Without art, we would not be where we are today. Art helps us to understand and comprehend many things as well as show what is on our mind. It can be whatever you want it to be and I think it is very important to the learning perspective of life.
Art allows others to express what they are feeling in a personal way. It helps others come up with things that are original and in their own way. I agree with Ken Robinson where he says, “the fear of being wrong limits our creativity”. In the classroom, some students (as well as myself) have a question that could be very important to ask, but are too afraid to ask if they could be wrong. I know I would be embarrassed if I asked a question that everyone laughed at. Art helps this by interpreting just one question into multiple, different answers.
Ken Robinson also has said, “many brilliant people think they are not.” I find this so interesting. It makes me think that so many people think they are not smart because of how different their ideas are from others. Art definitely helps this because there is no “wrong” answer and it allows people to present what they think about something, which can enrich someone else at the same time with wonderful ideas.
“Kids don’t know as much so they think more”, is another excellent viewpoint of Ken Robinson. When we were younger, we didn’t know a lot about the world and we didn’t care what anyone else thought about us or our thoughts. We had the most creativity we will ever have because we thought of the craziest ideas that could never happen. Now that we are older and we know what is realistic and what’s not, we don’t even take the time to think those thoughts. It is truly amazing to think about. Our environment ruins this for us, which is why we need art in our life to keep part of ourselves.
