My 6 year old girl is constantly drawing pictures and doing crafty projects of her own invention like everyday. Many friends suggested me to start sending her to art classes after seeing her projects. They thought her drawings are not ordinary at this age and could have a future in the arts. I am not a parent who has high hope that my kids would be outstanding or even superstars upon seeing any trace of talents in their activities. Therefore I ignored their suggestion as I think she doesn?t really need art class at this age. Until today I read another mom?s article about hoping her children to be just mediocre and that changed my perspective. Anyway my question is to all of you who know a good art class or teacher for kids in Irvine or South OC to give me some directions.
About the necessity of art classes, I am still debating but the thoughts now are though I do not need to hope she becomes a great artist but I should still support her to get more pleasure from the things that she does well, as long as it stays within the limitation of our budget. . I figured if she learns more techniques or ways to create arts possibly she is gonna enjoy even more from the creative activities and extend it as one of the life long interests. The other side of thinking is that I?ve spent a lot on piano and swimming lesions and that already keep her very busy. With our limited budget maybe we will support her art class later when she is more mature. Your thoughts? Are your little ones taking art classes?
