WHAT IS ART EDUCATION?

Art education refers to learning, instruction and

programming based upon the visual and
tangible arts.
Includes:
 performing arts like dance, music, theater.

 visual arts like drawing, painting, sculpture,

and;
 design works in jewelry, pottery, weaving and
fabrics.
 Arts Education is one of the most effective
ways to empower students to reflect on, act on,
and give voice to their own opinions, beliefs,
and ideas through the creation and
presentation of their own arts expressions.
THE ARTS EDUCATION AIMS TO HELP STUDENTS:

 develop creativity, critical thinking and

communication skills, and nurture aesthetic
sensitivity and cultural awareness;
 develop arts skills, construct knowledge, and
cultivate positive values and attitudes;
 gain delight, enjoyment and satisfaction
through participating in arts activities; and
 pursue a lifelong interest in the arts.
WHY ART EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT?

1. The arts help students to attain life skills, not

only skills in a specific artistic discipline. The
arts draw on a range of skills and abilities that
encourage the development of study, social,
and personal skills in addition to specific
artistic techniques.
WHY ART EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT?

2. Arts education develops students who are self

driven and motivated as they are often the
toughest critics of their own work. It teaches
students to learn for the experience of learning
and not just for the grade. Involvement in the
arts teaches students how to try new things,
manage risk, and handle failure.
WHY ART EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT?

3. The arts provide students with a multitude of

options for expressing and communicating their
ideas and students learn to think about
problems from a broad range of
perspectives. These kinds of communication
and problem solving abilities are essential to all
work environments, regardless of the field. .
ART PRESERVE HISTORY

When we look at history what are we looking

at, we are looking at art. Everything from
paintings, sculptures, and the large structures
left behind. The art left behind by past
cultures, culture is not only found in what was
left behind but what is going on today.
A SCHOOL WITHOUT ART

Dropout rates would sky rocket students would

find no outlets in school and would have to
seek out things like physical education and
have limited ways to express themselves.
There would be an overall lack of attendance
in school because without any forms of art
there is not much to speak to the students on a
person level and retain interest.
THE ARTS:
 Provide an expressive outlet for students
 A sense of freedom to express
 Help build self-esteem
 Can foster collaboration
 Empowers the students
 Introduce other cultures and history
 Create classrooms build out of respect and
 being part of something larger than yourself
