How Art Develops Multiple Intelligence in Children

LESSON OVERVIEW

Do you know that multiple intelligence and the arts are very critical in children’s development? As children participate in the arts, they learn important 21st century skills that are critical for their success in the years ahead of them. Many of these skills may not be explicitly taught in schools but are critical to ensure that our children are future ready.

Sharon is an educator at heart. She had taught in the preschool, primary and secondary schools before she moved to develop multimedia and e-learning resources for students of all ages. She was the principal of Barker Road Methodist Church Kindergarten and had worked with students to put seemingly unconnected things together – doing art and learning science, mathematics and technology concepts all at the same time. She is a firm believer that a good curriculum can go a long way to develop students wholistically and equipping them with critical 21st century skills.
