In the following sections, various qualities of the arts are investigated in relation to how these qualities benefit learners. This paper review the findings of various empirical research studies relating to the educational value that arts education holds for children and young adults, with reference to intellectual development, enrichment through cultural diversity, creative thinking, espousing noble ideas through arts, and arts as a means of non-verbal communication.
Keywords: arts education, intelligence, curriculum, culture, creativity.
