Importance of the Arts

  Think back to your own arts education as a child. You might have taken basic music and art classes in elementary school, or more structured ensemble groups like orchestra, band, choir, and theater. Maybe you took art classes at a community center. Respond to the following What art classes or experiences did you have growing up? How did these experiences shape your educational experience? In what ways did these experiences shape the way you viewed the world as a child and now as an adult? If you never had any of these experiences growing up, what types of music and/or art classes would you like to take as an adult and why?
