The Purpose of My Gold Award

For my Gold Award, I decided to attack the lack of  individuality and art in my community. I feel like suburban communities, such as mine, often lack a fundamental part of life. Art is extremely beneficial to the mind and soul. Numerous studies have shown that exposure to Art improves the quality of life, as seen in this article from Be Brain Fit: The Mental Health Benefits of Art Are for Everyone. This article explains how art can increases creativity, boosts self-confidence, promotes brain growth, makes children better students, and much more. The point of my gold award is to expose the students to art everyday that they go to school. I hope that the exposure to art will inspire them to be an individual and to expand their own creativity through art, bringing more art to normally, creatively blank areas of the world, like the suburbs. .
