In addition to having fun, art is a building block for children to learn so many important skills that they will use throughout their lives. As we welcome in the new school year, we will share a few articles that showcase the relationship between children, education & art.
Today we are sharing "Encouraging Self-Expression Through Art and Imagination" from from Bright Path which focuses on encouraging children's creativity with open-ended art activities that foster self-expression, confidence, and essential developmental skills.
