celebration!
What Is Youth Art Month?Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs.Youth Art Month provides a forum for acknowledging skills that are fostered through experience in the visual arts that are not possible in other subjects offered in the curriculum.Youth Art Month is sponsored nationally by the Council for Art Education, Inc. and is endorsed by the National Art Education Association and here in New York by the New York State Art Teachers Association.
Youth Art Month Purposes are: 1.To direct attention to the value of art education which develops divergent and critical thinking; multicultural awareness; and technical, communication, and expressive skills.2.To increase community, business and governmental support for art education.3.To recognize art is a necessity for the full development of better quality life for all people.4.To expand art programs in schools and stimulate new ones.5.To increase community understanding and interest in art and art education through involvement in art exhibits, workshops, and other creative ventures.6.To provide additional opportunities for individuals of all ages to participate in creative art learning.7.To encourage commitment to the arts by students, community organizations, and individuals everywhere.8.To recognize art education as a viable component in the total education curricula that develops citizens of a global society.9.To reflect and demonstrate the goals of the National Art Education Association that work toward the improvement of art education at all levels.
YAM is much more than just a flag design contest and art shows. Now, more than ever, the need is crucial to showcase the value of the visual arts throughout your schools, communities and the state and engage all stakeholders in celebrating the value of art education in grades K – 12!
Make your YAM celebration count by submitting your report, using Google Forms, to the state chairs by June 1, 2020. The data from reports are compiled into our NYS YAM report filed with the Council For Art Education.Reports are judged according to a rubric for national ranking.
