The Artistic Side Why It's Important to Kids


Drawing, music, paintings and theater arts are some of the summer camp activities that may not be offered in schools. Some ‘modern schools' have shifted their attention more to teaching the core subjects and forgetting that kids also need to learn how to create visual aesthetics as part of their development. Due to this understanding, kids summer camps have come up with summer activities to help your child learn new things while interacting and having fun with others.

Listed are some reasons as to why you should encourage your kids to learn arts:  

  •  Develop abilities useful in the future

Children who are engaged in art activities at a tender age have a higher probability of success later in life compared to those who are not. This is according to research carried out at Michigan University. The exposure to arts and all other summer camp activities enables kids to have a diverse mind. Later in life they become inventive, quickly learn to identify gaps in the market and startup companies or even grow their talents in drawing, singing or theater to hopefully become legends. Arts allow kids to become sharp in their thinking since much of what they make has to be well thought out in the first place.

  • Allows children to make sense of the environment around them

The human brain is made up of two parts i.e. the left and right hemispheres. Psychologically, the two parts have different functions. The left part is used in logistics and analysis. This is the part of the brain that is used in class when learning Science, English, Maths and other subjects. The right side of the brain plays a crucial role in creative thinking. When a child is drawing, this is the part of the brain that enables him/her to see the picture even before putting it down on paper. It is the part that triggers one's thinking of what goes on in the environment; the physical, spiritual and moral aspects of life.

  • Strengthen bonds between parents and children
The time you spend with your child apart from taking him/her to a kids summer camp is crucial. It may make a big difference in your child's life as the more time you spend with your child, the closer and dearer they become to you. You can learn more about them and therefore, help them solve their problems effectively.

  • Better performance in academics
Children who engage in art activities outside class are more successful in learning than those who don't participate in such activities.Kids who are exposed to arts are more creative and imaginative. They are great thinkers and problem solvers and are more focused and determined to get things done so they perform very well in school.

  • Arts help boost confidence
Performing arts help children develop confidence when talking with friends or even adults. In kids summer camps, children perform in plays, music and operas in front of an audience of their peers. With time, this helps to break the fear that is associated with a crowd.

In arts, it's all about acquiring skills that are vital for personality development. Zodiac Day Camps make sure that kids will be able to enhance their creativity and harness their artistic side throughout their summer day camp journey.
