- I am not good at art. I am very meticulous, and it takes me a while to finish a project--the end result is not very good...
After reading the articles:
- I wasn't aware A.E. wasn't used in the 70/80s.
- 44% of Elem. schools lowered art and increased math and reading instruction.

"Students flourish when creativity drives learning."
- I would agree. Students will be very willing to participate and will be involved in active and fun learning.
"Art increases writing skills and develops literacy and math/number skills."
- This is interesting to me. It goes to show that there does no need to be such a focus on JUST math and reading--there are other factors that should be considered.

- Wow. Sounds like all schoold should include art in their education. However, the higher scores depend on whether the students choose to take the art courses or not.
