"Toward civilization: A Report on Arts Education"

"Basic arts education aims to provide all students, not only
the gifted and talented, with knowledge of, and skills in the
arts. Basic arts education must give students the essence of
our civilization; the civilizations which have contributed to
ours and the more distant civilization which enrich the
world as a whole. It must also give students the tools for
creating, for communication and understanding others
communications and for making informed and critical theory,
and ideas of the arts as well as creation, production and
performance."
