U.S. House of Representatives declares September 12-18, 2010 National Arts in Education Week September 9, 2010
Did you know that the United States House of Representatives has declared the week of September 12-18, 2010 as National Arts in Education Week?
With this declaration, the House is recognizing that arts education, including the disciplines of dance, music, theater, media arts, literature, design and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and balanced education for all students.
This is the first time the U.S. legislature has formally recognized the intrinsic value of all art forms in education.
Maria Van Laanen, vice president of communication and external relations for the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, Wisconsin, believes the announcement comes at a crucial time as students return to the classroom.
In a press release posted on BroadwayWorld.com this week, Van Laanen says, “One of the really interesting things this resolution does is recognize trends that educators already know, that arts education enables students to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, imagination and creativity, discipline and alternative ways to communicate. All of these traits support academic success and help students grow as individuals and as members of our community.”
The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center supports this key element in a child’s development through its many programs.
