Well to many Murkland students, the arts matter. A lot.
On Friday, October 23rd, Murkland students shared why the arts matter to them. This project was inspired by MASSCreative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth art programs in Massachusetts. Arts Matter day was designed to highlight creative programs in motion and their relevance in young lives around the state.

Scroll down to see Murkland students' amazing answers.
"Arts Matter to me because we can build a lot of things"
"…without art we won't have school, furniture, and that matters too!"
"….because I like to draw and have fun!"
"….because without art there is no color."
"…the world looks beautiful. I love Art because that is my life."
"…art and music help show my feelings."
"….the world without art would be EHHHH!"
"…when I grow up I want to be an art teacher."
"…it's fun and you got to be creative."
"…the earth won't be fun without paint."
"…we won't have clothes in this world or schools."
"…without art in the earth it's just EH."
"..art is fun and without it we can't paint colors."
I know art isn't everyone's favorite subject, but I firmly believe that expression, no matter it's form, is a key factor in emotional development and a meaningful school experience. My belief was reinforced by my endlessly inspiring students on Arts Matter Day. Thank you Murklanders!
