5 Reasons Why the Arts are Important for Youth...

Why are the Arts Important for Youth?

1. When children engage in the arts, they begin to grow in their creativity, process their thoughts and feelings in a healthy way, and gain self-confidence

2. They become part of the bigger picture of the community, creating performances, concerts, and exhibits to share their gifts and talents with others.

3. They develop deeper friendships and deeper family ties as they begin to express themselves at a deeper level through what they are creating, but also, through their interactions with others while they also gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and emotions as well as the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of others.

4. They are given the freedom to have fun, be filled with joy, and increased health and well-being as the arts have a healing component to them as they give life to the feelings and emotions, one feels internally.

5. The arts also teach discipline and self-mastery as the youth not only explore different forms of art, but also, hone their artistic skills with our professional teachers in their favorite areas!!
