Arts

WHY?

Here are a couple of reasons why arts education is important for our learners.

• Art education connects students with their own culture as well as with the wider world.
• Learning in the arts helps learners to develop creative problem-solving skills.
• Learning through the arts can present difficult concepts visually, making them more easy to understand.
• Arts experiences boost critical thinking, teaching students to take the time to be more careful and thorough in how they observe the world.
