Data on ACT takers show the same pattern, according to Richard Hessel, a principal with the Art & Science Group. “In 1997, 45,344 students specified visual and performing arts as an intended major,” he says. “In 2005, 60,666 stated an intention to major in visual and performing arts, an increase of 33.7 percent.”
Interesting disconnect. Just as the hue and cry is raised for more engineers and scientists, the clamor is for more art classes.
