Art Club allows children to express themselves in a safe way by letting them explore different materials and colors. Art club is a platform to develop aesthetic values and enhance the creative skills and artistic talents of students. Students engage in open-ended play and develop attention span, problem-solving skills and other cognitive social-emotional skills such as turn taking and observation. Meaningful art experiences provide children with authentic self-expression – the freedom of choice, thought and feeling. Students also explore the arts as in music, drama and creative writing.

Music.
Listening to music and playing music has numerous emotional benefits. For the majority of my students, this was their first exposure to live classical music.
PhillyStreetViolins, now better known as Cinqcopation, literally took our breath away with an amazing, engaging performance.
