Why are art classes a good idea? Art can help kids develop their creativity, fine motor skills, problem solving ability and communication skills. Art can foster existing skills and teach new ones. It also helps kids learn to focus and persevere. And last but not least, art classes can keep kids engaged, inspired and busy during these pandemic winter months.
