Cardinal Art 2010/2011: Bryan's Work

WHY DO ART?

Art helps us understand other subjects much more clearly- from math to science, to language arts and geography. It improves academic achievement.

Art nurtures inventiveness as it engages us in a process that aids in the development of self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation and self-motivation.

Art is a link to the past. It's a fun way to examine history.

Art encourages imagination. It shows students how they might express their own feelings and experiences through painting and drawing.

Art provides us with opportunities to create and DO, which can be a refreshing break from lecture and study.

Art is Necessary

The arts have helped prepare MIT students in business. An alumnus at a large New York accounting firm recently stated at an MIT alumni meeting that his firm interviews about forty MIT students every year. Of the ten they recently hired, four presented minors in the arts. The latter fact so significantly set these candidates apart from the others in terms of creative thinking, flexibility and presentation that the firm is now using the arts minor as a screening criterion
