What do you do when you see a young child responding to a complex task in a way that’s different from their peers? Do you remind them how to stick to expectations or limit their boundaries to what their task entails? Or will you allow them to step back and watch them grow in their own unique space?
Finding and nurturing young talent can be a difficult task. Although, if you wish for children to embrace their artistic sides and embrace the uniqueness they were born with, here are a few ways you can help them to nurture their talents.
Acknowledging Skills, Strengths, and Talents
Many professionals that coach artists have come across a common problem of needing help to see themselves the way other people see their abilities and unique talents.
When these coaches asked these artists to describe their art and the qualities that made them unique, most of them replied with answers that underestimated their positive attributes and were more focused on inadequacies.
Consequently, artists must learn to appreciate their abilities. They should start writing a list of their best qualities and the skills that make that unique amongst their peers. They can even let other loved ones add to that list. It is crucial for the artist to develop a positive self-image so that they can ensure a healthy, energetic, and creative lifestyle.
Being Alone With Your Art
Creative spaces are sacred places that do not allow the entry of other people aside from you. Many artists have had to compromise on being with their families or hanging out with friends. And even though it is important to prioritize both sides of your life, you need to let your close ones know when it is time for you to be left alone with your art.
Start placing guilt-free restrictions on your excessive family and social demands and give yourself a healthy balance to indulge in both your social and artistic activities. The influence of nurturing one’s art in an encouraging environment can help them unravel so many aspects of their abilities, skills, mindsets, morals, and so much more.
There are some places as well where you can seek professional assistance in getting yourself the ideal creative education you need to enhance your artistic journey toward a lucrative career.
Consider Krump Society- a reputable American non-profit organization for youth support that works to assist the youth of Los Angeles County through art, creativity, and community building.
The society was founded by Norris L Duckett III in 2021 in California. The goal of the establishment is to focus on creating after-school activities, boosting their professional job training while contributing to community and family wellness. Moreover, Krump Society ensures having a teacher of leaders in place to guide and train young artists – therefore creating a space where youth can have a space of stability, outreach, and growth.
In addition, Krump Society also runs a bi-annul event called ‘The Buck Spree,’ a tournament that facilitates the youth simultaneously with several aspects – including work exposure, community growth, networking, and more. The contest focuses on providing contestants with the proper critiques required to enhance their skills.
Furthermore, in 2022, Krump Society collaborated with Black Clouds 89 Clothing in order to present ‘The Rebirth 2 Event. You will also find that many notable personalities are affiliated with the Krump Society, including Tha J-Squad, Stained Minds, Soulja, Momma Smoove, Miss Prissy, 6ix Vil, and many more.
