Art is essential to teach from the earliest stages of education because it nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving—foundational skills across all subjects. Art cultivates a unique approach to learning that connects deeply with subjects like math, science, and literature, reinforcing concepts through visual and hands-on experiences. For example, geometry finds practical application in sculpture, physics in painting techniques, and storytelling in visual compositions. Beyond academia, art education fosters innovation and adaptability, aligning with demands in the evolving job market. Fields like design, technology, and engineering increasingly rely on creative minds, highlighting how art provides skills and a mindset prepared for future challenges and opportunities. https://lnkd.in/eJQFP4qs

Unless the government choose to radically reform education's accountabililty system, the arts will continue to be squeezed out of schools regardless of funding. We treasure what we measure, and the Ebacc performance measure (Gove, 2010) prioritised core subjects, meaning schools focused on this at the expense of creative arts. Art GCSE entries have dropped by around 42% since then. Let's hope this current government curriculum and assessment review is a genuine attempt to make change #education #arts

Neil deGrasse Tyson and David Byrne speaking the truth about art education. Historical cultures are based on the legacy of art and creation. Without art, how do define our culture? Without art, how do we mark the differences in our generations? Support art every day, in your local schools, in your community, and abroad. "...art and science... are the only true things that we create that last beyond ourselves. Everything else, comes and goes." Art Education is about teaching creative problem solving that generational talents have used to change the world. https://lnkd.in/eFnWk7Xm

Wow. This is, at the same time, a brilliant statement about an essential issue and totally depressing and boring that we are even still debating the matter. Art is vital. Our culture is what makes us human. The short-sightedness of cutting arts funding anywhere, but ESPECIALLY in education is mind-blowingly stupid. Want a happy population, constructive society and thriving economy? Throw money at culture. Want a sad, stale, stagnant situation? Cut arts education. Read my recent articles for Sceptical Scot (which cite the excellent work by Campaign for the Arts) for my proposed solution. Cutting arts funding is like a business facing financial difficulty cutting marketing spend, stupid. Local, national and federal governments take note: sort this out now or watch our future spiral down the drain.
Artist David Shrigley has installed a giant preying mantis at his former school to raise awareness about the importance of art in education. Access to arts subjects is vital to a balanced and enriched education, yet enrolment to these subjects at GCSE has decreased by 47% since 2010. It's high time to address the state of arts education! Quoted in The Guardian.

Just gonna keep on highlighting this issue… it’s not going away. The impact is now hitting education - FE particularly very hard indeed.Senior management play a numbers game and it’s all about money not success of our young creatives. Low numbers and they will and are closing courses. Once closed these provisions rarely start up again. The outcome? FE will become creative wastelands. The industry will not be able to recruit the new generation. Industry.. this is happening now. It’s time to wake up. Be woke. Protect our industry’s future.

This article sums up what needs to happen. #arteducation
I'm incredibly proud to have been part of the team developing and launching this new campaign by the Royal Academy of Arts highlighting the crisis of art education and championing the value of art in our schools. Art education isn't just about becoming an artist. It teaches children to think flexibly, ask questions and think critically. It wakes up imaginations and builds confidence. It encourages children to see the world differently and to make their mark. The value of art in our schools is immeasurable and currently art education is in crisis. Art is a serious subject and we urgently need to bring it back! https://lnkd.in/ehjDVJKi
