Introduction
Art not only adds color to our spaces, but also has many positive effects on our lives. Enjoying art together as a family is a great opportunity to deepen communication within the home and nurture children's creativity and sensitivity. Summer vacation is just around the corner! Let's think about the positive changes that enjoying art together as a family can bring to our homes!
3 Positive Changes Painting Can Make in Your Home
1. Deepen parent-child communication
The process of selecting a painting is a collaborative effort, with the whole family exchanging opinions. Through topics such as "What does this painting represent?" and "What colors do you like?", parent-child dialogue naturally increases. Also, by sharing your impressions while looking at the paintings, it becomes an opportunity to learn about each other's values and sensibilities.
2. It develops creativity and imagination
Paintings stimulate the senses and imagination of those who see them. When children look at a painting and wonder, "Is that the ocean?" or "How did they get that color?", they develop creative thinking. Also, by having paintings displayed in their home and being exposed to them every day, you can expect their interest in art to naturally grow.
3. It brightens the atmosphere at home.
Hanging your favorite paintings can brighten up any space and change the atmosphere of your entire home. Hanging a soothing landscape painting in the living room or placing an uplifting, colorful abstract painting in the child's room will turn each space into a comfortable place. Integrating paintings into your daily life will bring healing and energy to the whole family.

Fun art activities for parents and children
1. Easy painting
We recommend painting with watercolors or crayons, which are easy even for beginners to get started in. For example, by setting a theme such as "family trip memories" or "favorite animal," children can develop the ability to dig up concrete images in their minds.
2. DIY Art Projects
It's fun to paint a picture on a canvas together with your child, or make a collage using origami or stamps. The sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a handmade project is a great motivation for children.
3. Create a home gallery
It's also nice to create a mini gallery in your home by devising a display space. By displaying artworks in a corner of the living room, a hallway, or other place where the family gathers, you can add a special feeling of art to your everyday life.
4. Participate in an art workshop
Attending a local art workshop is a great way for parents and children to have fun learning about art together. Learning from professional artists and instructors can give you a new perspective.

These are workshops for children held in Midtown during the summer holidays. There are a lineup of nearly 20 programs that stimulate the creativity of professionals from designers, art universities, corporate design departments, and more. Parents and children can participate together, so it's a great experience that will create memories of the summer holidays together.
5. Become familiar with art through illustrated books and manga
Many children's picture books and comics have been published that introduce world paintings such as the Mona Lisa, Renaud, and ukiyo-e in easy-to-understand color.
Many children will develop an interest in picture books and manga and start reading them on their own. Even if you don't immediately purchase art, having items that are easy to read nearby can be a great way to learn about the many interesting and beautiful works of art that exist in the world.

Art creates possibilities for the future
Spending time enjoying art together as a parent and child is not just a momentary joy, but can have a profound impact on a child's future. Developing imagination and expressiveness will be important skills for future studies and work. Furthermore, the family memories created through art will become treasures that will never fade even after the children become adults.
summary
Art experiences deepen the bond between parents and children and bring about rich changes in the home. The healing and creativity that art brings has the wonderful power to add color to everyday life and support children's development. Why not start an art experience that the whole family can enjoy as the summer vacation approaches?
