Why art?

Art helps with child’s emotional and psychological development.

It enhances the sense of creativity and independence in a child and has a lot of positive effects on a child’s character and personality.

Physical benefits:

Develops fine motor skills: connecting dots, colouring within the line and drawing shapes boost your child’s fine motor skills. These skills help learning how to write easier and come in handy in child’s everyday life.

Improves hand-eye coordination: Engaging in arts-related activities from a very young age leads to tremendous improvement in the hand-eye coordination. This will help a child during the later primary-school years when she/he is forming letters or spacing out words.

Social/emotional benefits:

Increases emotional self-regulation: Art serves as a way for children to communicate their feelings. This in turn gives children a tool to use to regulate their emotions. Some children even turn to art as an escape or a way to handle stress.

Helps in socialising: Being together with other children in an art class gives a child the opportunity to interact and socialise with those sharing similar interests.

Boosts self-esteem: Arts-related activities instil a sense of pride and achievement in a child, which helps in boosting his/hers self-esteem.

Cognitive benefits:

Enhances innovation and creative ability: The opportunity to create encourages innovation. And the ability to think and solve problems she/he might face while making something enhances creativity.

Sharpens decision-making skills: Facing and solving artistic challenges leads toward development of child’s problem-solving attitude, which will also help in other endeavours of life.

Raises visual-learning and memory: Through art, a child is able to make decisions based on what he/she sees or remembers, and for example, is able to decide if a certain object fits appropriately into hers/his work of art, whether in terms of design or space.

 

The course can be attended in a regular setting or an intensive one. We are offering courses throughout the school year.

4. Meaning of Montessori principles of education we follow

Montessori education assists the child’s natural development into a complete human being comfortable with himself/herself, hers/his society and humanity as a whole.

A prepared environment at MFAS provides a secure and permanent foundation on which artistic education should be based. It is specific to each developmental plane but guided by the same principles. 

Within our society we are in constant interaction with people who are older or younger. Since  children need different environments at different stages in their development, art classes at MFAS are age mixed. That way the young child is surrounded by role models. Similarly, the older child finds himself/herself in a position of responsibility which leads toward cooperation within group.

Each child is given freedom of choice and freedom of time which allow the child the freedom to respond to the teacher within her/him. 

When children are allowed freedom in an environment suited to their needs, engaged into activities of their own choice they grow inner discipline and develop their own will.

5. Use of classical drawing practices

At MFAS we use classical drawing practices as a tool for hand-eye coordination enhancement which directly leads toward improvement of cognitive skills (perception, attention, focus enhancement, memory stimulation, visual processing, executive functions), self-confidence boost and creative development.
