Creativity is making new connections and new synapses. Explaining art's effect on the brain is most impaction in children.

The neural pathways created while engaging in art better prepare the brain for learning new skills throughout life, and not just for their art skills, it helps math language and science too. Art is a platform for children to unleash their boundless creativity and imagination. Through art, kids can express themselves freely and explore different ideas, concepts, and perspectives. They can experiment with colors, shapes, and textures, and come up with unique creations that are truly their own. This process of creative thinking nurtures their imagination and helps them develop problem-solving skills that can be applied in various areas of life. When children create art, they develop a sense of ownership and pride in their creations. Displaying their artwork in the form of a drawing, painting, or sculpture can boost their self-confidence and sense of accomplishment. Art provides children with a safe space to express themselves without fear of judgment, which helps build their self-esteem and encourages them to take risks and try new things. Art can serve as a powerful tool for children to express their emotions and thoughts in a healthy and constructive way. Art can also be a means of connecting with peers and building friendships as children share their artwork and engage in discussions about their creative process.
