This term, St Mary's will offer art workshops as a means of promoting wellbeing. The children will be encouraged to discover their creativity, in a fun and collaborative way, thus increasing good mental health.
The art classes, with artist Stephanie, will offer the children opportunities to learn new skills and the children will benefit greatly both cognitively and emotionally from experiencing art, first hand. Making art boosts a child’s self-esteem by giving them the chance to express what they think and how they feel. The children will also learn to work with others and their creative thinking skills will be fostered during their art sessions.
The children in P5, P6 and P7 really enjoyed their art workshops with Stephanie on Wednesday!
Please see the photos below.
The children in P1- P4 loved having Stephanie back on Friday and the school's collaborative art project is starting to take shape. We can't wait to see the finished masterpiece! So much creativity in St. Mary's!
