What are the benefits of studying art at school?

Now that you know the importance of studying art at school, see below what benefits this practice brings to students!

Helps the child express their feelings
For us adults, expressing our feelings can be a complicated and often reprimanded task. Many go to therapy to learn to understand what they feel, their emotions and how they affect their daily actions. Many have this difficulty, even though they know names like anger, longing, joy, confusion, sadness.

However, imagine a child who, depending on their age, still has a limited vocabulary, has difficulty expressing their desires, pains and desires and still does not have an expanded understanding of the world and their individual and social relationships?

For them, art will become a vehicle for learning about themselves and the world. She will learn to reflect and understand her moments of anger, about her dreams, goals, desires, pains, fears, about what brings her satisfaction.

Art will be an exercise in self-knowledge, such an important tool for assimilating one's own limits, for defining what is good or not for oneself and for seeing the world from a resilient perspective.

Helps in developing creativity
Before we talk about creativity in childhood, let's discuss some new skills that companies are currently asking for from their employees. With the advanced development of communication, our work increasingly digitalized and closer to the public through social networks, organizations have asked their new employees to be:

creative;
dynamic;
open to deal with diversity;
persistent;
innovators;
have autonomy;
self-confident;
determined.
All of these qualities are present in good company leaders, good managers and good entrepreneurs. Did you know that the sooner we develop these skills, the less difficult it will be to demonstrate them in professional life?

At this point, you may be asking yourself “but are we thinking about the child’s future?”. Yes, we are thinking about the future, after all, regardless of the profession she chooses, it is very important that these characteristics appear in her professional performance.

Working with the arts in childhood will be fundamental for students to develop their creativity, one of the most sought after qualities in innovative companies, such as content production, fashion, education, advertising, architecture and construction, among many other possibilities.

In art classes, students will have contact with other forms of artistic expression, other cultures, new ethnic universes, which will become a fundamental set of references for life and for creating increasingly creative productions.
