What can exploring art do for enhancing and developing career skills?
Art in all its forms and mediums has the incredible ability to let anybody express themselves.

Overall it develops people who are not afraid to take risk, try new things, and builds a person who has a positive image of themselves.

It should be given more credit for how it can help children of with varying levels of abilities. It allows them to express and demonstrate their knowledge without being bound to the traditional academic standardized rubrics that are used to judge what a student knows. It should not be only given 40 minutes a day once a week, our students would benefit greatly from it.
