Help develop attention, ability, and self-confidence. KidsArt teaches drawing so that students have the opportunity to learn fundamental skills. Students learn how to “see” in a new way. KidsArt teaches students how to measure with the eye, how to break something into its parts and put it back together again to make a whole picture. Students are shown that what may look difficult to draw at first glance, is really simple once they learn to see it piece by piece.
