10 life skills the arts teach kids
Posted by Leslie Newell Peacock on Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 1:36 PM
What kids get from the arts that helps them in life, according to Phillips: Creativity. Confidence. Problem solving. Perseverance. Focus. Non-verbal communication. Receiving constructing feedback. Collaboration. Dedication.
Accountability.

Phillips is the author of The Artist Edge.
