Visual and Performing Arts in Education

Option B: Visual and Performing Arts in Education The local school board is considering cutting funding to the arts programs in your school. Your principal was impressed with the tours you gave and would like you to write a report on the value of the arts in your school. As a passionate advocate for the arts, your report should highlight the great courses and extracurricular activities from your Week 1 presentation and explain why the arts deserve to be funded. Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you:

· Provide examples of both visual and performing arts, along with specific terminology from the course to describe how a person encounters the arts.

· Explain why the arts are important to our humanity.

· Include anecdotes from successful professionals (e.g., business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities) who explain why they are patrons of the visual and performing arts.

· Explain how the arts contribute to a culture of diversity.

· Include a reference page and format your references according to APA guidelines. Use a citation generator, such as the Reference & Citation Generator in the Center for Writing Excellence for guidance on formatting your reference list using APA format. Consult the References page on the APA Style website for assistance. Don’t worry about perfection. If you make a mistake, your faculty member can help, so please let your faculty member know if you have any questions. Ensure your assignment addresses the criteria in the grading rubric. Submit your assignment. Resources
