Artistic Representations
Description
Engaging in the creation of art allows students to express their learning and their understanding in alternative ways, but, more importantly, provides a venue for them to be truly creative. When they are given opportunities to communicate their ideas artistically, not only do students learn more about the topic at hand, they learn about themselves, their culture and identity, as well as the larger world around them. The processes related to the creation of art include exploration and active learning, as well as the use of imagination. These processes enhance student understanding and engage their attention. As well, the opportunity to be creative motivates and connects students to subject matter in emotional, physical, and personal ways. Art supports the development of spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences, and promotes open-ended, nonlinear thinking. As students participate in meaningful artistic activities, they are better able to understand and appreciate the constant flow of images, sounds, and messages (e.g., art and media) that surround them.
