Abstract

Arts education is important not only because of the fun of making art motivate young learners, but because the skills in perception and problem-solving exercised by arts instruction are integral to other disciplines. Margaret Walter-Baldwin, an art teacher at Blue Hill Consolidated School, says that the success students have in the art room can sometimes carry over into the regular classroom. Janice Marston, a teacher at Auburn's Sherwood Heights School, believes that art education can motivate students, which can be an effective way to teach.
