Fine Arts instruction found to have a positive effect on academic success.

A study done by Steven N. Kelly, Ph.D. has found that students who enroll in art lessons benefit in unexpected ways.  Continued participation in art classes was found to increase graduation rates as well as decrease dropout rates.

Unlike other academic pursuits, every student who participated in continued art classes received the same benefits, not just the talented students.  This positive by-product of taking art lessons shows up as higher math and verbal scores on the SAT, and positive social behavior.  According to Steven Kelly's study, there are few other areas in the typical academic curriculum that provides the same type of comprehensive overall growth and learning in the same way as taking regular art lessons.

Is your resolution for 2018 to bring more art into your child's life?

When deciding on New Year's resolutions, our minds typically go to the usual places - daily exercise, better diet, more sleep.  What if this year you decided to make your resolution to bring more art into your child's life?  

It's no secret that art is an important and valuable skill for children to learn, since it has been found to be an important factor in success.  It provides children with an unexpected and fun way to develop critical thinking and creative skills, skills which are necessary no matter what profession you choose.

For parents who have resolved to bring more art into their childrens' lives this year, check out this awesome article by Americans for the Arts on Ten Simple Ways for parents to bring more art into their kids' lives.
