Visual arts have been used to educate, persuade, etc. It is also used to capture and
express a wide array of values, beliefs, and ideas embraced by people from around the
world. While drawing, painting, or sculpting a shape, students are improving their hand
eye coordination because their hand is following their eye while creating. Visual art can
also help children learn and practice skills like patterning and cause and effect.
