DIGEST: This resolution proclaims March 2015 to be Arts Education Month and encourages all elected officials to participate with their educational communities in celebrating the arts.
ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:
Arts education, which includes dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts, is an essential and integral part of basic education for all pupils in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1 to 12, inclusive.
The arts are crucial to achieving a state educational policy that is devoted to the teaching of basic academic skills and lifelong learning capacities with the goal of truly preparing all children for success after high school regardless of gender, age, economic status, physical ability, or learning ability.
Arts education in California is mandated for pupils in grades 1 to 12, inclusive, by Education Code Sections 51210 and 51220 to provide that the adopted course of study shall include instruction in visual and performing arts, including instruction in the subjects of dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, aimed at the development of aesthetic appreciation and the skills of creative expression. Also, the arts are recognized as part of a quality education, and the University of California and the California State University have instituted a policy that includes visual and performing arts as college preparatory subjects for all high school pupils wishing to enter California’s institutions of higher education.
Many national and state professional arts education associations hold celebrations in the month of March, giving California schools a unique opportunity to focus on the value of the arts for all pupils, to foster cross-cultural understanding, to give recognition to the state’s outstanding young artists, and to enhance public support for this essential part of the curriculum.
This resolution proclaims the month of March 2015 as Arts Education Month and encourages all elected officials to participate with their educational communities in celebrating the arts with meaningful activities and programs for pupils, teachers, and the public that demonstrate learning and understanding in the visual and performing arts, and urges all residents to become interested in and give full support to quality school arts programs for children and youth.
