Benefits of
arts education In addition to economic benefits of investment in
arts education
for students in the primary and secondary sectors there are a plethora of social and intellectual benefits: • encouraging self expression and self awareness • building confidence and self esteem • thinking creatively and conceptually • problem solving •
increasing motivation and improving behaviour • developing organisational skills • being able to work collaboratively and independently • developing multiple learning styles • building maturity and
appreciation • developing observational skills • raising global awareness and respect
for other cultures • promoting literacy through analysis and interpretation •
increasing enjoyment and fun in learning • developing spatial and visual skills • encouraging qualitative awareness • seeing different perspectives • openness to subtlety, nuance, flexibility and imagination
In an effort to
increase awareness,
appreciation and engagement with the
arts and the local community, TreeCasa has created the Artist Residency and Volunteer & Visioneer Programs as a place
for visitors and residents to connect, learn and co-create.
