Reflections on Observation Task 3: Supporting Learning
through the Performing 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?

That is so important because if the child, for example, does not have a
toy he will try to create a toy like recycling something and also this will
work in the class if they are playing in some areas and they don't have
enough materials they will try to creat it.

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.

yes, it is so important for the children, and the teacher can

develop that by giving them independent explore and this
will help to build the scientific reasoning and the other things
can help to develop the creative thinking and reasoning are
imaginative play and classification games.

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 art can encourage the students to attend the school

because they will study and will have fun , they will learn
how to solve problems through the dance, music, theater
and art-making skills.
