The Arts. Ask For More.
It came as a surprise to discover that most Africans actually understand the importance of arts education to their children. But what they may not realize is that their children are not getting enough.
Feed Your Kids the Arts
The arts are enriched with the stuff kids need to succeed. Just like kids need to have good nutrition on a daily basis, kids need to have their daily serving of the arts. Studies have shown that involvement in the arts helps kids increase test scores and promotes academic achievement. Kids who are involved in the arts are:
-
4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
-
3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools
-
4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair
-
3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance
Chances are, though, that your kids are not getting enough art—in or out of school. "The Arts. Ask for More." public service advertising (PSA) campaign is designed to educate parents and citizens on why the arts are essential to a child's development and empower them to get more art into kids’ lives, both in and out of school.
