Art classes are a great way to encourage and foster creativity in children. Regardless how old one may be, getting started on creating art – no matter the form – brings about many benefits, from boosting one's self esteem and reducing stress to stimulating the imagination and enhancing one's problem-solving skills and memory, among many others.
