A recent joint report by the President's
Committee on the Arts and Humanities and the
Arts Education Partnership concluded that
sustained engagement in the arts:
• nurtures the development of intellectual,
social and personal competencies;
• increases academic achievement;
• helps decrease youth involvement in
delinquent behavior;
• improves youths' attitudes about themselves,
their peers, adults, and their future; and
• encourages students to stay and succeed in
school.
Specifically, the report found that arts learning
improves decision-making, problem solving and
critical thinking; fosters transferable thinking
skills, develops positive peer relations, engages
multiple skills and abilities and develops
increased capability in imagination and judgment.
