A member of the debate team, Finley uses research to make her case. She cites statistics showing that <br />artistic involvement improves students’ scholastic achievement tests, spatial reasoning, and attitudes <br />toward school. She also notes that youth who participate in art are four times more likely to go to college <br />than other youth in their community. And, she says, art contributed over $262 million in overall impact to <br />Oregon’s economy in the year 2000.
