4. WHAT IS ARTISTIC
LITERACY?
The knowledge and understanding required
to participate authentically in the arts
(National Coalition for Core Arts Standards:
A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning,
2014)
Requires to engage in artistic creation
processes directly through the use of
materials (e.g., charcoal or paint or clay,
musical instruments or scores) and in
specific grades (e.g., concert halls, stages,
dance rehearsal spaces, arts studios, and
computer labs).

5. It create environments and
conditions that result in improved
academic, social, and, behavioral
outcomes for students.
It provides students with an outlet
for powerful creative expression,
communication, aesthetically rich
understanding, and connection to
the world around them
BENEFITS OF LEARNING ARTS

6. The flexibility of the forms comprising the arts positions
students to embody a range of literate practices to: 
use their minds in verbal and nonverbal ways
communicate complex ideas in a variety of forms
understand words, sounds, or images
imagine new possibilities
persevere to reach goals and make them happen
"Being able to critically read, write, and speak about art
should not be the sole constituting factors for what counts as
literacy in the Arts (Shenfield, 2015)" 

7. EIGHT BENEFITS OR LESSONS THAT WE CAN
LEARN FROM ARTS
Form and content cannot be separated.
Everything interacts.
Nuance matters.
Surprise is not to be seen as an intruder in the process of
inquiry, but as a part of the rewards one reaps when
working artistically.
Slowing down perception is the most promising way to
see what is actually there.

13. ISSUES IN TEACHING
CREATIVITY

14. In his TED talk, Sir Ken Robinson (2013) stressed paradigms in the
education system that hamper the development of creative
capacity among learners. These are the ff:
Most useful subjects such as Mathematics and languages for
work are at the top while arts are at the bottom
Academic ability has come to dominate our view of
intelligence.
Curriculum competencies, classroom experiences, and
assessment are geared toward the development of academic
ability

15. Robinson challenged educators to:
educate the well-being of learners and shift from the
conventional learnings toward academic ability alone
give equal weight to the arts, the humanities, and to physical
education
facilitate learning and work toward stimulating curiosity among
learners
awaken and develop pwers of creativity amon learners
view intelligence as diverse, dynamic, and distinct, contrary to
common belief that it should be academic ability-geared.
