        Reasons The Arts teaches Life Skills
        
        The Arts don’t focus on right or wrong
        
        Participation in the arts opens up our mind to the possibility that the world is full of colour and there is more than one way to achieve a goal.
        
        When the pressure of needing to find the right answer is removed, it becomes easier to take a risk and try - and trying is the only way to succeed
        
        The Arts are inherently Creative

        In arts education children are constantly being asked to try new things and think of alternatives.
        
        The emphasis on practice
        
        The arts environment encourages persistence through challenges toward mastery, a skill very much needed to thrive 21st century.
        
        Students who participate in the arts, they will not shy away from learning things in their adult lives that are challenging, or take lots of time and effort.
        
        The focus on feedback and critique
        
        Feedback is a constant part of the learning process in the arts
        
        Students will understand that feedback should not be taken personally, they know it is to challenge them to push beyond what they think they are capable of achieving.
        
        If we are used to seeing feedback as fuel for improvement, our natural reaction when receiving feedback will not be to make excuses, but to ask for more feedback about how we can improve our performance.
        
        The moment of success
        
        Each discipline within the arts has its own method of performance or presentation - an art exhibit, a play, a dance show etc
        
        A sense of accomplishment after all of their effort and practice and this translates into a strong boost of confidence and enhances students’ drive to continue learning and improving
        
        They become typically motivated to seek even more success
        
        The coping Mechanisms for handling stress
        
        Mental health is a growing concern in our society and often become overwhelmed with stress.
        
        Engaging in the arts help us let out our frustrations, and express ourselves without needing to use words.
        
        If children develop these skills early, then as adults they will naturally gravitate toward these and will have a way to deal with stresses that come up in their lives.
