We list kids' programs from across the country. Use OurKids.net's advanced search to find arts classes and lessons for kids in your city or region, including the following selections:
Kids who love the arts can explore this in a variety of ways. See the variety of year-round options below:
Kids discover themselves. Creating art is often a collaborative process. However, artists discover a personal approach to art. In art classes, kids discover their own approach to artistry and develop a deeper connection with the self. They learn how they can thrive as an art pupil, and what they are drawn to create.
Nurtures a child’s confidence. Artistic expression is more interpretive than methodological subjects like math or science. This can make presenting personal work intimidating but also rewarding. In an art class, students receive praise and encouragement as they share their work. This helps them build confidence both in their creativity, but also in the bigger world.
Encourages imagination. As Walt Disney said, “Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination”. Arts after-school programs and lessons encourage kids to actively exercise their imagination and bring ideas to fruition.
Connection with the five senses. All artistic forms employ the five senses: sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing. Art programs encourage students to connect with these senses as they create. Kids will learn to apply their observations to their craft. In engaging all five senses, kids become more attentive to their surroundings and they grow to recognize and appreciate everyday beauty.
Looks towards the future. Arts programs can inspire your child to find their own voice and discover their calling. For some who choose a technical career path, for example, exposure to arts can help them incorporate creativity into that pursuit.
Arts classes offer a broad range of curriculum that may include everything from drawing to dance to drama, just to name a few examples. All arts classes teach the following soft skills:
Flexible thinking. Flexibility means “being able to quickly adapt to new circumstances as they arise.” Creating or working with art is an experimental journey. There are risks. All arts classes give space for children to creatively adapt to situations, individually or in collaboration with instructors and others. They learn to improvise, compromise, and creatively solve problems.
Storytelling. Visual art, performing arts, media, and design all tell stories. In any arts format, kids have some form of authorship. They will come to understand basic aspects of narration such as character arcs and conflict. In all cases, they learn the value of imagination, experimentation, and open-mindedness when creating a story. They learn to tell their own stories better.
Self-reflection and awareness. In many arts classes, students will be asked to analyze their work and that of others. They examine both their strengths and weaknesses and learn how to handle feedback from instructors and peers. Through this, they acquire a self-reflective system in which they learn to deal with both success and failure. They also learn to set goals and avoid some future errors. They grow toward healthy self-awareness.
Empathy. Susan Sarandon said, “Develop your powers of empathy and imagination, and the whole world opens up to you.” Empathy is the cornerstone of creating art that captivates others. Relating to an audience and, more broadly, with the world is what arts programs encourage kids to practice. They’re given the opportunity to embed observations of people into their creations. This has implications for other areas of life, as they learn about emotional connection, which can develop into deeper personal authenticity and generosity.
