Visual Art
In This Section
The initial response of a child to colour and the eye’s fascination with form and texture highlights the importance of art in our everyday lives. While not everyone can be an artist, everyone must learn to appreciate art and develop an aesthetic sense. Art enhances our perception, sparks creativity, fosters empathy and enriches our personal experiences.
