Art Advocacy
If you share what you do and why
you value art with others you will increase the support for art education over
all. A very important part of art advocacy is simply making your case… have
your art advocacy speech prepared for those times you are asked or just want to
talk about the importance of art education. Some areas of interest that might
be importance to others are; how art education benefits your students using
personal stories, current data and research that backs up your personal
stories, important people who use art in their jobs such as Steve Jobs/Apple
Computers and Pixar, Walt Disney/animator, Ralph Lauren/designer, I. M. Pei/architect, Paolo
Martin/Automotive design, Vera Wang/Fashion Designer.
Just by sharing a list
of influential people and
creators who all value art and use art in their careers you help others see the importance art plays in our everyday society. You
will be an Art Advocate!
