creations.
