Learning through the Arts
Though dated (2009), the merit of arts education is explored by Fran Smith in the article below. She includes in her writing that "Art does not solve problems, but makes us aware of their existence". She goes on to include “involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork”. Finally she includes “when you think about the purposes of education, there are three main purposes: we are preparing kids for jobs, we're preparing them to be citizens, and we're teaching them to be human beings who can enjoy the deeper forms of beauty. The third is as important as the other two."

Learning at Museums
Learning at museums can support children and adults to understand the historical value and perspective of objects, respect diverse cultures and understand multiculturalism. Taking time to explore and walk-through museums gives everyone the ability to engage actively in the process of acquiring knowledge and to express thoughts and emotions with respect to their own and others culture and history
