  Transformative Education Through the Arts

  Katharine,

  
  

  I agree with your statement about catering for those children that aren't necessarily 'into' art based learning. However, I feel that it is a key part of a child's development to be exposed to all different forms of learning, including those styles that may be deemed a little bit more creative. It works both ways. To provide a rich and broad education for the children, they need to experience different styles of learning. The balance for this will be determined by the individual and their personal preferences and needs. Art education, I feel, is more of a downfall with regards to the teachers specifically. Many teachers will deliberately pay less focus on areas that they feel less confident in. Some, for example, struggle with MFL so this may not be incorporated as much as it would be with a fluent teacher. I think specific support should be provided in order to help teachers become more confident in both the logical and creative aspects of various teaching styles.
