A new bill introduced this session, HB10-1273, aims to strengthen the requirements for Arts education in Colorado schools. If passed, this bill would require that all Colorado public schools offer classes in visual and performing arts, and all high school students would be required to take some arts classes. If you’re interested in reading about the effects of the Arts on education, the State Publications Library has a number of publications that address this issue. These include:
- Arts Learning in Colorado: More than an Elective
- Everywhere You Look
- Colorado Academic Standards: Drama & Theatre Arts
- Colorado Academic Standards: Dance
- Colorado Academic Standards: Music
- Colorado Academic Standards: Visual Arts
