Art education

enter the field of art education. It is my passion for art and design that has led me to teach art. This passion stems from my belief that art is the underlying connector. Art can be the bridge that connects on a variety of levels to a range of important topics, including other school subjects. It can be used to understand history or illustrate a story. Art bridges the language barrier between cultures and has remained a constant connector to the past. Most importantly, with art, students can…

Throughout the years, there have been national debates of whether or not these classes are a necessary part of a student’s education. Many of these students who take these classes enjoy…

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. To rephrase: humanity needs art. Art and music help to fuel the brain, these fields of creativity are challenging…

The arts are now seen as an elective rather than a core subject and are being neglected in comparison to other subjects.

group project on arts education was personally interesting for several reasons. The arts didn’t play a large role in my own education, thus, it was very interesting to learn about the topic and realize that I do place importance on that aspect of education despite my own lack of exposure. Furthermore, the arts play a large role in my field placement through music classes that the students participate in. I’ve observed many of the benefits that are produced through engagement in the arts, so I…

the newest budget cuts. More often than not, the answer revolves around one thing only. “Because of recent loss of funds, we must cut arts education from the system.” To some, this idea may seem absurd. To some, the idea is reasonable. They question the importance of the arts in the lives of students and find it an easy item to mark off the list.

INTRO and The Arts I noticed the 1st page of the article has only a picture and no words. I thought having a picture as the 1st page really emphasized the importance of integrating The Arts into all subjects in the classroom.

In America, a liberal arts degree seems to be such a demand. High schoolers are pressured to apply to many different colleges and pick a high paying/achieving degree that takes at least four years to achieve. But if you dig a little deeper into why college seems to be so important, is it really necessary to go to college for four years? Will a liberal arts degree actually benefit you and worth the years it takes it attain one? The articles “The New Liberal Arts” by Sanford J. Ungar and “Are Too…
