Why are arts and crafts so important?
At Leading Futures, embedded within our curriculum is a regular focus on arts and crafts, offering a unique element to our alternative provision.
These creative activities provide learners with valuable mindfulness opportunities that support emotional regulation. We firmly believe that incorporating moments of creativity throughout the day helps learners relax, reduces anxiety, and offers a welcome break from any personal pressures they may be facing. Through the process of creating art, learners experience a sense of accomplishment, build confidence, and have opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth. Art projects also play a key role in boosting self-esteem and promoting overall well-being.
Engaging in art activities not only inspires learners but also encourages them to think critically and creatively. These tasks support the development of physical skills, including fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
