Learning to draw and paint gives a child a wonderful feeling of accomplishment that helps build their confidence in so many ways. Not only are they gaining the satisfaction of creating a tangible object of beauty to share with the whole family, but they are learning valuable skill sets that will help them learn in many other academic areas.

Painting helps a child learn to:

• Focus on details.
• Work patiently on a project over time to bring it to a successful completion.
• Approach a complex task by breaking it down into a series of simple steps.
