Kids are naturally gifted at art from a very young age. The problem is when they get older and become self-conscious. The process should always be fun, though.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.
Art is about going a little nuts... Kids do art for fun. It's playing.
There are different types of talents and intelligences, and traditional schools sometimes ignore the creative ones. It is important for us to give kids every platform for them to find what they are good at and what they love. The arts also provide a space for newfound creativity.
Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
If you ever have a kid who doesn't know what to do, stick him in art school. It's amazing what evolves.
We are all born artists... Almost everything kids do is art.
If your child really loves art, get them some good brushes. Get good material and make them feel that what they do is important.
It's only at this age that I can say the word 'art' without flinching.
Children have such vibrant minds. They need to play. They need to be creative. They need to imagine. It's so important for their sense of self discovery. And it helps them learn problem-solving.
I think the arts are very important for children growing up.
