Why Schools Must Incorporate More Arts Learning

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/education_futures/2016/05/why_schools_must_incorporate_more_arts_learning.html?cmp=SOC-SHR-FB 

Research has indicated that arts inclusion increases science and math comprehension. It has been documented that students not only enhance their creativity but also their linguistic skills and self-confidence when exposed to the arts. Schools all across the country are incorporating more art education into all subjects to aid students in becoming well rounded learners. Since traditional "art" classes are some of the first to take a hit when budgets are slashed, every other subject area can benefit from finding ways to create learning opportunities using visual, performing, and written arts.
