Eisner's 2nd Lesson that the Arts Teach ~ The arts teach children that problems can have MORE than ONE solution and that questions can have more than one answer. #YAM

This month is Youth Art Month - Why is art important? The arts teach children to make GOOD JUDGMENTS about qualitative relationships. Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is
judgment rather than rules that prevail. Eisner #YAM
