Art is essential in expanding the horizons of children beyond everyday life. Children that are exposed to art early, are known to do better and go further in life as art creates an inner connection within the child to its outer environment.

Art education for children


Art education for children had all but disappeared from most American schools. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, some well-intentioned (albeit misguided) and others simply unfortunate. Despite the waning exposure kids have to the arts at school, science continues to demonstrate the many benefits of arts-based learning beginning at a young age. If the future of education continues to deprive children of exposure to the arts, it is up to parents and caregivers to advocate for arts education while finding alternative ways to provide it.
The Changing Face of American Education
Several key developments in American education have nearly stripped art-related education out of schools. The most common reason cited is funding. A focus on standards has also been instrumental in reducing educational focus on the arts due to schools competing for high marks on testing. As the economy slowly recovers from the economic turmoil of the last decade, schools in many states have begun to rebound from a funding perspective. However, rather than restore arts programs, states and school districts are placed an emphasis on beefing up STEM programs, rather than art-related learning initiatives.
Types of Art Education and Their Benefits
Creativity and innovation, both traits highly valued by employers, are developed through arts-related learning. Creativity gives rise to critical thinking, engagement and problem-solving. At every stage of a child's life, from early childhood through college, art-related exposure and learning has been shown to greatly improve physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. In addition to these proven benefits, arts-related education increases confidence in children as well as focus, perseverance and non-verbal communication. Children learn to better handle constructive feedback and to collaborate with others. Finally, the arts improve a child's dedication, self-discipline and accountability. Each of these skill sets directly influences a child's academic success as well. The research reflects a strong correlation between arts education and academic achievement.
The Push to Keep Children Balanced
Educational experts provide clear recommendations for an educational approach that incorporates the arts. The research leaves little doubt that kids need arts education as a part of a comprehensive and well-rounded education, and to guarantee their future success in life. Parents, caregivers and other family members can help by advocating for more art education programs in your school district. Meanwhile, experts advise not waiting for school programs to expose your kids to the arts. Dance, music, theater and the visual arts are all of equal importance and kids should be introduced to all four in early childhood.
Private teachers can provide beneficial learning opportunities however the research is clear that kids derive significantly greater benefit from group classes, lessons and programs. If your community has a children's arts academy, enroll your kids as early as possible. There is no fear of starting them too early and professional arts educators can tailor classes specifically to a particular age group. Students with that level of involvement were four times more likely to participate in a science or math fair, win an award for writing an essay, or be recognized for academic achievement. Parents are always on the lookout for ways to help their children get ahead. Nothing is more influential and fun than arts-related education.

Art Class Helps Autistic Kids Express Themselves | WDAY

Art Class Helps Autistic Kids Express Themselves | WDAY:





Coulter Keller is four years old and loves dinosaurs.




"I'm making an "obdominous" rex," says Coulter Keller, 4 year old Anne Carlson Client.
This budding artist is also autistic.

"Autism
is a neurological disability that can create problems with
communication, problems with social skills," says Charles Van Zee,
Autism Expert.

Charles Van Zee works with many kids with autism.

Through his class, he offers a way for the children to express themselves.

"There
are a wide variety of symptoms and every kid has their own unique
combination of the different possible outcomes. And that's something
that we really see a lot in our glass art is that the style reflects the
kids" says Van Zee.

"This is what you made last week. Do you like it?" says Van Zee, showing Coulter his work.

"Yea" says Coulter.

Van Zee says his class is the only one in the country that specializes on working with autistic students.

He
says someone with autism can benefit from creating 3D art in many ways
such as improving hand eye coordination, critical thinking and
individual expression.

"I think with Coulter it's the level of
enthusiasm. For a lot of kids with autism getting them to transition
into new activities can be a little more of a chore but most of the kids
that have done it just jump right into it," says Van Zee.

"They're chunks!" says Coulter, scooping out glass pieces from his jar.

"That
really illustrates what autism is. People think of it, like with some
other types of disabilities as this set standard, this is what you're
going to get, but it's really not," says Van Zee.

An art class teaching a lesson that every child is as unique as their creations.

Van Zee says he has high hopes for the class in the future and wants to make Christmas Ornaments with the kids for the holidays.
