Stuffing, Sculpting and Squeezing

Description

‘Art does not solve problems, but makes us aware of their existence.’ Magdalena Abakanowicz (Sculptor)

This course introduces and develops ideas for non-art specialists in terms of working with 3D media such as clay, dough and other malleable materials that will support the development of the child within the primary phase. Research demonstrates that art education is closely linked to almost everything that we want for our children and demand from our communities. Enriching experiences in art help young children to foster perception and critical thinking, develop fine motor skills, and learn social and group skills. These are crucial to the child's intellectual and social development. A day full of inspirational and achievable ideas!
