Achieving a balanced education is just one of the benefits of studying the Arts: Pupils gain important life skills as they learn the value of critical feedback, both positive and constructive. Drama and the performing arts allow an avenue to develop cognitive abilities that complement study in other disciplines. Working in the arts helps learners to develop creative problem-solving skills. Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness.
