Question 1:
1) Creative Arts teaching increases language literacy- The reading and writing skills of students help for
example when learners are given the opportunity to create and write their own writing in drama.
2) It builds cooperation skills- Learners listen to other student's ideas and they learn to work as an
active member of a group to achieve a goal.
3) Creative Arts teaching improves mathematical achievement – Students studying an art form such as
music, get high marks in mathematics.
4) Creative Arts teaching encourage creative engagement in communities - Learners get more involved
in the community as performers and creators.
5) It develops and grows a student's self-esteem – Learners from disadvantaged backgrounds obtains
more self-esteem as they obtain confidence and a sense of achievement when completing a product or
performing successfully.
Question2:
*Visual Arts
This form of art is optical in nature. This is a nonverbal language that needs to be learnt just as any
language needs to be learnt. Visual literacy is a set of skills that helps a viewer understand and built
meaning form visual images. Students need to learn specific skills of the visual arts such as observation,
expressing their ideas visually, self-discipline and perseverance. When teachers facilitate young students
observations and discussions about painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics and other media, they
encourage learners to develop an understanding of the communicative power of visual arts. Visual arts
includes fine art (2D), sculpture (3D), applied arts (furniture, pottery) and crafts (cards, clay, glass).
Visual arts include drawings, designs, photography, architecture, paintings and sculptures.
*Dancing
Dance is the arts of moving your body with the rythm to the beat of music. Dance is use to express
, emotions, to perform for the audience, to interact socially. Dance can range from functional movements
such as ballet or folk dancing, to synchronized swimming, gymnastics, figure skating and martial arts.
Dancing is about exercising and to develop fitness.
*Drama
Drama is the art of performing a story of events (emotional, sad or funny) written as dialogue and
performing for an audience. Drama can be presented on a stage, on the radio or on TV in combination
with other art forms. It can develop writing and communication skills.
*Musical
Music is the art of arranging sounds to communicate moods, thoughts, emotions, impressions, religious
ideas or political concepts. The sound composition of music is nice and pleasant to the listener and
reflects a combination of harmony, melody, rhythm and timbre.
Question 3:
Two-dimensional (2D) is flat and has a length and a with but no depth or height. Examples of 2D art
includes paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, film, video, and mixed media.
Examples of how to create 2D art include the following:
*Drawing- It is the simplest and most effective way to communicate visual ideas. For centuries
charcoal, chalk,graphite and paper have been adequate tools to launch some of the most intense 2D
images in art.
*Colouring- Either you get black or white pictures or pictures filled with colours like the colour wheel.
*Etching- It is when you first apply a protective wax-based coating to a thin metal plate. The artist
thenscratches an image with a burin through the protective coating into the surface of the metal. When
this isdone, the plate is submersed in a strong acid bath, etching the exposed lines. The plate is then
removed fromthe acid and the protective coating is removed from the plate.
*Photographs- They are camera pictures and represent the present image in a static picture format.
They are therefore a representation of reality.
*Collage- It is medium that uses found objects such as newspapers or printed material, illustrations,
photographs, evenstring or fabric, to create new images. It also refers to works of arts (paintings,
drawings and prints that include pieces of collage within them.
Three-dimensional (3D) arts is observed in terms of height, width and depth. It occupies space through
the dimensions of height, width and depth. It embraces proportion and rhythm. It usually consists of
materials that can be molded, carved, fired, modelled, welded, carved or assembled through
construction. Examples of 3D art include sculptures, car
*Additive- Material is added or build up to create form such as sculpture, casting and modelling.
