ROOM FOR ART
Why do we teach art in school? Many believe that art is the only subject where children are able to
express their "creativity" or "release their feelings". Others believe that art helps student learn better.
Still others think that the primary benefit of art is to provide children with something "fun".
The arts involve so many different areas. Art can be creating pottery, singing, playing an instrument,
painting a picture, ballet dancing, poetry reading or acting and drama. Art is much more than just
drawing a picture with crayons.
There are many different ways to incorporate the arts in the schools. Some schools can allow
professional artists to come on and share their talents and skill with the students. When finished
learning about a specific art, students can share what they have learnt in a performance or an exhibit.
