Art
A noted spiritual writer, Thomas Merton, wrote, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” This statement is valuable because it applies to those of all ages. As humans, we have an innate sense that allows the expression of the beauty that lies unseen in the human spirit. In a sense, this is what Merton is referring to.
Routinely, children enter a zone with art activities where they are physically present. Still, as they engage in the work of art, even for a moment, the creative spirit emerges and transports them to a place where they have no sense of time or being—there is only experience, creativity, and purity.
This dynamic generates invention, vision, imagination, originality, etc., which touches all developmental domains, as experience does not occur in a vacuum. Humans are sentience creatures regardless of age which applies from birth throughout the lifespan.
​
At HMT we embrace and encourage this quality in children by providing opportunities for each child to engage in art activities that foster this nature.
