Art & Craft In BVA

Arts and craft education at an early stage helps to develop a child’s imagination. It develops the child’s imagination and creativity. The best part is that it doesn’t require an expensive or fancy setting – just some crayons, paper, and a couple of bulletin boards can do the trick.

A blog addressed to parents and teachers on why integrating arts and crafts into the curriculum is essential.

Art and crafts are something we learn when we are young when we are children in school. Due to lack of attention and funding, it is always usually the first thing to be removed from the curriculum. But why is it not given any importance?

How to integrate arts and crafts in the curriculum ?

  • Art and Craft are increasingly becoming more and more popular among children. They are no longer just artistic activities; they are also considered to be a part of the school curriculum. This is a great way to bring out the creative side in your child.
  • This is a question that comes up quite often, and the answer is not always an easy one to answer. It’s a question that is considered with a lot of aspects to it that teachers need to take under consideration.
  • It’s a matter of finding the balance between all that. While we need to consider the importance of art and crafts in the curriculum, it also has to be considered how much time and how much it will take away from other important things such as science and math.

Why arts & crafts should come as a priority in every child's curriculum?

  • It’s no secret that to develop creativity and academic skills, children must be taught how to use their hands. There’s something about the way a child’s brain is wired that makes him or her more receptive to the educational possibilities of art.

  • There are a few reasons for the importance of arts and crafts in the curriculum. First of all, arts and crafts give children a chance to try different materials to see what they like. Art and craft materials allow children to try out different mediums and different ways to use them. 

  • Art and craft supplies can be a fabulous medium for children to develop their creative aptitude. Craft supplies can be the best way to get the whole family together to work on something.

  • A few other best things about arts & crafts are that you can make wonderful gifts. Every child should get the chance to explore and discover the arts. It’s fun and fascinating to let your imagination take shape through art and craft projects.

  • Arts and crafts are not just about drawing and painting. They are also about learning how to handle tools, learning how to follow instructions, and learning how to connect with others to create something like one. They can also be a way to socialize. Some parents think the children should remain children for a little longer. But if their child wants to participate in arts and crafts, a parent should consider this activity as the child’s natural way to learn.
