National Arts in Education Week Day 4 - Art

Happy National Arts in Education Week! Each day this week, the EPISD Spirit Ambassadors will be recognizing a different form of the Arts that happens in our amazing district!  

Day 4 - Art

Art education connects students with their own culture as well as with the wider world. Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness. Visual arts teach learners about color, layout, perspective, and 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.
