Why is it so important that children be encouraged to express their creativity?
Creativity unlocks a whole new world in a child's life.
It allows the child to dream, to explore, to let out emotions,
and to communicate to the world, or just a friend,
an inner most feeling that can be expressed only through art.
When we say, "a picture is worth a thousand words,"
we can also say,
"a picture may be the only word."

Why is Art Education Important?
Art is essential to learning-not just an educational frill. Learning about the visual arts gives students a window onto the rich and interesting world around them, teaching them about their own history and culture, as well as those of other people. It cultivates self-expression, imagination and creativity as well as critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Students who learn about art develop their capacities to weigh meanings and make evaluations and judgments. Understanding and making art can teach students how to work cooperatively in groups and how to work hard to achieve a goal.
The development of all of these skills and attributed not only makes students better learners but it also helps students feel good about themselves-it builds self-esteem. And in a world in which ideas and information are often delivered visually, children need to learn how to analyze and judge the meaning of images and how to use them to communicate their own ideas.
