Our weekend PAINTING classes are back! Many of our alumni from this class have started selling their paintings in the open market for as high as N10,000 per piece! .
Apart from starting a business from painting, here are a few other benefits that painting confers on your child.
1. FOSTERS CREATIVITY
Children who paint learn to think with an open mind, to look at situations creatively. They learn to express themselves more deeply through their art and their words. Theyβre able to take the lessons learned through painting and apply those skills to new situations. They develop critical-thinking skills and must make decisions about what works and what doesnβt on their own.
2. SELF ESTEEM
By learning to paint, children gain a skill which they can be proud of. It gives them a foundation to look at the world with the confidence they can accomplish a goal. The response they get from others in regard to their work can boost their self-confidence. Because there is no right way in the arts, children who paint can be proud to be unique and to express their artistic style.
3. DEVELOPMENTAL BENEFITS
Creative activities, like painting, help the brain develop. The right side of the brain is used for emotional and creative responses, while the left side of the brain focuses on analytical processes and logic. Learning to paint benefits children by using both sides of their brain. By stimulating the creative side of the brain, painting helps make the connection between the two sides, which is how we reach our full potential.
4. STRESS RELIEF
Painting provides a sanctuary for children. When theyβre stressed, they can turn to painting to lose themselves in the brush strokes. The act of creating provides a soothing place for them to turn to, and the feeling of accomplishment from completing a project can help replace negative feelings about other things. It can act as a type of therapy, helping bring out their feelings through painting. .
Classes start on Saturday the 20th of January 2018. Call 08064646340 for more details and registration.
