SAT Preparation in Swampscott

Whether SAT is a good indicator of student's skills and intelligence is a topic for discourse of its own, but regardless, every high school student going to college needs to score high on the test.  Success on the SAT is all about getting used to the various kinds of problems that SAT is made of and therefor the longer a student is studying for the SATs and the more practice tests a student has completed the more likely he/she is to achieve a high score.  High school students need to have completed the SAT by the end of the 11th grade to be on the safe side, so it is wise to start preparing for it in the 10th grade, thus taking the pressure and stress out of the equation.
  The Youth Talent School offers Math SAT preparatory classes in Swampscott.  By keeping the class sizes small the Youth Talent School stays true to its commitment to offer the highest quality education. Register for the SAT program at the Youth Talent School and see how it will help you succeed on the SATs.

Gymnastics for Kids

Gymnastics is one of the top favorite classes for parents to enroll small children into.  This is due to the countless benefits to child's development that gymnastics has to offer.  Agility, fitness, motorics, improved health and discipline are among the many positive effects of doing gymnastics.


  Gymnastics classes come in two forms, 1) were parents actively participate with their kids, assisting children on every step of each exercise, and 2) classes where these tasks are performed by instructors.  Each method has its benefits.  When parents assist children they have the chance to learn the routine and practice it with their kids during the week.  Also the behavior of one child does not affect that much the performance of the entire group.  The second method, when parents are not admitted to the class has the following advantages: children work much better with no parent present, they learn to communicate with peers, every time a child performs an exercise he/she is supervised by an instructor who insures that all moves are performed correctly. Which of the class methodologies to choose depends on the parents requirements and child's maturity.
 In the Swampscott / Marblehead area the Youth Talent School offers gymnastics classes for children ages 2 and up. At the Youth Talent School children practice gymnastics in small groups and receive the full attention of the instructor. Parents are not admitted to classes in order to preserve discipline which is essential when working with children of such a young age.  Youth Talent School trains gymnastics up to team level IV inclusive.
 To learn more and to register for classes visit the Youth Talent School's gymnastics studio website.

On Art Education in Artist's Development

 
Human artistic evolution can now be observed in a child's artistic development from the first steps to adulthood.  Just like cave-man drew stick figures on walls, so will a child, using any available utensil draw bizarre shapes on your freshly-painted walls. And as humans evolved achieving higher levels of artistic skill, so will a child, only thousands of times faster, skipping millenia every year of his/her development as an artist.  It appears that the desire to create is embedded in every human and it starts manifesting itself from before the first steps, and accelerates greatly when the child leaves the comfort of being breast-fed. The creative energy is unstoppable and will manifest itself in many different forms.

Recent progress in media and entertainment industries have been shifting creativity from being creative into participatory.   Children now either observe the content flashing before their eyes or participate in it, as in computer games.  While these forms of entertainment make parent's lives much easier, it is important not to get carried away and overlook the significance of applied art, art made in real life (not in virtual space), by artist's own hands.  Using, and properly holding a pencil at an early age, under 5, has a very important, but not apparent effect on development. It promotes the motor skills and coordination of fingers and that stimulates greatly the brain development. A well organized art program for young children teaches many important skills, such as: shapes, colors, even numbers, coordination, motor skills, composition and mismatching object to create new forms.  Art develops imagination and stimulates creativity and innovation. Guidance is important when learning art.  A good art teacher motivates and inspires students, teaches skills and develops the sense of style and artistic taste.
  At the Youth Talent School the art programs are targeted for different age groups.  From introductory art and craft for the youngest, to fashion design and portfolio building for teens, the art classes at the Youth Talent School engage the student and promote the uniqueness of self-expression while teaching the theory and skill of the subject.
  The Youth Talent School offers art classes for children in subjects such as: painting, drawing, clay, sewing and fashion design. To learn more and to register visit the Youth Talent School web site.
