Nobel prize winning scientists study the arts. STEM is the buzz word in any discussion on education in America today. Art educators need to work to promote STEAM to include the arts. Far too often, with the merit of art in education in scrutiny, the default is to focus on copying the masterworks, at least roughly in technique. The real merit of art education is in teaching the process of creating. When a person draws relationships between the thing they are creating and the world around them, great discoveries are made both in fine art and other disciplines of learning. Process art (not processed art) is the future of art education and the proof of its merits can be found in a study from the University of Michigan, which shows a direct correlation between the worlds most successful scientists and their active engagement in the arts. STEAM will help sell the merit of the arts to everyone else. ow.ly/FW3ro
