The arts nurture the imagination and creative spirit of all children. Sensory awareness is the foundation for all imaginative activity and creative expression. For young children; the importance of the arts is in the process of creating rather than the end result. In this interactive session; participants will actively explore the arts and how it connects to all areas of learning and how they are fundamental to children’s development and education. Through hands-on activities; participants will gain practical ideas that will allow children to develop independence; self-esteem; and self-expression through the arts process which in turn will allow children to discover more about who they are and gain insight into their own culture and the cultures around them.
