Values of Arts Education
Arts education not only inspires and motivates students to enjoy learning. It also
supports the creative and critical thinking skills that are so highly valued in today's
situations. Arts education not only inspires and motivates students to enjoy learning.
2.Collaboration: Working together for a common purpose teaches children that their
contribution is important, which is perfect for the collaborative nature of the arts. By
working collaboratively on a project, students learn to communicate more effectively,
compromise when necessary, and work hard even if their role may seem small. All of
these skills are vital in any work environment where teams come together for a common
goal.
3. Confidence: The arts create a safe space for students to explore their talents and
build their confidence. Students who are shy in a normal classroom setting may gain the
assurance to stand up and talk about their artwork. The sense of pride gained through a

finished product encourages the students to keep trying and striving to accomplish
more. With this confidence, they are more likely to take risks and step out of their
comfort zone to try new things in other areas of their lives.
4.Cultural Awareness & Empathy: The arts provide a unique platform to discuss many
different cultures, socioeconomic levels, and current events. Through the arts, students
have a place not only to learn about different cultures than their own, but also to ask
questions and be more informed about the daily struggles and realities of people who
may seem different. By learning about other people, children are able to develop their
ability for empathy, essential in working with people from all walks of life, and realize
that we have more in common than not.
5.Critical Thinking: When students are making a work of art, the process includes
conceptual and interpretational thinking that helps build their critical thinking skills
including observation, reasoning, and problem-solving. During the creative process,
children use logic and problem solving to strategize how to reach their intended
outcome. Critical thinking skills are also in play when observing and analyzing famous
works. This ability to think critically to solve problems in a unique way is key to the 21st
century workplace.
