Why We Easel Art:
1. An easel is a large, inviting, exciting space that encourages creativity and free thinking. Compared to sitting at a table, or bending over a piece of paper, working at an easel feels free of rules and strict ways something must be done.
2. Working at an easel builds valuable muscle groups that are essential for children as they begin to develop writing skills. Large muscle groups develop first. The large motions and working with arms extended out in front of them, build up these muscles and prepare them for smaller fine motor skills, writing and hand control.
3. Drawing, scribbling, writing, painting at an eye-level perspective is important. It is more similar to how children see the world.
