Why integration in schools is so important:
- Art instruction develops creative problem solving skills.
- Teaching through art can present difficult concepts visually, making them more easy to understand.
- Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, & inventiveness.
- VIsual arts teach learners about color, layout, perspective, & balance: all techniques that are necessary in presentations (visual, digital) of academic work.
- Integrating art with other disciplines reaches students who might not otherwise be engaged in classwork.
- Art experiences boost critical thinking, teaches students to take time to be more careful and thorough in how they observe the world.
- Art provides challenges for learners at all levels.
- Art education connects students with their own culture as well as other cultures throughout the world.
- Studies have shown that students who participate in art regularly are more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, participate in math or science fairs, or winning an award for writing an essay or poem.
- Studies have shown that students who participate in art have fewer diciplinary infractions, and have higher attendance rates, graduation rates, and test scores.
Pasco County Schools offer a wide variety of fine arts courses. Course offerings may differ from one school to another.
