ART CORNER
Life involves a lot more than
material prosperity, and art contributes to almost everything else that is part
of being human (as well as having great practical use at times, as some of the
other answers point out.)
Art is good for the spirit, the
imagination. Visual art gives new sharpness and perspective to the way we see
the world. Music, poetry, ballet fulfill a need for beauty and harmony. More
controversial art forces us to think, to reevaluate. Literature develops our
empathy, our ability to imagine ourselves in other places, or being other
people.
The desire for beauty, the pleasure in beauty and symmetry, is a human desire
just as much as the desire for love, for instance.
Art is the expression of feelings, and when we have strong feelings
and are not ourselves artists, then it helps to hear a symphony or to read
a poem that express those same feelings for us. Furthermore, my topic here
is all about Elements (Grade 1 first quarter):1st Line, 2nd Shape, 3rd Texture,
and 4th Color
Why
is art important for kids?
Children's senses
are engaged in open-ended play with art, which helps them develop cognitive,
social-emotional, and multi-sensory skills. Art continues to provide chances for
brain development, mastery, self-esteem, and creativity as children progress
through elementary school and beyond. Art also allows a child to express
himself or herself. They communicate by drawing on their own unique emotions,
thoughts, and experiences through expression. When they look at and analyze the
work of others, they are seeing the world through their eyes. When they
produce, they let the world see right through their own. Moreover, establishing
an Art Corner in our room exposes children to various forms of art. As a
result, they will be able to enjoy, understand, and appreciate the arts with
others.
