Summary:
In Strong Arts, Strong Schools by Charles Fowler he discusses how schools that have good art programs then in turn have a good curriculum (best schools have the best art programs). He then proceeds to discuss how the arts complement all the other subjects such as science, math, and history. Art gives students the ability to make their own decisions where as science mainly has correct ways to do things. Art tends to make students more attentive due to the fact that students have to make their own decisions and they can come up with multiple ways of coming to a conclusion instead of there only being one way to accomplish a task. Art also makes students more open-minded and makes them think deeper due to unanswered questions and different perceptions. Arts also bring in a multicultural view since art can be created universally. A final important note that was brought up in this article is that art brings out feeling and the schools that have better art programs have better schools because they address feeling which humans run off of.

Analysis:
I thought this article was interesting and really made me think. I could see that art may be beneficial to a student to help them open their minds and think in different perspectives, which is why liberal arts colleges incorporate art, music, or theater classes as part of its curriculum. I do not believe that the best schools have the best art programs. I personally have no artistic bone in my body. I am a science major so of course I think with reason which I believe is necessary for science. I believe it depends on your major to whether an open-mind through art is beneficial.
