Summer Camp and Art

Kids love art! Whether they are getting messy with finger paints, drawing with sidewalk chalk, making a collage, or coloring in their coloring book, there’s nothing that makes children happier than creating their own art. The benefits of art for kids go way beyond fun. Studies have shown that the process of creating art actually helps support young children in almost all areas of their development!

Drawing

Few activities come as naturally to young children as drawing. Whether your child’s medium is chalk on a sidewalk or crayons on printer paper, he or she likely enjoys the act of creating art. Along with other forms of expression like dance and storytelling, drawing has numerous developmental benefits. Drawing is one of the most important activities you and your students can do. Drawing not only provides the basis for other creative activities – like painting, sculpture, and printmaking – but it also provides a direct link with reading, writing, and especially mathematics.
