Research shows that learning art skills can balance your child's learning and helps to build their creative thinking. With creative thinking, kids tend to do better in math, reading, science and general problem solving. Creative children have a more well rounded view of the world, they are not afraid to be expressive, and their self-esteem is strengthened through their artistic accomplishments.
