Art expands a child's creativity. Art provides a new set of skills for self-expression and communication. Not only does art help to develop the right side of the brain, but it also cultivates important skills that benefit a child's development. Art is a source of confidence in a child that may struggle in other areas of education. I feel that it is important to show my students all different aspects of art such as painting, sketching, watercolors, perspective, cross-hatching, stippling, and most of all just being creative and using their feelings to create amazing pieces of art. Your donation would allow our children's creativity to reach their full potential.
