The arts provide students with important opportunity to enrich their recreation and leisure. Students who are educated in the arts develop the capacity to understand and appreciate and enjoy art work and performances. A quality arts education motivates students to seek opportunities to respond to live and recorded art which can expand and enrich their lives. Arts education also aids students in skills needed in the workplace: flexibility, the ability to solve problems and communicate; the ability to learn new skills, to be creative and innovative, and to strive for excellence.
