The overuse of technology among children is changing their creative perspective on the arts. The need for creative workshops within afterschool programs. There are many benefits that come with teaching creative arts to young children with developing personalities and brains. Creative art is an opportunity for children to express themselves, take risks, and explore self-awareness. Funding for arts education is declining and children’s reliance on technology continues to rise. Reversing this trend is crucial for the well-being of children.
