Art (Primary)
26th April, 2019
Art is an activity that can employ all the senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste—depending on the activity. Children's brain synapses fire away as they experiment and create, squishing paint between their fingers, mixing colors and materials, or drawing from imagination or what they see in front of them. Art is a soothing activity for children. Through art children often express emotions they are unable to verbalize. Sharing art with others can create feelings of empathy and unity. "Observing art children recognize and understand that other children share many feelings, experiences, and fears". Teachers in charge : Miss Alpa and Miss Avani
