Arts: Music and Movement
Read the questions below and choose one to answer
1. The creative arts teach children that problems can have more than one

solution and that questions can have more than one answer. One of the
large lessons kids can learn from practicing creative arts is that there are
many ways to see and interpret the world. In your opinion, why is this
important and what impact does this have on education? Its helpful for
children because it makes them think to solve problems and be creative.
2. Creative thinking and reasoning have been identified and highlighted as an
essential twenty-first-century skill by many business, education, community
and government leaders. In your opinion, do you think that this is an
important skill for children to learn? Why or why not. I think yes because
the children will learn life skills and it makes them depend on themselves.
3. Some people view creative arts education as a luxury and do not help with
the building blocks of child development. In your opinion, what are the
benefits for children who are engaged in creative arts in school? The
children be creative with learn these skills.
