Why Fine Arts?
-The arts reach students not normally reached, in ways and methods not normally used; this leads to better student attendance and lower dropout rates.
-It changes the learning environment to one of discovery; this often reignites the love of learning in students tired of just being fed facts.
-Students connect with each other better; this often results in fewer fights, greater understanding of diversity, and greater peer support.
-The arts provide challenges to students of all levels; each student can find their own level from basic to gifted.
-Students learn to become sustained, self-directed learners; the student does not just become an outlet for stored facts from direct instruction, but seeks to extend instruction to higher levels of proficiency
The student of the fine arts positively impacts the learning of students of lower socioeconomic status as much or more than those of a higher socioeconomic status
