1. The arts teach kids to make good judgments about qualitative relationships. Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is judgment rather than rules that prevail. 2. The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer. 3. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives. One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. 4. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solving purposes are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity. Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds. 5. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition. 6. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects. The arts traffic in subtleties. 7. The arts teach students to think through and within a material. All art forms employ some means through which images become real. 8. The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a work of art helps them feel, they must reach into their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. 9. The arts enable us to have experience we can have from no other source and through such experience to discover the variety of what we are capable of feeling. 10. The arts' position in the school curriculum symbolizes to the young what adults believe is important. SOURCE: Eisner, E. (2002).

Some lie for profit or possessions, And some for lack of something else to do. But I tell lies that I might lie with you, Who otherwise were lost to me for sure: If you were lost, no poems would ensue, And this is what no poet can endure. Perhaps you think it easy to devise Fables to camouflage these lies of ours: You need imagination to tell lies, So, Aristotle calls them metaphors.

Elements of Design QUIZ Texture Form Color Value Space Line Shape 1- _________ - also known as hue. This word represents a specific wavelength found in the spectrum, ranging circularly from red to yellow, green, blue and back to red. Warm ones are red, orange, and yellow. They may remind you of a desert, fire or the sun. Cool ones are blue, violet and green. These cools may be associated with ice, mountains and cool grass. 2- _________ - a mark with greater length than width. They can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. Also known as a point extended in motion, with only one dimension - length. It has both a position and a direction in space. 3- _________ - a closed line. They can be geometric, like triangles and rectangles; or organic, like free formed or natural ones. They are flat (2-D) and can express length and width. 4- _________ - three-dimensional shapes, expressing length, width, and depth. Balls, cylinders, boxes and pyramids are these. Paintings usually have the illusion of this, made up of shapes with shading. 5- _________ - surface quality that can be seen and/or felt. They can be rough or smooth, soft or hard. They do not always feel the way they look; for example, a drawing of a cactus may look prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still smooth. 6- _________- area between and around objects. This area around objects is often called negative-_____. It can also refer to the feeling of depth. It is three-dimensional; in visual art when we can create the feeling or illusion of depth we call it this…. 7- _________- light and dark contrast on a scale, which moves from white to black. Colors have this also. Pretend you've taken a black and white photo or Xerox copy to figure out these white, gray and black color ranges. 7 - Elements of Design Color - Also known as hue.
