What are the Real Benefits of Arts Education?
New research by Lois Hetland of Harvard Project Zero (Studio Thinking: The Real Benefits of Visual Arts Education) shows that art programs teach a valuable set of thinking skills that go farbeyond the techniques of drawing and painting. These skills – persistence, careful observation, reflection and revision, envisioning and planning, learning from mistakes,
and more – are useful in all subjects and in life. They may have significant impact on student learning across the curriculum.
