The
visual arts are part of the "basics." They communicate forcefully
and directly. Students who learn the symbolic structure
of the visual arts can respond to and symbolize their experiences
in ways that are not dependent on the coding and decoding
of verbal language. These skills are especially important
in the American culture where information is transmitted
both visually and verbally. Experiences in the visual arts
lead to the formation of enduring attitudes, values, and
satisfying accomplishments.
