"The
arts are core to the development of students and are an essential
component of public education. Involvement in the arts is
associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, and
verbal skills.
Research demonstrates that arts learning improves
motivation, concentration, and confidence. It supports
the
development of the 21st Century workforce and college
readiness skills, which include critical thinking
and reasoning,
information literacy, collaboration, self-direction and invention.
