The Benefits of Art Education

According to a June 2005 Harris Poll, 93 percent of Americans believe that the arts are vital to providing a well-rounded education. Researchers tell us that getting an early start in the arts can make a real difference in the lives of children. Participation in the arts is important. Research shows that the benefits of early arts education extend way beyond providing a creative outlet for children. Arts education can help develop:

Imagination Cognitive skills Creative abilities Problem solving Fine motor skills Language Social skills Sense of time and place Focusing Listening Risk taking Tolerance Uniqueness And more...

Art education can play a major role in a child's academic and social development.
