The Tremendous Impact of Art

Art has so many positive things associated with it.  I wanted to take time to share some good news.  Art has a positive influence on the mind.  Art plays a role in helping with memory.  You can go online and see there are doctors that are on board with letting the world know this fact.  Doctors are seeing results with Dementia and Alzheimer's patients.  Art can more mountains and bring winds of change to any students life.  A student that is involved in the arts contributes volunteer work in the community 4X more than a student that isn't into art.  Students are 4x times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, participate in math and science fairs and participate in youth groups.  Additionally these same students are 3X more likely to win an award for perfect attendance and be elected to a leadership position in school clubs.  One other thing that most people might already know that the "student artist" reads for the pure enjoyment of reading twice as much or more then most students.  Art strengthens student problem-solving and critical thinking skills which leads to academic achievement and overall school success.
