Learning about art, learning to express your creativity and your emotions are important, especially in the development of children. Therefore should art classes be more present in the educational system? Should we start considering art as a way to help our children grow?
A Study by Stanford University and Carnegie Foundation For the Advancement of Teaching showed that students who are participating in arts are:
- 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
- 4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair
- 3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance
As it appears, arts can improve the academic performances of students. Therefore demonstrating its importance and benefits for our educational system. On this blog we wrote several posts about the benefits of art. Next to the improvement in the grades and performances of students, art can also help them release anxiety, deal with their emotions and help them relax. For more information you can visit the ArtsforLA website.
There are several organisations that can are working to raise awareness about the importance of including art classes in our schools programs. For more information you can visit the NaeA (National art education association) website at:
