The Advantage of Arts Education
Volume 5 / Issue 1 / Fall 2004
Arts with the Brain in Mind, by Eric Jensen (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, 2001), details how schools can make arts education a core subject and how to integrate the arts into every subject. Jensen, who reviews what programs should be considered and how to implement and assess them, asserts that the positive effects of a fully implemented arts program include
- a lower dropout rate,
- higher attendance,
- better team play,
- increased love of learning,
- greater student dignity,
- enhanced creativity,
- greater cultural awareness, and
- better preparedness for the workplace.
