You, Your Child
Art Important Part
Of Learning
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialist
Art is an important factor in
our culture and should be a part
of the total educational pro
gram. It has a cultural as well
as an academic value.
The school program provides
students with an opportunity to
think and work creatively at
their own level of ability and
understanding. They can use a
great variety of materials. They
should be allowed to develop
their own ideas by their own
staandards. Art is a visual
language that can be read and
understood by children.
A good art program is much
more than a check list of
activities to dc throughout the
classroom situation. It provides
the children with satisfying
experiences of emotional and
academic value. These exper
iences encourage creative work
and develop greater meaning in
the academic areas.
Let’s take a look at a typical
lower grade lesson. The
students are using cloth scraps,
yarn, assorted papers, paste,
and scissors to develop a
picture of winter games. This
project grew out of a study of
weather. The class was studying
clouds, temperature, and the
formation of snow. The snow
was used to develop interest in
the picture which was called
“warm clothes for winter
snow.”
A unit of this nature is an
excellent example of a total
program. The basic subject
involved was science. Arithme
tic was involved with the
temperature. Language, arts
and reading were Involved in
research. The art project was
used to give meaning to what
had been learned. The students,
in using the art materials, were
developing motor skills (cut
ting), color sense, etc. This
Inclusion of many subjects ls
called correlation.
This type of program leads to
a real appreciation of art. The
children begin to realize that
through art they can express
themselves. They begin to
recognize that art can bring
feeling and interest to their
regular activities.
An understanding of the alms
and methods of the school art
cirriculum is importaant to you
as parents. Your youngsters
activities at home can lead
smoothly into the school’s
program. Supply your child with
a variety of materials so that
he can learn to use them
without fear.
