ART EDUCATION @ PLAYFAIR MEMORIAL COLLEGE, ORO-AGO, IFELODUN L.G.A, KWARA

It makes kids feel great when they construct something they can look at and admire. A frown changes to a smile in kids when they paint, draw or engaged in coloring. Shortage of Art teachers in our schools today make it impossible for many kids to tap into their talents and potentials.
It is a great privilege for the student of PLAYFAIR MEMORIAL COLLEGE, ORO-AGO, IFELODUN L.G.A, KWARA STATE to have a trained and experienced artist posted to the school. Corper Adeniyi, the new Art teacher is a graduate of Fine and Applied Arts Dept., University of Benin. He has been able to successfully win the heart of the student within a short space of time into the practice of Art. They are ready to work when it comes to Art period and so eager to submit their home works.
Art stimulates creativity and promotes critical thinking skills. It should also be note that Art Education helps prepare students to communicate and express their understanding in a myriad of ways: kinesthetic, visual, auditory, verbal and written modes.
Art enables them to learn specific knowledge and skills associated with an art form. The complexity of such engagement develops other sets of skills, and abilities such as commitment to hard work, disciplined attention to detail, being able to imagine solutions and recognizing ways to turn failure into success.
Unlike in many other schools, students of PLAYFAIR MEMORIAL COLLEGE, ORO-AGO, has been exposed to practical aspect of Art Education, such like the art of TIE & DYE. This are believe to build in them some technical skills, and learn to be creative problem solvers.
