Have you heard the news? Kids who take art classes do better in school. (At least in Colorado.)
Colorado high school students with more access to art courses did better at reading, writing and science, regardless of their ethnicity or socioeconomic status, according to the study funded by the Colorado Council on the Arts.
Too bad schools have constantly had to cut funding for art programs in recent decades. 53% of high school students do not take art courses. Maybe this study will be the beginning of change in our public schools.
