school curriculum? The topic of arts education is a very controversial one, or at least a topic that has caused a lot of fighting. Some are fighting for more access to the arts, and others are fighting against it, claiming that arts are too costly to be beneficial.

This should certainly not be the case.

Art education is often underestimated by many who believe that school was created to teach only analytical concepts such as mathematics and literature. However, research has shown that art courses are important, even necessary for students in elementary, middle, and high schools.

Barbara Streisand said, “Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even
were the fine arts educators. Futhermore, thousands of children have lost the opportunity to experience art, dance, music, and theatre classes. In spite of America’s economic turmoil causing schools major budget cuts, there are three key reasons why schools should continue to support the arts: the arts contribute to state and national economies, the arts prepare students for high paying jobs, and the arts have a positive impact on every child’s life.

The arts are everywhere in our lives and have always been an important part of human daily experiences.

Components in Art Education Balanced programs for art education have been constantly changing and adapting over the years. One program that was developed back in the late 1960’s by Elliot Eisner incorporated three areas of art into the curriculum. These included art object, art criticism and the historical context of art. His program developed into a theoretical base for art curriculum in the elementary schools that is very similar to programs used today (Madeja 2001). Today most art education programs
Art Education is not always valued in school settings. Although some may see it as an unnecessary use of school funding, there are many who believe it is beneficial to students in more ways than one.

Some studies have proven that art education can help students to improve in other academic areas. In a journal article from Ohio State University’s “Theory in Practice,” Karen
Art Education Philosophy Arts education is vital for young students, as it promotes positive activity in the brain, not only for the development of fine motor skills and language, but also decision-making skills that adults may take for granted.

The only way to preserve the tradition of art is to teach the youth about the rich history of the arts and teach the arts with hands-on learning. Also, arts education can provide way more life skills than one may think.

Fine Arts Education Issues According to the National Art Education Association’s goals for schools, “all elementary schools shall require students to complete a sequential program of art instruction that integrates the study of art production, aesthetics, art criticism, and art history,” (Clark, 1987).

¨Arts experiences boost critical thinking, teaching students to take the time to be more careful and thorough in how they observe the world¨ (Yacht). This quote from the source ¨Arts Education Matters: We Know, We Measured It¨ talks about the benefits that students get from arts education.

According to Smith (2009), “Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill”.

bible verse that so wonderfully illustrates how the fine arts should be funded, “He said ‘I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood’” (The Catholic Youth Bible, Luke 21:3-4). Because the arts are funded from the surplus, when budget cuts are necessary they are the first to take the blow. The fine arts are considered one of the ten core school subjects;
The Importance of Arts Education Jane Alexander, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), once said, “Many children are missing out on something which gives their education context, gives their lives depth and meaning, and prepares them to be the future workforce.” This “something” that she spoke of is music and art education.
