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.
