Accessible Arts believes that through the arts, children develop critical thinking skills, take risks in a safe environment and experience successes. The challenge of creating something of value instills hope and self-confidence in children.
"Studies have shown that music is linked to successful math study and that the arts in general stimulate cognitive abilities. Learning about the arts also teaches children about other cultures.
"Young people learn self-discipline and how to stick to a task when they learn to play an instrument, to raise their voices in song, or to paint or draw. They learn self-confidence from producing something of beauty or from performing in a play or at a recital." Kansas City Star editorial July 16, 2000 |
