Exposure
to visual art is an essential part of a child’s mental
and
social development. Through art, children learn to
express
themselves and to develop their own sense of style.
Studies
indicate that children who participate in art are:
-
4X more likely to be recognized for academic achievement,
-
4X more likely to participate in math and science fairs,
-
3X more likely to hold student government positions, and
-
3X more likely to win an award for school attendance.
Better
test scores through arts!
Children
who engage in art have higher scores in reading,
writing,
and especially math. Kids will learn to be more
tolerant
and open through their involvement in the arts.
Participation
in the arts also encourages creative thinking,
language
fluency, originality, and elaboration.
