Thoughts on keeping art in schools.
Did you know that schools are preforming budget cuts in the form of cutting art from the student’s curriculum? Not only is art important for art’s sake, a child that learns art also does better in other subjects.
Here are some of the benefits of leaning the arts given by the National Arts Education Public Awareness Campaign:
The arts teach kids to be more tolerant and open.
The arts allow kids to express themselves creatively.
The arts promote individuality, bolster self-confidence, and improve overall academic performance.
The arts can help troubled youth, providing an alternative to delinquent behavior and truancy while providing an improved attitude towards school.
