Recently there has a been a great push toward STEM; Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. These fields of study are crucial in today’s business world. But, we really need to add an “A” for art, to make it complete and really reap the benefits of the innovation and creativity that being involved in the arts can produce.
Art matters, being creative matters. The right side of our brains are there for a reason – and it’s up to us to develop and use all the gifts we have been given. So have some fun finding ways for your kids to explore and enjoy doing art. And invite your self to the party.
If summer days are consistently lazy – a significant amount of hard earned school-year learning, will start to leak out.
So how do we make the most of summer? How do we plug the drain and make gains, especially for our right brain creative kids? The key is to make learning hands on, make it visual, add lots of art and time to create and above all – make it FUN.
Do you need some ideas on how to inject fun and variety into summer learning?
