Habilidades de pensamiento crítico utilizando el arte

Critical Thinking with Art is designed to focus on creativity, communication, open-mindedness, problem solving and analytical thinking.  Creativity will be sparked by your child's imagination seen in their drawing and painting. Puppet making and storytelling will encourage communication while open-mindedness will be engaged from comparing and identifying living and non-living things.  Pattern making and memory games will help with problem solving skills. Sorting and categorizing will encourage analytical thinking.  My eclectic teaching style will pool together song, stories, and hands-on art project for your child's individual talents.
