Why the Art Smart Club is Effective
It is fun. Catchy lyrics, funny characters, and fun music make learning exciting, and workbooks and hands-on craft projects let students practice what they've learned.
It is for everyone. The list of participants could go on forever: teachers, leaders, older students, younger students, mentors, volunteers, seniors, therapists, and more.
It is a community. People will love belonging to an Art Smart Club where they can get together and have fun making art.
It is flexible. The Art Smart Club program can be expanded from a class period to a year's worth of activities.
It is teachable. We make it easy for non-art teachers to lead an Art Smart Club by providing resources and even workshops for extended learning.
It is wide-ranging. The program seamlessly transitions from subject to subject: The Art Smart Club program covers many different topics in a comprehensive manner.
It is valuable. The lessons learned from the Art Smart Club are about more than making crafts and learning new vocabulary. The program teaches expression and thinking skills that will last a lifetime.
It is adaptable. This program can be used in a variety of learning environments. Classrooms, homes, after-school programs, group homes, retirement communities, child care centers, therapy programs, camps, outreach programs, home schools, art classes, recreation centers, youth organizations... the list goes on and on!
