1. 3 specific ways that the arts help to engage learning:
1. Learning to have an exploratory mind (being able to grasp artistic and understand)
2. Taking things out of context and putting it in a new context (generating new ideas)
3. Execution ( making ideas come to life)
2. Best purpose for education (structured institution)
The best purpose for education is for personal enrichment and self-enlightenment by gaining new knowledge. Education helps the individual know how the world around him works, learn multiple subjects, and to be able to function well in society. Individuals experience different environments and opportunities; they learn how to interact with a diverse community and expand their minds. Education provides people with a well rounded understanding of a global society and how they can successfully contribute.
3. Best purpose for art education
The best purpose for art education is to strengthen their observation skills to understand the world around them. Those who have an art education are more willing to take risks and solve problems from different perspectives. Being creative is not only for the visual arts but also applies to the work force and the world. Individuals that have strong critical thinking and imaginative skills are more likely to envision the answers to future dilemmas that will occur in our global society.
