Students can improve their creativity and critical thinking, by learning about art. Also, it can aid in the understanding of various cultures and viewpoints. Learning about art enhances the educational process while kids are in school and helps them get ready for life beyond school. Arts courses foster creativity and self-expression and can boost self-esteem and a person's sense of self.
