Importance of Art Galleries in School

Art galleries have been in decline across the world. We're not sure the reason why. However, these days many top schools in Mira Bhayandar and other parts of Mumbai are taking the effort to introduce art galleries for students.

Here are a few reasons why the schools feel the need of art galleries:

Boost Creativity 
Nothing boosts personal creativity more than art galleries.  It unleashes the creative juices and makes a person more intellectual.  Moreover, it encourages thinking, research, opinion forming and clear communication. So when students visit art galleries, it inspires them to become more artistic and inventive in life.

Offers Meditation
Art is a form of meditation. It clears a person’s mind and often restores this great sense of calm and wholeness. The environment in the art gallery is so soothing that it gives away creative ideas and solutions for various issues in life. For the most part, it's really a time to be in communion with creativity. It's like getting a quiet education for children of all ages. It’s simply meditative and fun.

Makes a Person Emotionally Intelligent
With the help of art, children become smarter, sharper, warmer, freer, more tolerant and considerate and more at peace not to mention more creative. With the fact that society has become so snarky, cynical, angry, scattered and far too often, wretched - art galleries help kids overcome this stress and help them to reconnect with themselves with greater values.

Community Oneness
If nothing else, art teaches kids that we are part of something much larger than ourselves.  It creates opportunities for community dialogue, shared cultural experiences, and civic work. With this, it provides an opportunity for kids to become socially conscious and engaged.  It not only helps them build relationships with others but also helps them appreciate and accept different culture.

Art galleries come and go and a lot of people think that while the internet is liberating artists, it's also putting some galleries out of the world.  This doesn't have to be the case.  Let's hope that with the help of top schools in Mira Bhayandar and various other international schools in Mumbai –the art galleries become a part of our future generation.  Younger kids need them, artists need them and so do we.

If your child has a natural talent for art, try to enroll him in such international/ CBSE schools in Mumbai that promote art and creativity.  The important point is that you nurture your child's talent without forcing him, right at a tender age.
