Art Education It's been proven that early exposure to visual art promotes activity in the brain.

Participating in art activities helps children to gain the tools necessary for understanding human experience, ways of working and thinking, developing creative problem solving skills, and communicating thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways. Art nurtures inventiveness as it engages children in a process that aids in the development of self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation.
