Think about where you have seen art? Can you think of an
art project you seen in the last year, month, day? How
about in this room?
Have you ever heard.

A
rt is not a legitimate type of work!
Youll never make any money if all you do is draw
Thats nice, but being an artist will
get you no where
The arts field is too
competitive. You need to have
realistic goals.
There arent much career opportunities for artists
Actually...
The arts have been proven to boost self-confidence, general academic performance and success in
subsequent careers.
(Honolulu Civil Beat magazine)
Art teaches children how to engage in creative problem solving.
Art teaches children that there can be more than one solution to the same problem.
Art teaches open-ended thinking. It presents a culture of questions rather than a culture of answers.
( Prescott Art Docents )
And
Artistic skills open up a wide range of career
opportunities.
