10 Reasons Why Art is Good For Kids and the World!

1) Art Generates a Love of Learning & Creativity. Art develops a willingness to explore what has not existed before. Art teaches risk taking, learning from one”s mistakes, and being open to other possibilities. Kids who are creative are also curious and passionate about knowing more.
2) Art Develops the Whole Brain. Art strengthens focus and increases attention, develops hand-eye coordination, requires practice and strategic thinking, and involves interacting with the material world through different tools and art mediums.
