A universal mode of communication, art promotes an essential form of thought. In an effective art education environment, students hone a broad range of skills, including active involvement in tasks, innovative and imaginative thinking, personal and interpersonal reflection, personal expression, gross and find motor skills, emotional skills, and cultural awareness. An education that does not include art is incomplete because effective art education teachers students to think for themselves, thus laying the foundation for lifelong learning.
In addition to life skills, students studying art gain skills that are directly applicable to disciplines such as drafting, marketing, counseling, photojournalism, cultural preservation, applied mathematics, design, crafts, and education as well as other disciplines. Students graduating from an effective art education environment should begin to understand the application of art both inside and outside of the arts perspective: the relationship between art and self, work-world, culture, history, and the development of community. An effective art educator understands the dynamic relationship art holds with every person, not just the artist.
