Students of District One must fulfill the seven credit requirements of elective classes in their four-year career. 

At Chapman, there is an opportunity for over 50 classes to choose from, one of which is art. 

Art is recommended for students, rightly, for its beneficial qualities. 

Creating art daily is proven to help people both mentally and physically. One block a day, five days a week, supports one’s self-care and mental health. 

Art gives students a chance for people to express their emotions through creation. If someone is stressed or upset, they can produce a piece that resembles those feelings, and in turn, help ease them.

Art gives one time to use their imagination, a chance to engage with what is around them.

Art allows one to relax and focus on creating. 

In a time when students are more stressed than ever, art can serve as a very healthful class. Not only does it have numerous advantages, but Chapman’s art department also has amazing teachers.  

The therapeutic benefits, ability to help process emotions and enhancement of brain function sum up to the fact that students should take art.
