Austin Summer Drawing Classes Benefits Kids In All Kinds Of Ways

By Elizabeth Ellis


Well before the end of the school year most parents are planning summer activities for their kids. They know it won't take long before children start complaining they don't have anything to do. You may not be able to organize every day of their vacation, but you can enroll them in some camps that are actually affordable. In addition to fun, Austin summer drawing classes, for example, have long term positive benefits.

Taking an art class might not be the first thing you think about for your child, and your child might initially resist the idea. Even if your youngster has not shown much artistic talent, he will still enjoy putting his thoughts and ideas on paper. He will quickly learn that you can't fail at art. There aren't right and wrong answers, but art does require creative thinking and problem solving skills. Kids have to use their whole brains to develop these skills.

Talented instructors understand how to use art to instill self-esteem in youngsters. Studies have shown that creative expression increases dopamine inside the brain. Releasing it is a motivator. It helps kids stay focused when they are involved in an art project. It's easier for them to push out the distractions that can disrupt and prevent them from achieving a particular goal. As a parent, you can reinforce your child's developing self-esteem by showing interest in whatever piece of artwork he brings home and putting it in a place of prominence for all the family to enjoy.

Art has academic benefits for the kids who get involved in it. It increases attention spans, improves IQ and fluid intelligence, and develops brain flexibility. Music is another art form that improves academic performance. Studies have shown significant improvement in math, language and reading. Both art forms increase blood flow to the brain.

A lot of people don't realize what a boost to better health art can be. Art therapy is extremely effective for kids who have chronic and debilitating illnesses. Expressing themselves verbally isn't always easy. Painting pictures to explain their feelings gives adults a sense of how the child is dealing with his particular situation. Completing an art project gives him a sense of accomplishment.

Art is a stress reducer for healthy kids as well. Creating art serves as a distraction for your brain, and that gives it a chance to relax. Anyone who has immersed themselves in an art project understands the feeling of being in a special zone of concentration. Meditation works the same way.

There are special camps devoted to disabled and troubled kids. Art class is a big part of these camps. Most employ professional therapists who use painting, drawing, and sculpting to interact with kids suffering from physical, mental, and emotional crises. Children with learning disabilities are helped by working on art projects.

Even though they aren't in school, summer should be a time for learning and growing. That's not going to happen if you allow your kids to sit on the couch and text, play video games, and chat on social media. Finding a good camp, and encouraging your child to attend and participate is a much better option.
