We know that arts subjects can make unique, distinct contributions to each young person’s ability to imagine, create and communicate so that they become confident and creative individuals. Research studies point to strong relationships between learning in the arts and fundamental cognitive skills, and the capacity to improve other skills such as literacy and numeracy. In addition to studying the arts subjects for their own sake, experiencing, responding and making works of art benefits learners socially and can be particularly beneficial for learners from economically disadvantaged circumstances.
