Promoting the arts to youths.
Art education is an important aspect
of providing youths with a well-rounded formal education. Art
education involves exposing children to artwork, and providing them
with an outlet to express themselves in a creative manner. This can
include art classes in primary school, where children are exposed to
drawing, the color wheel and collage works, field trips to art
galleries and exhibitions, as well as exposure to mediums such as
photography, screenwriting and woodcarving.
Youth Art Month is an arts program
that runs annually in March with the purpose of promoting the arts to
young people. The program runs activities such as a school flag
competition, where students across the country are encouraged to
design a flag that features a key element of their state's history
(source).
National museums can organize school
field trips for primary and secondary school students. They can also
curate themed collections (for example, a collection for an annual
holiday or anniversary, such as the end of World War II or a National
Day celebration).
Governments can also provide funding
for school programs that promote the arts, and create scholarships
for arts programs.
