COMMUNITY NEWS
Nelmari further explains that the arts teach children innumerable lessons such as practice makes perfect , small differences can have large effects and collaboration leads to creativity .
Partaking in artistic expression can also encourage children to recognise that there are several paths to take when approaching problems and that all problems can have more than one solution . It also helps them to appreciate and understand different cultures and values of our very diverse society .
Nelmari is particularly passionate about promoting the benefits of art for children . She says that partaking in art can actually improve skills like learning , critical and creative thinking , focus and non-verbal communication as well as their ability to observe and describe and analyse and interpret .
