Why is Arts in Education important?

Arts in Education has been shown to improve both literacy and critical thinking skills resulting in improved performance in other subject areas. Learning through the arts also promotes the notion that there can be more than one solution to a given problem, more than one answer to a question. This type of thinking is rarely addressed in other curriculum areas yet is foundational to many of the skills deemed crucial for success in the 21st century - innovation, problem-solving, and creativity among them. These skills are critical not only in the arts but in a wide variety of subject areas beyond the classroom.
