Creating, Not Clicking: The Value of Hands-On Learning

Posted on Today at 9:00 am

Technology and screens are everywhere — at home, in the classroom, and in our free time. It can be a great tool to support learning when used thoughtfully.

But research continues to show that hands-on learning is essential for child development.

Hands-on curriculum engages students in active participation, rather than passive watching. 

That’s why programs like Meet the Masters are essential to growth and development.

Movements like painting, sculpting, and drawing strengthens skills that screens can’t like:

  • Fine motor and coordination skills
  • Improved focus and memory retention 
  • Increased creativity, confidence, and problem solving skills

And the impact of less screen time is remarkable.

Excessive screen time has been linked to shortened attention spans, reduced social interaction, and fewer opportunities for creativity.

So the key is balance.

In order to thrive, children need real world, hands-on experience. And art provides that balance.

Meet the Masters provides a well rounded approach: 

  • Students explore their imagination, building confidence and self-expression
  • Students study master artists and history, learning techniques and cultural context
  • Students practice social and emotional skills by sharing ideas and collaborating

So if you’re looking for an engaging, screen-free way to enrich your child’s education — Meet the Masters brings learning to life.

Explore our curriculum at meetthemasters.com and see how hands-on art can make a lasting impact, one masterpiece at a time.

Warm regards,

Meet the Masters

The art from this program (that my son participated in) decorated my walls for years. Great stuff! Looking forward to doing it with my grandchildren.
