The Youth ARTS Development Project

 

Study of a delinquency-prevention collaboration among federal agencies, national arts organizations and three local arts agencies in Georgia, Oregon and Texas, designed to identify, implement, and refine effective arts-based delinquency prevention programs. Finds that providing youth with new skills, giving them the opportunities to use these skills, and offering them positive feedback and recognition for their hard work can potentially lead to healthier attitudes and positive behaviors. Written by Heather J. Clawson and Kathleen Coolbaugh; published by NEA and U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1995. http://www.communityarts.net/readingroom/archivefiles/2001/07/youtharts_devel.php

 

Research studies have convincingly shown that arts education comprises more than the mere study of the arts and producing works of art, but that it has also been beneficial to students in stimulating their intellectual and personal interests, as well as their social development.It is for this reason that arts education could be particularly useful to students who are having difficulties in learning and concentrating and therefore are caught up in a cycle of failure, experiencing a lack of morale, as well as repeating classes and dropping out.Through the arts experience these students may find that learning is possible, which could turn their academic performance around as well as help them to overcome their low self-esteem and to find social and cultural inclusion.

Studies: A Well-Tempered Mind: Using Music to Help Children Listen and Learn documents an acclaimed music and education program developed a decade ago by Winston-Salem Symphony conductor and music director Peter Perret. Written by Perret with arts and education writer Janet Fox, this charming story straight from the classroom begins as the program did in 1994, when five musicians walked into a first-grade classroom in Winston-Salem, N.C., instruments in tow. Without a word, they began playing, to enthusiastic response from the children. The program's aim was to try to improve the general academic performance of at-risk, economically disadvantaged children in a Winston-Salem public elementary school. Its intent was not to educate the children about music itself, but rather to use music as a means to learn. The results have been significant and thought-provoking. Published by the Dana Press.

Research: Arts with the Brain in Mind.
Arts with The Brain in Mind, written by neuroscientist Eric Jensen, explore research on the arts and its affect on learning. More information on this publication. http://www.artsed411.org/educate/research.aspx

 

New Research Reveals that Children Learn to Think Critically by Learning to Look at Art. The study is part of a larger nationwide initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) s Arts in

 

Education Model Development and Dissemination grant program to examine the value of arts education in

 

strengthening academic achievement and learning in elementary and middle school students, and to identify and assess

 

best practices. The Gardner Museum was awarded a grant of $750,000 in 2003 to fund a three-year study on the impact

 

of its multi-visit museum arts education program on the development and use of critical thinking skills in urban

 

elementary students in grades 3-5.http://www.gardnermuseum.org/press_releases/thinking_through_art_study.pdf
