Art & Craft

"The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence."

- Dr Maria Montessori -

 

Art forms part of the Montessori program. It helps to perfect the movements of the hands, stimulate creativity in children and develops an appreciation of artistic values such as colour, patterns, texture and design. It expands children's ability to observe and helps them cultivate an eye for details.

 
Art is an integral part of every aspect of the curriculum. As the child enjoys exploring nature and things around him, art further stimulate the child to be more independent and self-reliant. It further enhance the aesthetic sense, the appreciation of things around him.

Children need to have appropriate tools and must be shown the techniques of using them. One important human characteristic is the use of our hands to create. Thus equipped with proper tools and techniques, the children feel happy, fulfilled and confident when they can use their hands to create.

 
Children's discover their ability to imagine and create through the sensorial experiences as they explore art with their senses.

As children explore, experiment and work with the different variety of media, they unconsciously develop confidence, sense of self satisfaction and pride.
