In 2009, the former State Superintendent of Arizona Public Schools said, "When you think
about the purposes of education, there are
three. We're preparing kids for jobs. We're
preparing them to be citizens. And we're
teaching them to be human beings who can
enjoy the deeper forms of beauty. The third
is as important as the other two." It is clear
that art needs to be introduced early and
then taught throughout our years in school.
