Should art education be limited to the teacher drawing on the board and children copying it? Should art education be boring exercises in colouring a given picture as is? No. Art education should not be a limiting but a liberating experience for the children. Here are some ways this particular art teacher excites her students.

Stories excite everyone. By now the knowledge that stories can be used to teach has also become very common. But what kind of stories should a teacher tell? How should she/he pick and choose stories to narrate?

What does drama do to those performing it? What do children get from drama apart from the obvious language skills and personality development? Performing in a drama is a unique experience for each child along with the learnings that they take away from it.

Drama is a priceless teaching aid for the language teacher. Reading, writing, listening and speaking–drama involves these four basic language skills and a lot more.

How beneficial storytelling is in the classroom setting we all know by now. What its uses are, the skills that it imparts, the impact that it has on the audience, etc. But what about what happens to the storyteller in the process?

The arts have always had to fight for their space in the curriculum. To justify the presence of the arts we talk about the value they add in our learning of the “more important” subjects. While it is true that we can learn math from the beats of the drum, language through song and science from works of art, perhaps arts should be taught not for what they do in service of other subjects but for the intrinsic value they bring to us as human beings.
