Feed your childrens’ minds with art

Posted on October 25, 2010

TAMPA – The importance of art for children is backed by national studies that show early exposure to art promotes activity in the brain — which allows children to understand a wide array of subjects.

Though Laura McElroy is the Public Information Officer for the Tampa Police Department, she believes her most important job is being a mother to her 3-year-old daughter, Morgan.

When it comes to molding Morgan’s success, a tool that McElroy considers valuable is art — everything from paint to clay.

“I was putting a paintbrush in her hand as soon as she could sit up because I really want her to express her self creatively,” McElroy said.

Everyone Loves MTM!

I am always amazed when I see a child who does not think they are an artist, create a piece of art that puts a smile on their face. It is so important to help all the students explore their creative sides.

Thinking creatively will help our children in their future careers, to problem solve and be innovative, no matter what that career may be.

Meet the Masters is a wonderful program that exposes the children to so many amazing mediums and artistic styles. The step by step instruction creates a comfortable environment for all children to excel and explore their creative side.
