Artists of the Month

 

 
THE ARTS are important to our knowing, constructing knowledge, and understanding the world. Art activities enhance student learning and help students acquire basic developmental skills. According to research the arts help students to become better readers and problem solvers. 
 

           

  An increase in student achievement is noted especially where arts infused teaching methods are part of a school’s daily curriculum. Through a study of the arts, students learn higher order thinking skills: critical thinking, analyzing, and decision-making. The arts are motivating, engaging and they assist students in learning appropriate and positive and social/emotional skills!
