The
Value of Art Education:
Education in the Arts and
Through the Arts
Why
is Art Education Important?
Produced
by The National PTA and The Getty Center for Education
in the Arts
Art
is essential to learning-not just an educational frill.
Learning about the visual arts gives students a window
onto the rich and interesting world around them, teaching
them about their own history and culture, as well as
those of other people.
It
cultivates self-expression, imagination and creativity
as well as critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
Students who learn about art develop their capacities
to weigh meanings and make evaluations and judgments.
Understanding and making art can teach students how
to work cooperatively in groups and how to work hard
to achieve a goal.
The
development of all of these skills and attributed not
only makes students better learners but it also helps
students feel good about themselves-it builds self-esteem.
And in a world in which ideas and information are often
delivered visually, children need to learn how to analyze
and judge the meaning of images and how to use them
to communicate their own ideas.
Today's
educators and business leaders consider these skills
and attributes vital to individual achievement and America's
progress. Yet the fact is that most schools have experienced
budget cuts in art programs during the last 10 years
and, as a result, some schools offer little or no instruction
in art. The students at these schools are missing an
opportunity to expand skills so necessary to succeeding
in a competitive economic environment in our culturally
diverse, visually oriented world.
Education
in the arts and through the arts is essential, and a
complete approach to learning includes comprehensive
visual arts education for grades K-12.

ARTIST'S
QUOTES
The
object of art is not to reproduce reality, but
to create a reality of the same intensity.
-Alberto Giacometti
I
think you have to control the materials to an
extent, but it's important to let the materials
have a kind of power for themselves; like the
natural power of gravity, if you are painting
on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips;
there is no reason to fight that.
-Keith Haring
I have always tried to hide my own efforts and
wished my works to have the lightness and joyousness
of a springtime which never lets anyone suspect
the labours it cost.
-Henri Matisse
The
color of the object illuminated partakes of the
color of that which illuminates it.
-Leonardo da Vinci
A
good painter has two main objects to paint, man
and the intention of his soul. The former is easy,
the latter hard as he has to represent it by the
attitude and movement of the limbs.
-Leonardo da Vinci
What
is Visual Arts?
from
Wikipedia
The visual arts are a class of artforms,
including painting, sculpture, photography, and
others, that focus on the creation of artworks
which are primarily visual in nature. The visual
arts are distiguished from the performing arts,
language arts, culinary arts, and other such classes
of artwork. The definition is not strict, and
many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the
visual arts as well other types.
