Most of us don't think of this question much often. But give it a moment of thought. Let's turn the wheel of time and go back to when we are still a toddler, can you remember the joy that sparks from completing an artwork. The proudness that you feel when you are encouraged by mom or dad?
Art brings us joy. But is that just it? Bare with me and let's explore what Art can do for us. When we sit in front of a blank canvas. The first thing we do is to envision what we are going to draw. We visualize different scenario, characters, colours that we are going to use, etc. |

We call this IMAGINATION.
and this is the most precious skill we can help children to develop
Without Imagination, do you think Thomas Edison can visualize the power grid? How about the Wright Brothers? Do you think they can imagine themself flying in the sky?
With Imagination, we can visualize things that are yet to happen. And because we can imagine it, we have the inner drive and motivation to make it happen. w
That is why Imagination is essential. Learning Art is the best way to exercise that "imagination spring" in our mind.
