In Gilyards article he starts off talking about visiting elementary school students who are in a creative arts program. In the program they do singing, dancing, poetry, and oral interpretation. Activities that occur less and less in schools. The article continues to talk about the program being cut and that the students will be doomed. Same in the NEA article, the MAS program would be cut. which was a very successful program that had graduated ninety-seven percent of the students who had participated in the program. Taking away these programs have had a negative affect on the k-12 curriculum. Such classes are good for students, to teach them to think one another level beside just learning math and science which is good. But creative art classes are good for students who enjoy the classes, they learn better when intrigued and captivated. These articles are important because they pertain to our main topic of k-12 curriculum changes, whether it needs to be changed or something added to it.
