From “Emphasis Art” by Frank Wachowiak and Robert D. Clements, one of their reasons why art education is important in the classroom:
“Celebrating ordinary experiences. More Americans go to museums than to sporting events. Over one million Americans call themselves artists. Communities and cultures make art because art makes everything special. When art celebrates ordinary experiences, these experiences take on new significance. By making events and things stand out from the commonplace, art transforms and reorganizes our concept of the world.”
“Aesthetic awareness. Art education heightens our awareness of nature, art, and life. Spider webs, cloud formations, Van Gogh’s sunflowers, and beautiful moments in daily life are experienced more vividly if we have been sensitized to them in art classes.”
