Art class plays a vital role in providing a well-rounded education, particularly for boys, by fostering essential 21st-century skills. While more academic subjects like math and science often focus on logical reasoning and analytical skills, visual art provides a unique platform for students to explore their imagination, express themselves and develop critical thinking abilities. The freedom the studio creates encourages them to think outside the box and explore unconventional solutions to problems — which, for many, can be quite challenging. By engaging in artistic endeavours, boys can tap into their creativity and develop a deep understanding of themselves and the world around them.
