In today’s tech-heavy classrooms, traditional art education is often pushed to the sidelines. But at Young Rembrandts, we believe something essential is missing—and we’re on a mission to bring it back.
When our children engage in activities like art, music, dance, or visual arts, it’s not solely about training them to become professional artists in the future. Instead, it’s about enriching their educational journey in profound ways. Sometimes, the impact of arts education on a person’s life trajectory is direct and significant. Take, for instance, the story of Cindy, as shared in an excerpt from my book, “Being Visual.”
Now more than ever people are questioning their life choices. With the Great Resignation in full effect, more people than ever are looking into career change possibilities.
Not all children learn the same way. Our left-brain dominant kids are comfortable in the world of language. Our right-brain dominant kids thrive in the world of images. For these students, no seeing means no thinking. No thinking means no learning. Visual art training helps them develop the visual skills that are essential to their learning.
Given Young Rembrandts art education focus, is it important that franchisees be established in the arts to ensure success? Just as with any business, a passion for driving growth is important for success, as is a belief in the franchise’s mission of quality arts education.
This last month of school can be challenging for everyone. Kids are squirrely. Parents are feeling burned out from all the end of year activities and a full year of homework battles. And, teachers are at their wits end trying to keep everyone engaged just a little bit longer. Not to worry, we have some great ideas for brain breaks and alternative learning activities to keep the kids interested.
Children who learn to draw using the Young Rembrandts method develop spatial reasoning and fine motor skills, order and sequencing abilities, visualization, and self-discipline as well as fundamental art skills. Enroll your child in a class at her school today.
Who doesn’t want to hear they’re awesome?! For the most part, awesome is in the eyes of the beholder and as parents of visual kids we can see the awesome and appreciate all the special quirks and talents that come with being a visual learner. A creative type, whose room is pile after pile of experiments or projects, who drives us absolutely crazy trying to get out the door on time and who can make a 10 minute homework assignment last all afternoon.
