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.

Working as a volunteer with the Meet the Masters program at my son’s school this past year has been such a great experience. I believe art programs help children build confidence and instill a sense of wonder and curiosity that helps foster creativity. Meet the Masters is so wonderful because it gives young children a taste of art fundamentals while teaching them about the many styles and techniques of artists from around the world and from different time periods. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing each child in my son’s first grade class create their own unique masterpiece!
