Students twirling in synchronized rhythm on the dance floor. Multicolored paints splattered on a canvas. Aside from allowing students to express their creativity, arts education is beneficial for them. Studying music, dance, or painting in school can increase learning in other core subjects and can improve math and reading skills. Arts education also allows students to practice working together, which raises their self-esteem and helps develop critical thinking and leadership skills. Whether it's learning to play the jazz trombone or painting the next Mona Lisa, the benefits extend far beyond the world of art.
