HOW THE ARTS ENHANCE EDUCATION
By Erica Zigelman
HOW THE ARTS ENHANCE EDUCATION
Erica Zigelman serves as a principal for the
New York City Department of Education.
Over the years, Ms. Erica Zigelman has also
worked as an adjunct professor for graduate
programs teaching leadership classes. Erica
Zigelman also served as a literary coach and
Teacher Center Mentor.
HOW THE ARTS ENHANCE EDUCATION
In many schools throughout the country, arts
programs are given secondary priority. With
decreased budgets and lowered funds, these
programs are often the first to go. However,
the arts enrich the educational experience
and provide real benefits to a learning child
in multiple ways.
HOW THE ARTS ENHANCE EDUCATION
For example, it has been shown that the
brain is composed of intricate neural
pathways that are dedicated purely to
attention. When focusing attention on playing
an instrument or learning a new skill, such as
painting, these attention networks
strengthen, and in turn enhance, cognition.
HOW THE ARTS ENHANCE EDUCATION
In fact, a direct cause-and-effect relationship
has been found between cognition and arts
education. When there is an increase in art
training, IQ scores increase by a calculable
percentage. While the study of this
relationship has only begun, we cannot deny
that exposure to such an education provides
benefits far past learning the art form itself.
