The document discusses Observation Task 3, which focuses on using performing arts like music and movement in the classroom to support learning across academic subjects. It includes a table describing two observed music and movement activities - one where students learned and performed a song and dance together, and another where they imagined themselves as fish moving to music.

Reflections on Observation Task 3: Supporting Learning
through the Performing Arts: Music and Movement

1. 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?

- Creative arts is a very important and interesting subject for the


students, it helps the student to develop in many different areas. As
we all know that our brains is considered of two parts (right & left).
We use our left brain in logical thinking and analytical processes,
which is what we learn at schools all over the years. Moreover, our
right brain is used in creativity, imagination and emotional
perceptions. This part of our brain is not used/ trained well in schools.
It appears that for the brain to be efficient, the two hemispheres of
the brains must work together equally, also its important for students
who faced difficulties in learning by logical things and need more
creativity in their learning. Creative arts improve creativity in a child,
help students to describe things in better way, more easily to express
their feelings without using words, they practices problem-solving
skills, critical-thinking skills, dance, vocabulary of the arts and more.
They have different ways to reach something or multiple solutions for
a question, school would be more fun to them. Help students to
interact with each other. Arts make students feel more confidence of
themselves. Arts develop cultural awareness in students. There are
more than 100 benefits of creative arts, and if all of the schools
around the world would appreciate it, it would make our students/
children be more creative and will increase intelligence on them.
