Benefits of Pottery Making as a Creative Activity
Clay Cove specializes in pottery
making as a fun activity to enhance the children’s creativity and
spatial intelligence. It nurtures a
child’s ability to create and encourages them to innovate and think
out-of-the- box by creating interesting forms.
This right-brained activity encourages the children to
practice visualizing in three dimensions.
Through rolling, kneading and pinching activities, they’ll
express their mental images into external forms. In painting their pottery masterpieces,
they’ll learn paint-brush movement and 3-D painting techniques.
3-D visualization is a powerful technique that all
children should master. It enables
them to gain a different perspective on forms and figures. Pottery making can achieve this as well
as enhance their fine-motor skills at the same time
Apart from having fun, pottery making also enables the
children to develop focus, concentration and stronger sense of
perseverance. This activity also
increases their confidence when they realize their ability to create
wonderful masterpieces. No two
pottery masterpieces are the same as each item created by the child has a
unique character.
