Did you know how beneficial summer art camp is for our children? The program I offer is short and sweet, project based, with lots of opportunity to relax and explore your creativity. It’s a no judgment zone! Here are some of the wonderful benefits of working in clay!
1. Clay acts as a relaxant, similar to a stress ball.
2. Touching clay induces stimulating neural in-put from your sensory senses.
3. Levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, have been known to lower when playing with, modeling and squeezing clay.
4. Using your hands releases a calming effect as cognitive processing occurs while modeling and forming clay.
5. Playing with clay can transform an individual into a relaxed meditated state.
6. Clay as a form of therapy taps into the unconscious mind and its considered art expression.
7. The resistance of working with clay integrates mental, emotional and kinaesthetic brain functions.
8. Hands on art is now a form of self care, similar to exercising.
9. At a young age, playing, touching, forming and modelling clay is considered active learning.
10. Playing with clay can relieve stress for kids.
