Everyone possesses creativity and there are many opportunities within the school system where this creativity can be nurtured and explored. Studies have shown that art enhances self-esteem, develops problem solving skills, improves motor function and generally sharpens the senses. With art, there is no one right answer, and everybody will have a different approach and outcome. It is the one place where diversity is valued and celebrated. No matter what a student's background, previous achievements, ability or disability, when they engage in creative expression, there is an opportunity to unapologetically be themselves.
