Many studies show that, physiologically, the human brain consists of 2 parts: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. The left brain is used in logical thinking and analysis. This is the part of our education right now that we focus on in school, including math, literacy and science. The brain must be used in emotional perception, intuition and creativity. The brain must be used mainly when a person engages in creative endeavors such as making art. It is the part of the brain that the traditional school environment does not value and overlook. But they forget that, children have hundreds of languages to express themselves, of which, art has hundreds of ways of expressing. Thus, through art, people can display tens of thousands of talents and unlimited abilities.

Thereby, we can see the great importance of art to human beings. Art for preschool children not only brings aesthetic development, but also gives children the opportunity to develop cognitive, social emotions and fine motor, which is an opportunity for children to develop. present yourself in a unique way.
