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?

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.

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?

I see that it's important to let the student to engage in art lessons, because in this lesson
they can show their creativity, in this lesson the teacher will know the student's Talents and
in what they are well.
