In my point view, I think the creative art and the performing art is
important because it engages the children in the learning, enhance
and simplify the learning topics. It also helps children to understand
better than the average, typical learning lesson by including playing,
which facilitates the learning process in their minds as Lev Vygotsky
believed and many other educational philosophers. (McLeod, 2014).
2. Creative thinking and reasoning have been identified and
highlighted as an essential twenty-first-century skill by many
businesses, 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.
Yes, it is an essential skill and the reason it carries and plays important
role in developing the child, especially developing the personal field of
the child. Creative thinking and reasoning help the child to express his
thoughts, his abilities and build creativity in him, which eager,
motivated to do more and to be a successful learner who wants to
participate in each field and become the first in everything. It also
helps the child to build the correct and the solid self-esteem also
become a positive and useful for the society in the future.
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?
It is not a luxury thing; arts include playing having fun, moving instead
to being passive in learning. This helps the child to learn and in fact,
humans are active and curious learners in every field and every stage
of their lives. Active learning digs a and stick in your mind more than
just saving, reading and listening,
