According to a June 2005 Harris Poll, 93 percent of Americans believe that the arts are vital to providing a well-rounded education. Researchers tell us that getting an early start in the arts can make a real difference in the lives of children. Participation in the arts is important. Research shows that the benefits of early arts education extend way beyond providing a creative outlet for children. Arts education can help develop:
- Imagination
- Cognitive skills
- Creative abilities
- Problem solving
- Fine motor skills
- Language
- Social skills
- Sense of time and place
- Focusing
- Listening
- Risk taking
- Tolerance
- Uniqueness
Art education can play a major role in a child’s academic and social development.
Children who regularly participate in a comprehensive arts program are four-times more likely to be elected to class office; four-times more likely to be in a math or science fair, and four-times more likely to win an award for writing, according to research published by Americans for the Arts.
