All our learners are curious about the world around them. Painting lets us practice creative thinking, decision making and problem solving in a non-threatening environment. Painting provides lots of opportunities to learn – about colors, shapes, representing ideas, making marks, color mixing, cause and effect, experimenting, decision making and just having fun! Painting encourages open-ended creativity. Painting fosters creative growth and analytical left-brainers can stimulate and nurture their creative growth by painting. Practice and focus, two skills inherent in left-brain individuals, allow young artist to learn creative skills at their own pace. Painting also allows individuals a chance to express their feelings and emotions without words. It can be tough opening up sometimes, so painting is a great way to release inner thoughts. Individuals that paint use art to overcome shyness and convey their personality. Using artwork to tell a story lets someone who is shy let go of normal social reservations.
