Studies show that there is a critical link to reading, writing and math excellence in children who are exposed to art, drama and music.
A study of fifth graders, Critical Links: Learning in the Arts and Student Academic and Social Development, by Deasy, Richard J., Ed. showed that children exposed to visual arts improved reading skills, music improved math learning, performing arts enhanced creative thinking and drama improved writing skills.
“By being able to explore their creativity, children can exercise skills which can strengthen their academic abilities and success in school,†says Shell Herman, KidzArt Co-Founder and CEO.
Preschoolers to teens, can learn drawing techniques and participate in age appropriate, creative activities (dance, music, drama, art) to enhance learning and build skills needed to succeed in the classroom.
Enroll you children in after-school programs, libraries programs, daycare centers, and school classes which use the arts to enhance their curriculums.
You can help your child better prepare for standardized tests by listening to soft music to promote a relaxing atmosphere.
Art gives children the ability to actively create and “do†which can improve cognitive development, strengthen communication and expressive skills and boost reasoning and organization skills.
