The Arts

Arts Education helps students express themselves and understand others' creative expressions.

3 Tips to Support Arts Education at Home

Encourage the arts as a way to process and communicate feelings and ideas.

The arts provide a way for students (and all of us) to share and connect during the pandemic.

Share your experience with the arts, and look for ways others are communicating and connecting through the arts during quarantine.

2. Support The Creative Process.

Students are learning to navigate The Creative Process, which includes trial and error, reflection and revision.

When your child is working on a creative project, acknowledge the process as well as the final product, and prompt your child to talk about the creative choices (and revisions) they made along the way.

3. Discover the arts together.

Arts organizations worldwide are offering virtual access to families, and many websites offer free educational tools. Check out some of the links below to extend your child's learning.
