If every child in the world only thinks about scoring in math or science, then who will become a talented musician or painter? There is a world beyond the mathematical equations and scientific principles. A world of arts where only the creativity and talent matters. Famous scientist Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Imagination gives rise to new ideas that will bring changes in the world.
It is believed that most of the advanced technologies of today’s world were depicted by the artists’ of ancient times. Leonardo da Vinci painted flying machines centuries before Wright brothers invented the world’s successful airplane. So there is always a world of imagination that outwits the world of technology. Articulating art education in the educational system will provide a strong foundation for the personal growth and development.

| Art Education |
According to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, arts education is considered as a core subject in the academic curriculum. But is it given that much vital importance as stated in the NCLB? Unfortunately the answer would be no. Even though every individual believes that arts education hold a great importance in the academics, the time spent for art classes in schools has decreased. Since there are no tests conducted for arts subjects like music, dance, painting etc, school authorities are cutting down the timings for those classes. Arts education improves motivation, concentration and inspiration among the students.
The Arts Education Partnership (AEP) is such an association which has a long term mission of providing high-quality arts education for every young person in the country.

In addition to the role of an arts teacher, they can even choose the career as art critics, administrators, etc. Arts education offered in the schools require highly passionate teachers, who can challenge the students to express their creative ideas and thoughts.
