THE HOME. Since art has to do with the selection and arrangement of objects, the home
definitely benefits. Art teaches us how to make the most of what we have, how to harmonize
things pleasingly about us.



 It is well to take something made by the children and use it in
 the home, as for instance a ceramic piece, a hooked rug, block printed
 textile or drapery, book ends, etc. A painting by the child can be
 matted and framed and put up on the wall. Children can learn to
 arrange flowers and table settings. Hobbies can be carried on at
 home involving the interest of the whole family.






THE COMMUNITY. The community benefits by art in the improvement of buildings and
 business structures. Design can be applied to city planning in various ways.



 A good art program in the schools can equip people with the
 ability to apply creative thinking to their homes, businesses, and
 jobs.

 By raising cultural standards in consumption and production,
 business benefits.


 Creative art may be used in the solution of behavior problems and
 in helping those who are academically retarded, physically handi-
 capped, or emotionally unstable.
