Art is a way to express creativity and imagination.  It is also a way to spend peaceful time away from the chaos of academic school classes.  Kids can spend time painting, drawing or sculpting as a way to show their creativity. Kids should have more time to do art in school.

Art helps kids be creative. Making projects lets you use your imagination. You can draw, paint or even use clay. I can do work by myself or with friends and so can you. The most creative thing about art is that you can make whatever you want. You can paint a beach scene, draw ice cream cones, or build a house of clay or you could even draw a dog on the super soft beach staring in the sunset with the most subtle waves.

Art is a peaceful time of the day. Drawing lets your mind wander. In fact, it’s relaxing to think of peaceful pictures that you can draw or funny things that you can paint. Sometimes I don’t even think at all which is great!  Art does not stress me out like some other school subjects. In fact, studies show that some people can reconnect with their old memories such as people with dementia. In addition, studies show that people that have cancer, depression, or anxiety can express themselves better through art.

Art helps kids learn organization.  Kids can organize their materials that they’re using. You get to organize the spacing of your drawings or paintings or plan how you want to sculpt something. Learning how to separate your colors and mixing them is also important. Keeping art supplies organized is also really helpful. Measurements for your picture are important too. And with time, you can see what colors look good together. And for me naturally I’m not the cleanest person and artwork has helped me a lot with organization.

After all, as you can see this topic is important in my life and I started out with stick figures and drawing hair as a straight line above heads. I thought I would never get good at art and I kept on drawing and watching videos about ways how to get better at drawing. Eventually I just got pretty good and I practice a lot to try to get better.   With a perspective, I’m Zach and you’re watching Disney Channel. :3
