Art For Academic's Sake, Mary Pearson Milam
Art For Academic's Sake, Mary Pearson Milam
All Graduate Projects
Research demonstrates strong support for including art in the kindergarten through high school curriculum as a way of engaging the students and providing them with an education that encourages selfesteem, problem-solving skills, collaborative effort and academic success. However, with the focus on science, math, grammar and other curriculum areas, the arts are often ignored. This project therefore advocates the inclusion of art both as a separate subject and as a valuable learning tool in the content area classrooms.

A study has been made to select arts activities that will help enhance creativity. All children possess some amount of creative ability.

Activities in the areas of art, music, and drama are presented in the project portion of this paper and will be used as a handbook for elementary teachers.
