Introduction by Robyn https://youtu.be/weLTyCBe9Ec
“The visual arts are a powerful, unlimited set of mediums in which to play. As children learn to manipulate art materials and develop motor skills to create a visual construct, their brain is developing all sorts of emotional and cognitive neural networks. In short, art making is good for the brain and the health and wellbeing of children and youth.”
