Through art, children learn and express their emotions; when giving a child the space to draw or perform some other activity of creative expression, without knowing it, they will be embodying emotions and sensations. Therefore, art is a relevant strategy for education in all areas; these simple skills can make a significant difference in teaching, especially if carried out at an early age, as they enhance their creative, reflective and critical thinking.

The power of art is the topic of our fifth episode in which we will reveal strategies for linking art to children's lives from their earliest years.
