Art education is the study and practice of various forms of visual arts like painting, pottery, drawing, photography, mixed media, digital art, and sculpture. Art education is important because it’s a safe platform for communication, expression, imagination, cultural growth, experimentation, and exploration. It helps children to develop critical thinking, cognitive, problem-solving, and creative skills which are essential for success in school, work, and everyday life. There are some students who love art so much that they actually look forward to going to school just for the art classes. In collaborative art projects, children will learn the values of clear communication, teamwork, leadership, problem solving, and decision making as they work together with their classmates. Here’s an online art education resource library covering art organizations, art advocacy, art museums, art history, and lesson plans.
