Mental wellbeing in the community
Art is a wonderful tool for improving mental wellbeing. All of my art classes have an element of wellness, promoting a calm, nurturing and positive environment for both children and adults alike. There are other wonderful organisations that provide confidence-building and teamwork, and are a great outlet to improve mental health. This page lets people in the West London community find other positive activity club providers - jump down to read more.
The importance of art
I teach through the great masters of art, venturing from classical forms to impressionism and pop art. Children learn art history each week by focusing on a new artist, and they create their own masterpieces inspired by iconic work.
​
The classes are varied, giving kids access to different materials and techniques. I give positive feedback which encourages the chidlren to be confident and proud of their finished works of art.
​
Art can help in all areas of learning and development, and it’s evident in Art With Little Pics classes where I see:
-
Concentration
-
Problem solving
-
Spatial reasoning
-
Fine motor skills
-
Observation skills
-
Confidence
-
Creative thinking
-
Mindfulness
-
Self expression
