    Elbert Hubbard once said “Art is not a thing; it is a way.” Art is all around us; from the floor we walk on, to the color of the walls around us, to the music we listen to on the radio. Many kids have taken on a lot of different forms that did not exist many years ago. Today, we fill our world with street art not exactly thought about to be art like mimes, circus acts, puppetry, mask theater, vaudeville, and storytelling through movement (Rapp 4). Art is an essential part of our society today and has been for many years.…

Parents attend musicals, arts shows and dance recitals to show their support for the arts programs.

Studies have shown drastic improvements on state mandated assessments between schools that have arts integrations and those that do not provide arts education on a regular basis. Student behavior and attendance are also effected by the integration of arts programs.…

    Another important take away from this article is how rewarding and beneficial it was for the youth to participate in such a program. Youth were able to see the results and strived to succeed in an activity they enjoyed doing. By doing a program like a sports program allows for transfer of knowledge, skills and motivation.

    The Fundamentality of the Arts in Public Education Picture a barren wasteland, empty of any thought that branches outside of normality. Beige walls decorate bland streets filled with broken dreams and sullied minds. This is the world without art. Earth takes breaths of life and joy because we strive to create. The world needs art, not for survival, but for the sake of its people.…

    Finding one’s true passions can be an epiphany, yet for me it was an oddity I strayed away from at first. As a child, I finger painted to my heart’s content and displayed my artistic expressions on the cream-colored walls of my house.

    My Service Learning activity, the Ars Poetica Collaboration, was one of the most exciting yet difficult projects that I have completed at Tennessee State University. Through this project I was forced to make sacrifices for the benefit of the group and our work. Yet, by doing this, I was able to gain a better understanding of my peers and their wonderful talents. The most challenging part of this Service Learning Activity was working with people who were not English majors or poets. Although the Mass Communications students were amazing, they did not know much about poetry.…

    The first study that implemented this program took place at the Annsville Youth Center, in New York (Goldstein, 4). The study was conducted on 60 youths, in which a small group (24) received the intervention in ART, the second group (24) were given a “brief discussion” this allowed for Goldstein and his colleagues, to see if the children had the skills in them, but were just not using them, and the last group (12) received no intervention or instructions (Goldstein, 4). The goal of the study was to see how effective ART was in the center, “ it looked at skill acquisition, minimal skill transfer, extended skill transfer, anger control enhancement, and impulsive reduction” (Goldstein, 4).

    Art education is not something that should not exceed the budget of other schools that cannot afford it and instead be shared equally among all types of public schools.

Art has its own form of educational value and students develop better interaction skills with their peers and the public. Being able to develop a bond with peers with their same interest’s help students open up and become less shy thus helping them build a more sophisticated way of thinking.…
