[quote=Anonymous]Exploring the Benefits of Art in Elementary Education

http://www.csustan.edu/honors/documents/journals/elements/Flory.pdf

"Art in the elementary classroom has great beneficial effects on student learning by stimulating the multiple intelligences present in a typical group of students. Art activities can serve as a bridge to understanding for students; in addition, art has the potential to act as therapy for students with emotional issues. During early development, students who have difficulty verbalizing ideas can use art as an alternative way to express themselves. With the current emphasis on
standardization and high stakes testing, art has lost a place in the curriculum, to the disservice of the students emotionally and cognitively. Unfortunately, a typical classroom teaches primarily to visual and auditory learners while leaving others by the wayside. Effective use of art in the classroom can bridge learning across all of the multiple intelligences and benefit all types of learners."[/quote]
