Studies Show Need for Art Education
http://www.truthout.org/061609EDA
Jacqueline Trescott, The Washington Post: "Two separate national surveys
gauging youth and adult participation in the arts reported yesterday
that visits to art museums are declining. A study of nearly 4,000
eighth-grade students, part of the National Assessment of Educational
Progress, found dwindling field trips over the past decade. 'The
percentage of eighth-graders who reported that they visited an art
museum or gallery with their classes dropped from 22 percent in 1997 to
16 percent in 2008,' said Stuart Kerachsky, the acting commissioner for
the National Center for Education Statistics, which administers the
assessment."
