  1. Ten Lessons the Arts TeachBy Elliot Eisner presented by Elizabeth Tumilty “Writers start with a vision and end with words, Readers start with words and end with a vision. Exposure to an arts education makes this process possible at both ends.” Elliot Eisner, Professor of Education, Stanford 2005 Grawemeyer Award in Education winner

  2. The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships. Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is judgment rather than rules that prevail. Leonardo DaVinci

  3. The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solutionand that questions can have more than one answer. Leonardo DaVinci

  4. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives.One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. Norman Rockwell, The Golden Rule

  5. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solving purposes are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity. • Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender and adapt to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds. Quilt from Gee’s Bend SC

  6. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor number exhaustwhat we can know.The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition. The human mind processes images 60,000 times faster than text Stefan Marcellus, Self Portrait

  7. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects.The arts traffic in subtleties. Rose Rushbrooke, Fractile Quilt

  8. The arts teach students to think through and within a material. All art forms employ some means through which images become real. Russell Wright

  9. The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a work of art helps them feel, they must reach into their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. Edvard Munch, The Scream

  10. The arts enable us to have experience we can have from no other sourceand through that experience discover therange and variety of what we are capable of feeling. Getty Stock Photo

  11. The arts’ position in the school curriculum symbolizes to the young what adults believe is important. Arthur Rome Richardson's "God Bless The Child"
