Role of Art Clubs in Student Life

 An art club allows students to freely express their feelings while creating from their imagination and experimenting with new ideas. As students have unique ideas and powerful imaginations; art clubs can allow students to work through their artistic expression on their own terms, and without any boundaries. As students are free to make mistakes, they get an opportunity to explore their interests and skills.

Here are few ways art clubs can help kids learn and develop invaluable characteristics in life:

  • Creativity: Art clubs offer a way of improving creativity skills because they allow students to express themselves freely. Visual arts help promote creativity and divergent thinking skills of students as they explore different ways to express themselves. When students practice creative thinking regularly, it starts flowing naturally in their thought process.
  • Improved Academic Performance: Students, who are part of an art club, can be involved in a number of projects during an academic year. This helps them develop different skills such as research a specific topic, project design, implementation, and time management. These skills are also applicable to academic and professional experiences. 
  • Confidence: When students participate in an art club, they get to watch materials being converted into visual stories in the form of art. The experience of watching themselves grow, improve and progress in the field of art can instill self-confidence in the students.
  • Visual Learning: Drawing, painting and sculpting in an art club helps in developing visual-spatial skills among students. These skills will allow them to interpret, criticize and use visual information in unique ways.  
  • Decision Making: In an art club, a student is responsible for making his own decisions in terms of choice of materials, colors, expression, etc. This can strengthen decision making capabilities which are carried over into academic and other spheres of student life.
  • Perseverance: Practicing artistic creativity can help students to distill large ideas into concise forms. The process requires hard work and regular practice to develop those skills. As they continue their progress towards more difficult projects, they learn the importance of continued efforts for achieving accuracy in the projects. This leads to development of perseverance in students.
