Learning about art enables children to create their versions of the past,
and present, and even helps them visualise what they want their future
to be. This kind of learning and understanding becomes even more
effective when parents engage actively with children through
discussion and analysis.
Observing, reflecting and questioning art, helps children discard
preconceptions and prejudices. Most importantly, it helps parents to
reinforce the message that there is not just one way to make art. In
fact, there is no limit to how you can express inner emotions, feelings
and desires – the only limitation is imagination, and a child’s
capabilities in that area are limitless!

Seeing things for what they are:
The mind usually tends to see what it wants to see. The earlier children
learn about this flaw in observation the better it is. Art encourages
children to look more closely and observe visual cues and interpret
symbols. Helps take a more mindful approach to life.
Once children begin to learn to visualise through careful observation
and then to imagine, they learn the ability to apply this to other areas of
learning. For instance, developing faster reading skills, as children who
can visualise what they are reading, learn to remember what is
relevant and important.

Learning to feed curiosity
Being able to ask open-ended questions, enables children to reflect on
their emotional responses to what they see and experience. This
encourages children to dive deeper, consider different points of view,
as well as help nurture confidence in their likes and dislikes.
Art nurtures reflection in children, and as it is directly linked to
emotions, it can be used to prompt discussions about why people
make art, and why art is useful.

Developing the ability to analyse
Looking at things and at artworks, in particular, makes it easier for
children to interpret motivations helping children understand how visual
images can be shaped by the context that which they are set in.
This helps even young children to understand and make the right
responses to the images they see around them, whether in print, on
social media or TV.
They begin to see more in-depth. Think deeply about colour,
composition, and scale, engage in discussions not only about the
artwork but also develop a perspective about science, history, society
and for that matter have an opinion on any other subject.

Finding their voice
Talking about art encourages children to be open and to express
themselves freely. They pick up new words about art and gain fluency
in expressing themselves more articulately.
An increase in word power enables children to translate everything
around them into words quickly and easily. It also gives them the ability
to talk about their emotions and feelings.
Open-ended questions will prompt a child to be more specific. It also
helps children make a better connection between words.

Discussing at a higher level
Talking about art and things is a good way to teach children the
importance of listening to others’ points of view. Negotiation puts you in
a position to contribute to your understanding. This is a difficult but
important skill to learn.
An opportunity to interact freely is an opportunity to invest in quality
family time, as parents and children purposefully discuss an artwork
that is right in front of them. It helps children interact with other
children, learn to work collaboratively, and use the power of words to
express clearly to others, what they see, how they feel, and why.
