The necessity of art in education is the function of art as both an explorative and a communicative device. Art encourages exploring our sensory motor responses as well as directing our creative impulses in ways that become an articulation of an explorative journey. Through an understanding of the medium and the processes that involve an artistic activity, the person develops skill and technique to express the structure and evolution of their ideas. Art becomes the product of a learning experience through the person. The learner becomes the subject and the viewer.
