Chapter 6
The Arts: Music, Art, Dance, Drama, and Phys. Ed. page

The arts provide an avenue
for expression, a way for a child to
create or express his or her response to life,
a way to give meaning to life. Children naturally express themselves
in creative ways. It’s as natural to them as breathing. If
we provide materials, space, lessons (when needed), and encouragement,
our children will do the rest.
The arts are part of what make us human. When we
listen to a piece of music, watch a play or movie, or attend a dance performance,
we have a chance to explore our feelings in a safe setting. We can
feel joy, sadness, awe, anger, fear, etc. We can identify with the
actors or dancers and see some of our own feelings acted out and see the
results of those feelings in action. A performance whether it is
drama, dance, or music takes us out of our usual sphere of reference and
gives us a new perspective, exposing us to a larger view of the world.
