The
arts are an important part of education. Arts’ programs promote
self-esteem, open the horizons of the creative mind, and enhance
scholastic skills. As a result, students’ lives are enriched and
their visual and auditory skills strengthened. Student’s abilities
in reading, writing and arithmetic are increased. Arts programs
boost students’ success with technology because information processing
in most new technologies is based on graphic and visual understanding.
Exposure to the Arts increases sensitivity to the emotions and
needs of other human beings. Arts also increase positive self-esteem
and affect who we become as adults. Dance, theater, voice, playing
an instrument, story telling, visual arts creation, writing and
photography - all help a child build confidence and add joy to
the learning experience.
