TOP 5 REASONS ART IS ESSENTIAL:

1. Art is a STRESS-RELIEVER.

Life is stressful. After a full day of work, family, and city life, sitting down with art supplies, even just a pencil and paper, allows you to let go and forget about your stresses.

2. Art is a form of SELF-EXPRESSION.

Use art to express and share your emotions and thoughts. When you want to express yourself, art can be even more effective than words.

3. Art creates a feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Creating art gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Making something from start to finish provides fulfillment because you have done something new.

4. Art helps you THINK in DIFFERENT ways.

In ART CLASSES, you have a chance to be creative and think outside of the box- something which most people do not do in their daily lives.

5. Art makes you a HAPPIER PERSON.

Experts say there is a strong connection between creative expression and overall wellbeing. Getting into a state of creative flow produces substantial happiness… the kind that lasts.
