As our culture grows increasingly dependent on visual imagery, we need to understand how the visual aspects of our world affect our actions and our interactions with the world around us. Students today are growing up in a highly visual world, surrounded by the images of television, videos, advertising displays, and other media.
Our students need to develop their visual literacy which is not reserved for the artist only, but for every truly productive person. Art is a foundation for effective visual literacy, which is the ability to use imagery; to perceive objects in space; to use and to comprehend graphic language such as maps, blueprints, drawings, and diagrams; to see visual order; to recognize symbols, excellence, expression; and to develop aesthetic appreciation.
Art concepts, identified and taught in a systematic method gives students highly developed skills in visual perception, skills which will enhance their potential to provide the world with creative, innovative thinking in all areas of study.
Art is an important discipline which embodies a wealth of universal ideas, values, feelings and technologies that have become a part of our culture and heritage. Through structured and sequential learning activities involving the creation and study of art works, students acquire the necessary visual literacy skills to understand, interpret and judge works of art.
Art education develops students capable of making sound aesthetic decisions in their lives and expands the dimension of their understanding to include what only art can offer the human experience.
