Five Reasons to Take an Art Class – Whether you are a grownup or a child!
Welcome back to Creative Talk and happy 2022! The Spanish version of this blog can be found here.
Kids are naturally creative, but if their creativity isn’t fostered, they begin to lose it as they grow into adults.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
—Pablo Picasso
Art classes are a great way to foster the love for the arts in kids and adults. Our creativity is like a muscle that we must exercise consistently to improve it.
Whether you are an aspiring artist, a parent wishing to provide your child with creative opportunities to learn art, or someone who enjoys artistic activities as a hobby, taking art classes is a wonderful way to connect with your own creativity and enjoy all the benefits that artistic experiences provide.

Here are five reasons I can think of for anyone (big or small) to take an Art Class at Inventiva Works:
1. Explore New Skills. Learning something new is good for your brain and you might uncover hidden talents you did not know you had!
2. Socialize and build Community. Learning and working in small groups is an excellent opportunity for getting to know other members in the community that enjoy artistic experiences like you!
3. Get to Know Yourself. As you challenge yourself through the artistic practice you will find that art is a great outlet for emotional expression. Working with your hands and being inventive is good for your well-being. Art classes and workshops are a great opportunity to take time for yourself.
4. Empower Yourself. When you learn along the guidance of a professional teacher you will allow yourself to take bigger creative risks. Most of my students hear me say to them “You can do this; we just need to break it down.” Whether you have had a previous experience with art classes or not, our workshops are designed so that each participant ease into their own creative zone.
5. You will have an art piece to take with you. At the end of your workshop you will have a finished piece that you can take with you to show or gift to your friends and family! And you can show off your new super-power!

But perhaps one of the most important reasons why you will want to participate in our classes and workshops is because they are all taught in Spanish and designed around Latin American arts and culture. Because we believe that the arts are crucial to preserve our cultural identity and language and pass it along to the younger generations.
I like to think that at Inventiva Works we are more than just an art class; we are a community of creative souls having fun during the workshop.
