In relation to children, the creative arts are activities that engage a child's imagination and can include activities such as art, dance, drama, puppetry, and music. They stimulate and help children cultivate their abilities across virtually every domain, and they are open-ended activities, fostering flexibility of the mind.
And most important of all, the creative arts emphasize the process, teaching kids in a world that is progressively more and more product-driven that the method by which you arrive at the destination is as or more significant than the destination itself. |

Learn about some amazing inventions, discoveries and explorations in Arts:
When we think of paints, coloring pencils felt pens and neon markers come to mind and if we want to use one, we simply zip open our pencil case and take them out! Not so easily done 350,000 years ago when the very first people discovered the effects and possibilities of pigment in stone. It had to be ground out of the rock, made into a powder, then mixed with water. All that for a bit of face paint, phew!
We all love our fashionable comfortable, well-cut and sewn clothes, am I right? Thanks to hard working and most likely finger-sore from sewing upholstery by hand carpenter, Thomas Saint, we can today enjoy fashion, furnishings, interior accessories and much much more. Many have developed and refined it since to suit all materials, but he was first.
Many may claim to have developed the art of photography but, Catholic priest Johann Zahn, fascinated by light and imagery was the first one to truly think it through and develop it. His book "Oculus Artificialis" describes in great detail the use of lenses, peep boxes, magic lanterns and much much more, a whopping 150 years before they could ever be built...
Imagine a world in black and white? It is no wonder mankind, having already mastered the art of photography was seeking that next step of true image depiction and finally live life in full color. Scottish scientist and multiple inventor James Clerk Maxwell successfully invented a 3-color system to create color imagery on photographic paper.
The graphic world of intense, mind boggling imagery/logos/branding that we enjoy today, we have to thank none other than Paul Rand for. During his over 60-year long career as designer and creator of shapes, styles and symbols that we still see and use in graphics today, he set a very high standards for modern visual design.
Opera is a captivating and dramatic way of telling a story, often filled with heart-filled love, deep heartbreak, desperation, bitter betrayal, victory and exuberant joy. The emotions are played out in a both tender and strong fashion with beautifully created scenery and exquisite costumes , telling tales from across the entire world.
