Cameron Bean, Importance of Arts to the Business Community Mr. Cameron Bean spoke to the class last week on the importance of arts in the Business Community. What caught my attention being an accounting major is the revenue and what it cost for the arts to run. Where how the arts programs wouldn’t be able to run without the help of corporations. The total economic impact of the arts community they found from a recent study that was 75 million dollars per year. The direct economic activity that is related to the companies around is about 45 million dollars and then there is 30 million dollars of multiplier effects from the money spent from local businesses as their evening out for maybe potential clients that they are trying to land.

According to US News, eighty percent of U.S. school districts funds, including Pinal County, have been cut. The first programs to get effected is art. Even though it is difficult to invest money into the art program it is greatly beneficial. If our community was more aware of all the positive outcomes of art programs Pinal County could stand out from other surrounding communities. People aren’t aware of the many benefits for art programs. The two major benefits for Pinal County is it improves education and the community business. For education art makes students want to learn and be more creative, improves academic performance, makes students come and stay in school, students learn good morals, help students learn many skills, helps with math, art develops the whole brain, and prepares students for the future. Art helps the Pinal County community by building the community, helping out local business, increases tourism, making the community stronger, it has a social impact, and it strengthens the economy.
There has been much speculation in recent years of who the tomb, KV62, was actually built for. Many believe Tutankhamun’s tomb was not his own and some evidence points to that. Since he died at the young age of 19, he may have been hastily interred in a tomb with funerary treasures and artifacts meant for someone else in his complicated family history. My recent trip again to the Western Valley and the remote tomb of Ay, (KV-23 or (WV-23), gives evidence of similar tomb decoration to support some of these theories.
The chapter on “Transcendental Origins” discussed the reform that took place in the American intellect shifting to a broader range of subjects including religion, philosophy, and literature combined. Transcendental roots reaching back to the eighteenth century, was subjected to Calvinist ideologies which comprised of concept of salvation coming only through God himself. Before being established as a field of study in America, philosophy was predominately of a religious matter. It was used to express the notion that nature is a source of insight into human experience, and to add, is that the world exists in harmony with God. R.W. Emerson, began to assess American spirituality, he as well as other prominent leaders, were convinced that the reputation of the individuals ethical and rational maturity was
“Palm Beach County, Fla. -- On May 26, 2000, 13-year-old Nathaniel Brazill shot his teacher, Barry Grunow, with a .25 caliber handgun in school. Palm Beach County prosecutors tried Brazill as an adult for first degree murder. The jury found Brazill guilty of second-degree murder and the judge sentenced him to 28 years in an adult facility. After his release, Brazill will face two years of house arrest and five years of probation.” (Klug)
Much too often in America today, modern music and art programs in schools are perceived to many as extracurricular activities rather than important subjects that are vital to a students learning and skill development. The truth of the matter is that encouraging music and art education in public schools has a much larger impact on student’s grades, academic performance, and the economy than the majority people realize. Within the next year city school budgets will be dropping by twenty five percent, and despite the fact that music and art programs have been showing a dramatic contribution to student’s learning, this substantial drop in funding for the programs will lead to no dedicated money for art or music programs (Mezzacappa). There is
Art programs in schools across the nation are in danger of being diminished due to budget cuts and lack of funding. Due to budget cuts, “... schools have been relying more on private funds and patrons of the arts to provide creative outlets for students” (Hambek). Because art is deemed as less important than other core classes, budget cuts that have been put into place almost automatically go straight to cutting funds for art
The decline in music education programs in public schools is a result of budget cuts is becoming more visible. State-level arts spending has dropped from $409 million in the fiscal year 2002 to $354.5 million in the fiscal year 2003, and declined again to $272.4 million in 2004 (“Quick Facts”). It is clearly
Many business leaders see participation in the fine arts as a plus in possible employees. Fine arts basic workplace skills such as self-discipline, teamwork, and even leadership skills. The 1996 magazine Business Week cites John Brademas, “Arts education is education that focuses on the ‘doing.’” This means that arts students actually apply the skills that they learn. When working on a piece of music or a play of some sort, fine
For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the
All around the United States, art programs are being cut out of the budget in public schools. The arts include dance, band, chorus, theatre, film, drawing, painting, photography and literary arts. Some school board members feel these art programs are not necessary and do not benefit the students in any way. Elementary, middle, and high school students are forced to quit their passion and feel that their talents are not supported by their schools. Although many are not aware, there is a strong connection between arts education and academic achievement. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts in many public schools, the art classes are first on the list to be cut. It is important that the students, parents and teachers
Schools that offer fine arts classes have lower dropout rates and raised attendance. The fine arts positively impact students of lower socioeconomic status more those of a higher status. The fine arts have no barriers for race, religion, and culture when it comes to being involved in the arts. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to be involved (Katy Independent School District). Without the arts these students have no outlet for creative capabilities and no way to express their talents. Students who need this way of expressing themselves are overlooked and they are the ones who need it the most (Dickson). When viewing the participation of arts in the eyes of a ten-year old, “It cools kids down after all the other hard stuff they have to think about” (Arts and Smarts: Test Scores and Cognitive Development).
The relationship between art and commerce has always been subject of hot discussion. Many people look at creativity as a vehicle for economic interest, while others view it as pure dedication for personal creative needs. The world as we live in today sees the creative industry, including visual and performing arts, sound recording, book publishing, and movie making, a highly commercialized global enterprise. People constantly buy and sell art products in a highly active market. Although it is difficult to conclude whether art and commerce is perfectly compatible or mutually exclusive, one thing is true, that the relationship between the two has not stayed constant throughout the history of art. From the early Renaissance period to contemporary and modern time, we see art gets intertwined with business more and more. There are multiple well known historical examples demonstrate the dynamic evolution of creative expression, though new system also brought challenges.
Most people would agree that music and art programs in schools have a huge impact on students not only academically, but in just about every aspect of their lives. Studies have shown that students who are involved in music and art programs have an overall higher IQ and show signs of many other academic benefits. Participating in such programs also allow students the opportunity to express themselves artistically and show the world their perhaps otherwise hidden potential. We all know how fun it can be to show the world your unexpected abilities, and what better way to show those off than the place where we spend most of our day-to-day lives? Unfortunately, even with all these obvious benefits, when the school budget is short, the first
Art, music, and other fine art classes are always the first things to go when schools have a budget cut, however, these things are important and necessary for children. It’s been proven that art not only to their creativity, but their academic achievements and advancements. On top of the academic and creative advantages, fine arts programs just mean a lot to some people. And it seems like the fine arts mean a lot to most students at Lewis Central High School. In my speech I’ll be focusing mainly on the art program. Now I don’t believe that our art program is at any risk of being cut, but I do believe that there are some issues that should be looked at, for example the lower classmen can take very few art classes, there are many outside art festivals and other opportunities that are not touched upon for those same lower classmen, and compared to other fine art programs the opportunities are minimal and the program itself is difficult to be apart of until later years of high school. I’ve been interested in art for as long as I can remember and recently, end of seventh grade to be exact, I decided to pursue it as a potential career, so I took as many art classes as I could. At the middle school, we were offered 1 art class a trimester and I was even lucky enough to be a teacher aide for Ms. Baker. I had the opportunity to enter contests and submit work to a festival, all in the span of one school year.
