Children learn essential skills through the arts that aid in their development and self-expression. They observe and record their thoughts, organize ideas, and express feelings, fostering a sense of purpose and focus. Arts education encourages problem-solving through trial and error, instills self-respect, and enhances communication skills. Children appreciate diverse perspectives and cultural contributions while discovering their own viewpoints. Furthermore, they engage creatively with various media, valuing originality and the process of creating alongside the final product.
