Core Skills
There are numerous benefits of children creating art, from problem-solving abilities to fine and gross motor skills. Art promotes creativity, encourages neural connections, sharpens visual learning and helps to build language development. By making or talking about art, it provides young learners with opportunities to learn new vocabulary for art elements such as colors, shapes, materials, tools, and actions. Student will learn the following core skills in our GSA Art Program:
- Speaking Skills- learn new vocabulary, answer questions and engage in classroom discussions; For example: “I am using the smaller brush.” “My favorite artist is Monet.”
- Utilize Creativity and Self Expression- create art that represents a thought or memory and is based on exploration
- Problem Solving - apply hands-on practice of skills in reasoning and understanding. How do I make this? How can I draw this? What colors can I make when I mix two different ones together?
- Perspective- consider a situation from a different point of view and put yourself in the other person's position to imagine what you would feel, think, or do. Students will learn about and apply perspective when looking at famous art works, artists' lives, or examining and discussing other students' art work.
