The arts also :

teach children to make goodjudgments about qualitative

relationships.

- celebrate multiple perspectives -

showing students that there are many

ways to see and interpret the world

The arts also:

make it clear that neither words in theirliteral form nor numbers exhaust what we

can know. The limits of our language do

not define the limits of our cognition.

help children learn to say what cannot be

said. They must learn to reach into their

poetic capacities to find the words todescribe how the work of art makes them

feel.(source: National Art Education Association website -
