It’s true that art is effective for educational development.
Art is a very effective tool for children's educational development. Here are some of the benefits that art can have on children's education:
Developing expressive and communication skills: Art provides opportunities for children to express themselves. Drawing and making objects allow children to express their thoughts and feelings about themselves and the world around them. You may also communicate with others through artwork. This develops children's expressive and communication skills.
Developing creativity and imagination: Art stimulates children's creativity and imagination. By drawing and crafting freely, children can generate new ideas and create their own worlds. Creative thinking is an important skill in problem solving and creative expression.
Improves observation and concentration skills: Art helps children develop their observation and concentration skills. When painting, you need to carefully observe the details of objects and landscapes and recreate them. Also, working on art requires concentration. This will help your child develop their observation and concentration skills, which will also help them learn.
Promote manual development and spatial awareness: Art can also help children develop their manual skills and improve their spatial awareness. By drawing pictures and kneading clay, children hone their fine handwriting and hand movements. Additionally, children's spatial awareness is also encouraged as spatial elements are involved in the process of creating artwork.
Improves self-esteem: Art can also improve self-esteem for children. Completing their own artwork and receiving recognition and praise from others can help your child gain confidence. This is an important factor in learning and growth.
As mentioned above, art plays a very beneficial role in children's intellectual development. It is important to provide children with opportunities for a variety of art activities to foster free expression and creativity.
How to promote education through art
The following methods are recommended for promoting education through art.
Draw: Give your child the opportunity to draw. Drawing freely with colored pencils and crayons fosters children's expressiveness and creativity. Drawing pictures based on different themes and stories also develops imagination and storytelling skills.
Handmade crafts: Handmade crafts promote children's creativity and manual development. Give your child the opportunity to make crafts using different materials. For example, students use paper, cardboard, clay, beads, ribbon, etc. to make models of animals, plants, vehicles, etc., or to create original crafts.
Read picture books aloud: Read quality picture books aloud to your child. Picture books help children develop their language and develop their imagination. When reading a picture book, children can develop their powers of observation and concentration by looking at the pictures and illustrations while enjoying the story.
Appreciating visual art: Show your child works of visual art such as paintings, sculptures, and photographs. We offer the opportunity to view a variety of artworks through visits to museums and galleries, as well as online exhibitions on the Internet. Asking your child what they think about their work and discussing visual expressions and artistic elements will develop their powers of observation and sensitivity.
Music and dance experiences: Music and dance are also forms of art. Give your child opportunities to listen to music, play an instrument, and move to the rhythm. Exposure to music and rhythm develops children's musical sensitivity and physical expressiveness.
Providing a place for free expression: Art encourages children's growth through free expression. Give your child the freedom to create art. For example, we provide opportunities for expression with fewer constraints, such as having students create paintings or drawings using large canvases or walls, or creating clay works with free shapes and patterns.
By incorporating these methods, you can promote your child's intellectual development through art. The important thing is to provide art experiences appropriate to children's interests and preferences, and to expand their own expressive and creative possibilities.
“FROM ARTIST” is a platform recommended for educational purposes.
FROM ARTIST is a platform where artists can sell their paintings online. Various artists from all over Japan display and sell their works, so it is recommended for purchasing works for viewing at home.
Some of the artists listed on FROM ARTIST include illustrators and picture book authors, so we sell many cute and pop-style paintings that children will enjoy.
We also hold regular exhibitions, so you have the opportunity to see the actual products in person. An exhibition that brings together paintings by many artists is truly a sight to behold. Many children and families visited our past exhibitions.
Event information is also introduced on the site from time to time, so please check it out.
summary
If you are exposed to art from an early age, you will grow up to be a sensitive child, and even as an adult you will be able to use your imagination in your work. Of course, creative activities such as drawing pictures and kneading clay are good, but just displaying it in your living room or interacting with it on a daily basis is also effective. Please try incorporating art into your child's educational education.
