We at Mother Theresa Memorial School believe teaching drawing, sketching, and painting from a very young age is an important aspect of a well-rounded education. It encourages creativity, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and self-expression, while also promoting fine motor skills and observation skills.

1. Enhances creativity: Drawing, sketching, and painting allow students to express their creativity and imagination. It encourages them to think outside the box and find new ways of seeing and representing the world around them.

2. Develops observation skills: Drawing, sketching, and painting require students to pay close attention to the details of the subject matter. This helps develop their observation skills and makes them more attentive to their surroundings.

3. Improves fine motor skills: Drawing, sketching, and painting require fine motor skills, such as hand-eye coordination, precision, and dexterity. By practicing these skills, students can improve their overall manual dexterity and ability to control their movements.

4. Boosts critical thinking: Drawing, sketching, and painting require students to make decisions about composition, color, and form. This boosts their critical thinking skills and helps them learn to analyze and evaluate their own work.

5. Provides a means of self-expression: Art provides a means for students to express themselves in a nonverbal way. It can be especially valuable for students who struggle to express themselves verbally or who have difficulty communicating their emotions.

6. Encourages cultural awareness: Art has a rich history and is an important aspect of many cultures. By teaching drawing, sketching, and painting, students can learn about different artistic traditions and gain a greater appreciation for cultural diversity.

7. Fosters confidence: Through drawing, sketching, and painting, students can develop a sense of accomplishment and pride in their work. This can boost their confidence and self-esteem.
