Enrolling your child in an Art program will have a tremendous impact on his or her developmental growth. Studio art will stimulate and develop the imagination and critical thinking of a child, as well as refining their cognitive and creative skills. Art also strengthens problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, which will ultimately lead to improved academic performance, and school success. On a personal level, your child will gain a sense of craftsmanship and pride in the quality of  their work, as well as teaching them to set goals, which parallel the skills needed to succeed in the classroom. Students will also develop an ability for informed perception, articulate their decisions, and learn problem solving, self-discipline, and the responsibility necessary to complete tasks from start to finish. In group projects, students will learn to work in a team and respect alternative viewpoints, ultimately preparing them for complex future situations.
