“Art is important in the development of our children. By participating in the Barn Studio of Arts, our children create and talk about their art.”

In our program, many of our children have little or no exposure to art.

Art is important in the development of our children. By participating in the Barn Studio of Arts, our children create and talk about their art. They practice and gain fine muscle control and strengthen their eye-hand motor coordination. Children develop perceptual abilities. They develop awareness of colors, shapes, forms, lines, and textures as they try to replicate them through art.

Through art, culture is transmitted. Children have an opportunity to be creative and their art is open ended. They are able to feel successful and express themselves however they want through art.
