The Joy And Meaning of Song and Circle In Early Childhood

Art plays an incredibly important role in the development of creative capacities, in expressing emotional intelligence and laying the foundations for trans-disciplinary cognitive faculties, both in children and adults.

Art is the balancing agent for hand, head, and heart enabling holistic growth and transformation in humanity.

Art is particularly important for nurturers and those who work with others since it provides a medium for expressing original ideas, emotional deepening, and directed actions.

Thus, art enriches communication and clarifies its role as the visual language of human development.

In this presentation on the importance of art, Van James will introduce a broad overview of how art, throughout time and across world cultures, is a picture of the evolution and transformation of who we are and what our potentials are as human beings.

The presentation is for any curious learners, artists, and for longtime practicing nurturers.
