Mental health is a topic that's been receiving more and more attention in recent years. Whereas before, mental illness was a topic that was seen as taboo or shameful, it's now being recognized as a pretty standard part of many people's lives and something that needs to be addressed head-on. Within the broader topic of mental wellness, kids' mental health is an especially important area of focus.

So, where does art come in? In the context of the pandemic, teachers are using art classes and expression to ease kids back into in-person learning with amazing results. Read on for tips, resources, and some of Austin's finest art schools for kids and adults alike.

Spring break is just around the corner (March 15-19) with summer soon to follow (end of May-mid August). If you're looking for spring break camps or summer camps that spark your kids' creativity, check out Cordovan Art School art camps.
