WRITING 2 REPORT

THE ROLE OF CREATIVE SUBJECTS IN


COMPULSORY EDUCATION

Creativity is seen as a crucial part in human development. Nowadays, compulsory education


is being at market’s disposal; it is believed that everything that is studied has to have a
utilitarian aspect related to economical interests.
In the Spanish curricula, at least in public mandatory education, many artistic subjects are
still learnt such as general art, design, drawing, music or performing arts. Nevertheless, this
study fields are habitually relegated to the status of an optional course. In spite of this,
there are still some required courses including physical education, languages or even
technology that also can contribute in developing a creative thinking. These are many times
the more loved and expected courses on a teenager’s regular school day.
Thus, concerning the obligatory subjects, how do they improve creativity? By way of

fabrics by using them on final projects (e.g. making a wooden bird house). This is a clear

extremely relevant subject, now inside the optional courses category, is performing arts.
Theater helps not only to express ourselves, it is also proved to help cope with self-esteem
problems and with relationships.

In physical education, it could also be a good idea to include dancing. It would be very
nourishing to learn about regional, classical and also modern dances. As a project idea, it
would be substantially original to perform a group dance mixing regional with modern steps.
In addition, relating to languages, it would be nice to reinforce reading as it is a fundamental
way of widen imagination and, as a consequence, creativity. It would also be accurate to
enhance the speaking time and to include topics which could please the pupils. This can also
be a good way in cultivating critical thought.
In conclusion, arts and creativity encourage reflection and develop open and flexible minds;
taking creative subjects out of the curricula would mean turning the back on our humanity.
We should keep in mind that leisure and entertainment, as a part of creative activities, are
