How Learning to Paint Benefits Children
Painting allows children to express their creativity and have fun. Developing a skill like painting provides the stimulus children need to be successful in all aspects of life. Let’s see how learning to paint can benefit your child!
Foster creativity
Children who paint learn to think with an open mind, to look at situations creatively. They learn to express themselves more deeply through their art and their words. They’re able to take the lessons learned through painting and apply those skills to new situations. They develop critical-thinking skills and must make decisions about what works and what doesn’t on their own.
Fun & More Fun
Splashing paint on a canvas is fun. It’s a pastime child can take part in that’s both constructive and enjoyable. And when someone sees their artwork, they’ll gain immeasurable joy from seeing people’s reactions.
Self esteem
By learning to paint, children gain a skill which they can be proud of. It gives them a foundation to look at the world with the confidence they can accomplish a goal. The response they get from others in regard to their work can boost their self-confidence. Because there is no right way in the arts, children who paint can be proud to be unique and to express their artistic style.
​
Children need to work with other children and adults while they’re learning to paint. This interaction will boost their confidence, and also give them social skills to help them in other aspects of life.

​
Painting provides a sanctuary for children. When they’re stressed, they can turn to painting to lose themselves in the brush strokes. The act of creating provides a soothing place for them to turn to, and the feeling of accomplishment from completing a project can help replace negative feelings about other things. It can act as a type of therapy, helping bring out their feelings through painting.
​
Developmental benefits
Creative activities, like painting, help the brain develop. The right side of the brain is used for emotional and creative responses, while the left side of the brain focuses on analytical processes and logic. Learning to paint benefits children by using both sides of their brain. By stimulating the creative side of the brain, painting helps make the connection between the two sides, which is how we reach our full potential.
​
Art appreciation
Children who are involved in painting gain a lifelong appreciation of art. By teaching children this skill, you’re also opening them up to an entire world of artistic expression. Their intimate involvement with the act of creation gives them a closer connection to pieces of work, such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
​
Expressing themselves through painting allows children to take part in an activity that is fun and fulfilling. It will help develop a stronger brain, give them critical-thinking skills, make them more creative, and provide a daily refuge they can turn to for stress relief.
