Ositos’s
parents,
Last week we
had a great time talking about music, this week we will continue working with
the arts, but this time our focus will be all the visual arts like sculptures
and paintings.
We strongly
believe that art should be taught in the classroom because it deals a lot with
how each child develops abstract thinking skills. The visual arts combine
abstract concepts and concrete materials in order to create, using convergent,
divergent, evaluative, and visual thinking skills. The art provides the foundation
for visual perception, which is the ability to recognize and understand images,
whether it be found in works of fine art, blueprints, safety symbols or words. Being able to distinguish what letter is what
and what symbols mean what has a lot to do with using our visual perception an
in order to develop our visual perception we need to make, study and practice the
art.
