• IT IS EASY TO IMPLEMENT: And it comes with Reference Guides for both Site Coordinators and Teaching Staff, as well as a two-hour Staff training DVD.
• IT IS A ONE-TIME SELF-SUSTAINING PURCHASE: There are no recurring costs, such as student workbooks or textbooks. All teaching and motivating is done using DVD’s.
• IT REQUIRES MINIMAL PREPARATION TIME: The manuals and DVD’s contain everything a teacher needs, including warm-up exercises, drawing aids, and artist chronologies.
• MATERIALS ARE SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE, AND EASY TO OBTAIN: They are clearly summarized in the manual and are shown on the video for each lesson.

• IT IS HIGHLY MOTIVATIONAL: Arts Attack utilizes visual imagery and video visits to peer-group classrooms to inspire students to achieve at a high level.
• IT INCREASES STUDENTS’ SELF ESTEEM: Feedback from hundreds of teachers has always emphasized the increased self-esteem and self-confidence that students develop as they work through their projects.
• IT’S FUN: Students have a great time as they discover that they can achieve results far beyond what they thought they could produce.
• IT DEVELOPS CREATIVITY: Arts Attack teaches to the right side of the brain, with a primary objective of developing overall creativity, intuition, and visual thinking and problem solving skills – benefits that will last a lifetime.
