WHY STUDY ART?

Art learning is important for every human being. Children all over the world draw long before they write, in fact, writing would never be able to develop without first understanding pictures as symbols.

Human beings are wired to be creative and yearn to develop skill. All of the arts offer a rich and varied array of rigorous learning opportunities for kids and adults.
