Opportunities for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, May 1994. The arts are acknowledged as an importantacademic subject in providing students with a well-rounded education and preparing them ascontributing members of society. In-service training in the arts isneeded for both teachers of the arts and teachers who integrate the art into learning in other subjects. The similarities between the arts and math and science are well known. Arts programs are excellent vehicles for bringing parents together with their children.
More parents come to arts events than to otheractivities.
Opportunities abound to take the next step, bringing parents and students together through shared arts experiences to work toward a common academic goal.
