From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nA valuable list of contributions that we receive\/experience from the arts!!! Here are 5 of them:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To participate in the arts is to be fully human.<\/li>\n
  2. Art is a way of knowing and a form of communication.<\/li>\n
  3. The arts teach problem-solving, risk-taking, creative thinking, collaborative thinking, innovative thinking. Indeed all of the higher level thinking skills.<\/li>\n
  4. Art helps form multiple perspectives. It gives voice. It helps us identify and express issues that are global, common to all people groups.<\/li>\n
  5. The arts emphasize value.
