  1. SUMMARIZE v. to give a shortened version of something that has been said or written, stating its main points

  2. Read the following, then write a brief summary. Learning to draw and think creatively helps prepare students for the future. In fact, learning to paint, create, or design art requires mastering skills which are often invisible to the naked eye, but are developed through a strong visual arts education. In fact, according the National Arts Education Association (NAEA), A “little” visual arts education is simply not adequate and would be considered unacceptable in any other core academic area. Teaching students to be creative is a deliberate process, much like teaching literacy or mathematics, and is certainly just as important. The skills

  3. learned through participation in the visual arts help to equip our nation’s youth for the challenges they will face in shaping the future. The visual arts are essential to a high-quality and balanced education. Additionally, did you know that most children and youth spend 10 hours per day in front of screens composed of pictures and words, often two types of screens at once? And did you know that 1.25 million Americans currently work in the visual arts and such jobs are predicted to increase by 43% by 2016? Also, art education equips students to form mental images, which can be used to solve problems – an ability that chemists,

  4. engineers, and architects use to create models and that inventors use to think up new ideas. Additionally, art education requires students to use their eyes and hands to give form to ideas generated in the brain – a discipline that Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel proved boosts brain power. And, just one more bonus to art education? Research shows that art programs help keep in school those at risk of dropping out.

  5. And finally.... the icing on the cake...More Lessons the ARTS Teach: • The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer. • The arts celebrate multiple perspectives and ways to see and interpret the world. • The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects. • The arts teach students to think through and within a material. • The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said and express how they feel. • Participation in the arts in education consistently results in higher test scores in all other areas.

  6. Now... SUMMARIZE what you have learned! • What are the main points? • What results or conclusions did you come to?

  7. Yay! You did it! “The arts are not time off from academicsbut accelerators to learning.” —Dr. Richard Siegesmund Information taken from the NAEA website January 22, 2011. http://www.arteducators.org.
