ART makes us SMART Poster

Often art classes are dismissed as unimportant or "filler." The facts show the opposite. Research shows that students who take art score about 100 points higher on SAT exams than those who do not take art. Why? Art is the meeting place for all subjects. When we grid, measure, and draw—we use geometry. When we make sculptures—we use engineering. When we mix colours—we reveal information about physics. When we create illustrations for stories—we learn about literature. When we review the styles of art from da Vinci to Bansky—we teach history. Art is the meeting place for all subjects.

Even if you do not want to become an artist, the best lawyers, smartest scientists, top chefs, the most famous inventors, the most celebrated and successful people in every occupation have ONE thing in common: the ability to creatively solve problems! Art is the only subject that focuses on this.
