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 believe that creative arts education help children develop

different skills and abilities. Such as, make sense of their
cognitive, physical, emotional, language, and moral
development by enhancing the whole curriculum. For example,
holding a paintbrush with a crayon, are essential to the growth
of fine motor skills in young children. Also, while making art,
children talk about it which provides language development by
learning new words about
Colours, shapes and actions.
