I believe students from early age must have as many opportunities as possible to immerse in various art . Art does not only help them express their creativity but also help as an outlet to how to express emotions and allowing them to develop imagination,enhance thinking skills and finding out who they are in relationship to world around them.
With strong foundations of basics skills art can empower even youngest students to experience success. Which in turn will help personal creativity blossom . Students should feel safe in a classroom environment where their ideas and efforts are appreciated. The focus should be on process not necessarily on product. When process is followed and enjoyed product will follow.
