Not just drawing and painting, but Theatre. Dance. Industrial Arts. Band. Choir. Guitar. Piano. Printmaking. Digital design. And more.

WHO GETS AN ART EDUCATION?
Because school budgets are primarily funded by daily student attendance,
smaller schools tend to have fewer art classes available to students--or no permanent art teachers/classes at all.
Prop. 28 funds may not be enough for these smaller schools to hire an art teacher onto their teaching staff, but a solution for for bringing arts educators into these smaller schools is to contract with teaching artists. These Teaching Artists come into the classroom for a period of time, usually a semester or less, and work with students to share artmaking processes that they have expertise in.
For more data on school and district art teacher-student ratios, school and district year-over-year art teacher increase or decrease, and other metrics, see this arts education data from CreateCA.
