Maywood & Nichols Visual Art & Design

Art is a unique area in the elementary curriculum because:

it allows your child

bullet

to create work that is meaningful and satisfying to them

bullet

to develop their creative potential

bullet

it also requires them to think,

bullet

and to solve both concrete and creative problems.

it helps build your child’s

bullet

visual awareness,

bullet

technical knowledge

bullet

and fine motor skills,

the process of creating art requires
bullet

decision-making,

bullet

individual and group problem-solving,

bullet

and expects children to express thoughts and ideas

All of these processes together

help to develop your child’s critical thinking skills,

which are vital to their development as an individual,

and as a productive member of their community.
