Art can Influence Learning Ability

Art encourages cognition, critical thinking, and learning.

I experience daily that the current education system places great emphasis on academic development

and as a result, arts programs are being reduced or even eliminated from classrooms

And if the Educators would have received proper education they would have

recognized that the art is not enrichment activity instead the art is and should be basic to education.

Studies have shown that arts teaching and learning can increase student's cognitive and social

development. The arts was and is a critical link for students in developing the crucial thinking skills

and especially in Mathematics.

Art engages children's senses in open-ended play and develops Cognitive, Social, Emotional and

Sensori-Motor skills.

Through art, children learn complex thinking skills and master developmental tasks

Art activities provide children with sensory learning experiences they can master at their own rate.


Art is an outstanding tool for teaching not only developmental skills, but also academic subjects such as

math, science, and literacy.


Art can be looked at through the lens of mathematics.

Children can start learning with beads to introduce numbers, positive and

negative space, classification, and sequencing and pattern recognition.

Educators in Schools have forgotten that Math is not just about numbers, formulas and logic,

math is also about structure, symmetry, shape and beauty.

Conversely, art is also not only about emotion, color and aesthetics, but also about rhythm, patterns and

problem solving.

Mathematics and art have a long historical relationship. T

he ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks knew about the golden ratio, regarded as an aesthetically pleasing

ratio, and incorporated it into the design of monuments including the Great Pyramid, the Parthenon and

the Colosseum.

There are many examples of artists who have been inspired by mathematics and studied mathematics

as a means of complementing their works.


Never forget what Confucius once said: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember; I do and I understand."

And here we go ... Thru Art the children can learn the most difficult formals
