Art develops important skills, both physical and social. It inspires imagination, abstract thinking and problem solving.

​

Art offers an outlet for individuality and creativity. Art does not teach students what to think; it teaches them how to think. It teaches them that there are multiple solutions to problems and that problems can be solved with creative solutions.

​

Art helps teach students respect for themselves and others. It inspires imagination and self-esteem and provides an outlet for self-expression.
