1. Of the Eight reasons listed in Chapter one (pages 1-10 in text) for reasons that art is important in a child’s P-6 education, please explain which one or two that in your opinion are the most valid due to your personal experiences or observations.
Art education teaches students the skills needed to meet the national needs. Art education also teaches students general and artistic creativity. The first one stood out to me, because I like how it stated that our nation needs citizens who can think for themselves, which is very important. In my experience, people like to be told exactly what to do instead of having wiggle room for their own creativity. We need creative people in the world to create, problem solve, and critically think. We need citizens who will think for themselves and use their skills to better our nation. The second one stood out to me also because in my observations, kids aren’t getting the chance to portray their feelings, and emotions into art. This understanding of arts, allows kids to see multiple perspectives and create a desire to explore. Kids need to feel ownership over learning, and art gives them that opportunity. The skills taught in art with give kids the chance to develop their own creativity, which will help them in all other subjects. It will allow them to critically think in math, think deeper in reading, among many other added benefits.

Why these paintings are important depends on who is answering the question. A scientist might answer differently than an art professor who might answer differently than a random civilian. The importance is in what each person gains from these drawings. A scientist can analyze and learn about who lived there and how they looked and acted. This was shown by the analysis of the red hand prints and the

For instance, discuss what was taking place in the artist's city, country, and/or church that may have provoked a reaction from the artist or the greater society.

Art education is often underestimated by many who believe that school was created to teach only analytical concepts such as mathematics and literature. However, research has shown that art courses are important, even necessary for students in elementary, middle, and high schools. These art classes may include not only visual arts but performing arts such as dance, theatre and choir. Barbara Streisand said, “Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for the truth,” (Quotations). Streisand points out that there are multiple benefits to art whether it be painted by a brush or sung from the heart. Art has the ability to allow people to see situations from

Art Education is very important for students. A growing body of research suggests that the arts offer students a unique, valuable way to grow intellectually, socially and emotionally. These things are all associated with creativity. Schools today want to focus more on the four core classes math, science, english, and social studies which is acceptable for some students who are academically stronger in school. Opposed to the students who have a harder time focusing in school and we see them drawing when they need to be taking notes. Creativity today has become less and less more visible in classrooms in America. Due to the expansion of technology people see that it takes less time to look an idea up on the internet rather than taking the time to come up with something original.
