The benefits of art education are no secret. The most important advantage that the arts provide to my demographic of students is the proven leveling of the "learning field" across socio-economic boundaries. My kids reside in the valley of that field and they have a tremendous climb uphill. Many of my students are homeless and hungry. Others are placed in foster homes or are cared for by relatives while their single parent works. Others raise their younger siblings while their parents addictions go untreated. However, this does not define my students. They are a happy and kind group who manage to climb uphill despite their circumstances. They come to class everyday to learn and better themselves. They even make goals such as "This year I just really, really want to pass the Hawaii State Assessment." And they love art. And they deserve to have the opportunity to showcase their love of art and all that they've learned in math and science at the Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair.
