Did you know that drawing and art have a major contribution in developing the reading skills of children? The Art Classroom is a great place for children to learn a number of skills which will benefit them greatly in their later lives. Many people will automatically dismiss art class as a place not worth a serious effort because all that kids do is enter the art room and have fun, so they surely must not be learning anything important. This is far from the truth, however. Just because the children are having fun, it does not mean that they are not learning anything. On the contrary, because of the level of fun, the children are perhaps learning even more than they would in another subject.
Art classrooms teach children many skills which traditional classroom settings do not. Drawing is one of the most basic forms of art as most works of art will include the representation of an image on the paper or canvas. By teaching children to draw at an early age, they will develop a whole lot of other important life skills.
Benefits of Drawing
- Children will learn to make choices and decisions, developing reasoning skills to weigh out the positive and negative aspects of what they see before they begin to draw.
- Children will develop focus and attention since they need to focus on what they are drawing, study their subjects carefully and coordinate the hand with eye movements. Children learn coordination and motor skills, making their hands reproduce either what their eyes see or their mind envisions.
- Children will learn to begin how to make comparisons between different aspects like shapes, proportions, tones, textures, and sizes. This begins to shape their constructive view, allowing them to make assessments. Children learn how to tap into their creative side to make something without judging the outcome before it happens.
- Children learn the satisfaction of completing a job in a satisfying way, as well as taking the initiative to finish that project. This is a huge benefit in today’s world, the work ethic that many people lack. Children will also learn the important skills of learning to critique projects. They can analyze something they are presented with and through that, they will learn how to look at the good and not so good aspects of any work. This teaches children the important skills of analysis which will come into play for the rest of their lives. Art can bring all of these skills to children and these are important cognitive skills for success in one’s entire life.
Finally, the children will learn that, as with anything in this life, drawing ability will improve with practice. If they keep a portfolio of their work, after a few months they will be able to look back and see how much their work has improved since the earlier attempts. This is a vital skill to instill in children, that with hard work, success will come. This is why beginning at an early stage, encouraging children to explore their drawing ability can set them up for great success.
