Learning Through Art.

Kansas City PBS - Sesame Street in Communities Why Art is Important in Early Childhood Development. Presenter: Sarah Hirtzel, Young Rembrandts - KCMO Creating art gives children an opportunity to express themselves in a productive way. Encouraging art exploration at a young age is critical to a child’s brain development. Art can help bring science, math and literacy concepts to life, and help kids develop important self-regulation skills. Fostering an appreciation of art and teaching the basics can help kids succeed in school — and in life! Integrating art activities for children throughout their day helps to bring left brain and right brain learning together. In this session, we will learn ways to incorporate learning through art in the classroom. We will share ideas and resources that provide projects and activities to make your classroom a place where creativity thrives.
