Learning to make art gives people more appreciation for art created by others.
This is a huge reason why it is important that the arts are included in education from the youngest age onward; and that the arts are not neglected at any age.
We connect to ourselves – to who we are – through art.
The concept of the value of art needs to be shared in our communities and our families. It means more to a healthy, evolving, and educated society than any other single thing.

I was into sports in school…but in band and in chorus….and in at least four plays….not sure if we had art or writing courses most likely not……..you are so correct on this…and we have many people who would cut funding for all art, be it grades, high school, colleges….be aware of them as they are full of anger…they live and breathe a hated for the NEA…
