examples and a not exhaustive overview

In Art Club children are encouraged to explore and nourish their creativity and imagination, which are vital for their cognitive and emotional development.

Experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, printing, modelling, weaving and 3D creations, children express their ideas and emotions creating their unique and original artworks.

In line with Ecolint “child-centered “ pedagogical approach, Art is also a means to educate students more broadly, for example developing their self confidence, the sense of community, the respect for people and nature.

Projects help children improve their fine motor skills, a fundamental aspect of a child’s development, as it plays a pivotal role in their ability to perform everyday tasks and to write.
