Throughout this lecture we concentrated on the question
‘What Good are the Arts?’ I believe the arts can show your own individuality
though expressions of the 5 strands of the Arts which are Music, Dance, Drama,
Visual and Media Arts. Through professional experience, I discovered that when
children do an Art form e.g. painting, they can only express themselves to
whatever extent they have within the classroom, for example, a teacher saying
you can only paint the picture in front of you the exact colour it should be in
real life e.g. a koala being grey. Children are therefore limited to feel the
colours that they enjoy painting with. As said by Anne Bloomfield (2000)
“Children are recognised as creative artists in their own right... ” (p. 2) to which
I believe they should be able to express their feelings through any type of art
form and not be given extreme guidelines as to what they have to do to conform
within society such as school.
