Your kids need less screen time. Here’s why.

Posted on 11 Feb at 9:00 am

Screens are everywhere… in the classroom, at home, and in the pocket.

And sure, technology has its place… but there’s a problem.

Kids are watching more than they’re doing.

And research keeps showing us that too much screen time leads to shorter attention spans, less social interaction, and fewer creative opportunities.

Which is not great.

But hands-on learning is different.

After exploring Picasso’s cubism, MTM students use “chalk staining” to create their own abstract masterpiece.

When kids paint, sculpt, and draw, they’re building skills screens can’t teach:

  • Fine motor control and coordination
  • Better focus and memory
  • Real creativity, confidence, and problem-solving

Art gives kids what they need: real-world, hands-on experience.

And with Meet the Masters, students don’t just watch…. they create:

  • They explore their imagination. 
  • They study master artists and techniques. 
  • They build social and emotional skills by sharing ideas.

One masterpiece at a time, they’re learning in ways that stick.

Balance matters, and art provides it.

Are you ready to bring more hands-on learning to your classroom?

Everyone Loves MTM!

I love MTM because it provides our kids with otherwise unavailable or limited art exposure. It gives them a chance to create and be inspired by amazing artists from different times in history, as well as within different mediums. Being a coordinator for MTM allows me the privilege of providing inspiration and creativity to kids just starting out on their educational journey- they never cease to amaze me with what they are able to express!
