THE NEW ARTS EDUCATION

Over The past decade, a new way of thinking about arts education has taken hold, which differs significantly from the limited activity that most adults remember from their own schooling. Based on substantive and rigorous content, the new arts education develops the very capacities that business leaders, educators, and parents want the schools to provide our children: creative problem-solving, analytical thinking, collaborative skills, and judgment.

In the new arts education, child ren learn to convey ideas, feelings, and emotions by creating their own images and performing dance, music, and drama. They learn to decode and understand the historical and cultural messages wrapped up in works of art. They also learn to analyze, critique, and draw reasoned conclusions from what they see and hear’ i.e., to reflect on the meaning of their perceptions and experiences. The demonstrated achievements of the new arts education have brought it recognition in areas that are today defining education for both students and teachers.
