Students that participate in art education do better in other studies. Art education challenges a student to utilize a higher-order of thinking, using skills that are not achieved in other subjects. Arts Education is an activity that begins at home. When you value and encourage your children s enjoyment of the arts at home, you are preparing them to be better learners in school. Today, policy makers and parents alike recognize the value of art education.
Parents agree that art is as important as math or science or history or foreign language.
Yet, over the past ten years schools have experienced budget cuts in art programs. Your support of Arts Education can make a difference in deciding if and how art will be taught in your children s schools.
