Do your children enjoy making crafts at home or playing with various media?

Children who study the arts work better in team environments. Studying the arts also leads to better understanding of other subjects, and in fact, the study published by the Arts Education Partnership and the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities called Champions of Change concludes that a high involvement in art education results in greater success in standards tests, reading, history, geography and citizenship.
