Art of Gold’s kids classes are Process Art experiences. We focus more on the process of creating, and less on the final product. This builds confidence and encourages curiosity, among many other benefits. The importance of Process Art is that it simply refuses to conform to anything. The finished product is actually unimportant. What matters is the process used to create it.

• Process Art nurtures social and emotional health, reinforcing such skills as relaxation, focus, self-esteem and emotional sharing.
• It helps to build such cognitive skills as comparison, prediction, planning and problem-solving.
• This form of art encourages the development of fine motor skills like painting, cutting and gluing.
• Process Art may also help to build the skills of verbal expression and language if the child chooses to discuss their work.
