Art and Wellness Class For Children (Grade 5-7)
Your Child MUST learn Art!
Your child is not getting to experience the innovation, creative thinking or freedom of expression that art allows while they are in Primary School. Art in Primary School is often a very light hearted, craft based creative time - that does not really achieve what it is supposed to as a subject. This is often due to short class times, overcrowded classes and a very restrictive syllabus.

Whilst Primary School art often produces children who love to paint and draw it often also produces children who hate it because they feel incapable. School also promotes comparison and competition with other learners – especially when work is given a grade or your work is not good enough to go up at an exhibition.
Many of the projects done in school require colouring in, copying and tracing. These do not teach your child anything valuable - they are done so that the whole classes result is similar and presentable. This takes the fun of innovative and freedom of expression away from your child. It often also creates an incorrect perception between parents and learners that art is an insignificant, pointless subject.
