Education
An essential component of NAAP’s mission is education in several forms.
Training opportunities enable artists to hone or continue to hone their craft as practicing artists. In the arts, it is essential that artists continue to improve and nurture their skills and sensibilities. For the professional, maintenance and growth are needed to continually perform at a high level. For amateur and future artists, training develops sensibilities and craft that enable them to feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
For audiences and patrons, education in the arts enables them to better understand what is required in the creation of artistic work. Knowledge of specific crafts enables audiences to appreciate and discover their own roles in the arts as well as the role the arts can play in their own lives.
Arts education for children also builds an awareness of self and self-expression. The earlier children develop an artistic sense, the earlier they open the possibilities in their futures.
