Why Should Your Child Do Art Classes? Featured
Art Classes Improve Academic Performance
Research has shown that students who regularly particpate in the visual arts often see improvements in other subjects such as mathematics, reading and writing.
Why does this happen?
Art exercises the brain in a way that can strengthen cognitive skills and have a positive impact on, memory, ability to concentrate, processing speed and problem solving.
And because the practice of art is enjoyable and creative children are more likely to become engaged and focussed in the activity.
Skills in Visual Processing, Perception & Communications are developed
Any skills can only learned and developed through practice and exercise. By engaging in active "visual" tasks such as drawing & art children develop skills that are under-exercised by the reading and writing based tasks that dominate the basic schooling system.
This leads to ...
Competence in "Whole Brain Thinking"
Students with stronger "right brain" visual skills to complement "left brain" logic skills are better able to perceive tasks as a whole, think laterally and solve problems.
At Sydney Art School we offer art classes designed to extend and enrich your child's art education. Classes are tailored for the stage of development of the student and are appropriate for primary and high school students
