School Success and Creativity
|
Here are some ways that artistic activities can help your
child succeed in the new school year:
1. Reduce the stress factor in your kids’ lives-
Provide a quiet area where your child can go to decompress from the school
day. Have art materials and simple household items available in a workspace
area away from the TV or noisy siblings so your child can relax by doing an
easy art activity.
2. Balance academics by introducing a “right brain”
extracurricular activity- Allow children to exercise their right brain
after a day of left-brain school academics. Right brain activity is
stimulated by new events or activities, working with different colors, shapes
and sizes as well as listening to music.
3. Develop and nurture creativity-
Art is just one of the many creative activities that can help children
improve cognitive development, strengthen communication, expressive skills
and boost reasoning and organization skills. By being able to explore their
creativity, children can exercise skills which can strengthen their
academic abilities and success in school.
4. Allow children to make mistakes-
Children often fear ridicule from their peers if they make a mistake.
Unfortunately this same fear inhibits creativity and creative problem
solving. Allowing your child to experiment with art also allows them to
take a risk and experience the creative process. This skill will serve them
well in their academic pursuits.
