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?

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.
