Why should you take the arts?
The arts offer students unique opportunities to explore and develop skills in a fun, comfortable environment. Because there is not one correct answer, students are forced to use higher order thinking skills to solve the problems presented to them. Students gain confidence as they learn to trust their instincts and develop their critical thinking skills. Arts classes appeal to the senses - and that means an appeal for all types of learners. The arts are hands-on, and there is a great amount of satisfaction and knowledge that comes from actively completing a task. The arts help students to SEE the world around them. The arts encourage students to pay attention to the details - and to think critically about them. This is a LIFE SKILL that helps students both appreciate and question the objects, images and messages in the world around them. |
Arts courses are a wonderful outlet for students - and the arts are fun!
