Recognize Dulles Middle School art students for participation in Youth Art Month
Executive Summary
Dulles Middle School students in Ms. June DeMarsico’s class have displayed their artwork in City Hall during April as part of Youth Art Month, an annual observance each spring to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs. Youth Art Month was created in 1961 and is administered by the Council for Art Education. The City Hall exhibit includes photography, collages, paper illusions and masks. Art education develops self-esteem and self-expression, as well as appreciation for the work of others. It also develops critical thinking skills that will be important as children continue their education and as they enter the working world. Our fast-changing environment will require that future leaders - today's children - be creative and imaginative in problem solving. These skills are learned best by students involved in art.
