The Art Remedy Philosophy
Throughout the ages of 5-11, our children are developing unconscious skills and belief systems about their capabilities and competency. During this stage of life, they are developing their self-concept, and asking “what am I capable of and can I do it?”.
We can help children develop their self-confidence and competency during this stage by providing them with opportunities to acquire new skills and master increasingly complex tasks. Art is a beautiful tool we can use to facilitate healthy child development, and instil the belief ‘I can do it’ using fun and exciting ways for your child to express their creativity and emotions. Pottery teaches children that they have an ability to exert influence over their lives. Whilst they may not be in charge of much at this stage of life, with clay, they are the creator and commander, and this process empowers them to know they are competent and capable of making change.
