Read the questions below and choose one to answer

4

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?
Students will learn much from these creative activities, they may be
improving their cognitive skills and their physical skills during their
movement.

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.
That will help students to understand the seasons and the clothes and
what they are wearing in each of 4 seasons. Students can improve in their
education and community in the same time while they are showing the
clothes relate to the seasons.
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?
With creative art students will be able to design their own in their clothes
and they may choose what they like and support themselves in this area,
so that can help them to be creative with the preforming arts.
