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.

A lot of the kids who take art classes have no particular talent for it. They often have to be convinced that participating in an art class will be fun. If kids give the class a chance, they pretty quickly come to the realization that this is one place where they can't fail. Each drawing is specific to them and is perfect in its own right. Kids are free to express themselves, problem solve, and think creatively. To do this they will need both sides of their brains.

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, in every form, helps kids succeed in school. It has the ability to promote brain flexibility, increase IQ and fluid intelligence, and improve attention spans. Music in particular improves math, reading, and language performance. Art and music are disciplines that discourage negative impulses and bad behavior. Engaging in the arts increases 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 reduces stress for healthy kids too. It distracts the brain and allows it a chance to relax. Art can create a zone of concentration, as anyone who has become immersed in a painting or drawing can attest to. This is one of the ways art and meditation are similar.

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.

You don't want your kids sitting on the sofa all summer wrapped up in video games, social media, and texting friends. Enrolling them in a camp can be a good idea. You might see a big difference in your child when art opens unexpected doors for him.
