The 'easy option' has never been harder

“Art education has rarely been taken as seriously as other subjects in schools, and studying art is all too often understood to be an ‘easy option’”. Vanessa Jackson, RA.

Yet art teaches children to question. It wakes up imaginations. It builds confidence. It encourages children to see the world differently and to make their mark.

But making and studying art in our classrooms is getting harder and harder. A curriculum that focuses on core subjects at the expense of everything else means art is being sidelined in our schools.

It’s a short-sighted society that sees art as a ‘low value’ subject. Bring it back to our classrooms.

🎨

The case for art in our classrooms is clear. Join the cause, share the message, help us bring art back to where it’s needed most.

Art is a serious subject. https://roy.ac/bo7o7cwc
