“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”
-Vincent Van Gogh
Why Learn Music and Art
| Why Art |
|
- Every child in every school has the right to a well-rounded education, of which the arts are an essential ingredient. Beyond having great value in and of themselves, the arts promote the health and well-being of children, including academic and personal growth, critical thinking and analytical skills, and the motivation to stay in school and excel. Quality arts education is central to a complete education and it is required by state law.
- Experience with the arts gives children the opportunity to achieve their full potential and become artists, audiences, informed citizens, and professionals who are prepared for success in the 21st century economy.
