Arts Education on Cognitive Development

Abstract

In this paper, you will begin to understand how the arts have an impact on young children and their cognitive development. We will examine the relationship between the human mind and how the arts can change our way of thinking. Piaget is a world-known research psychologist that theorized the growth development of children. His theory on child development is one of the key points in this article. Understanding how children think, move, and learn will guide you through the effects of arts education on their development. This paper highlights the effects of arts education on students with special needs, students in low-income areas, and students who have a lower IQ than others. The goal is to get schools to change how they teach their students. The education system nowadays is only focused on reputation and getting the children to excel in grades. But they are less focused on how the children are learning and if they are retaining the material. If these schools incorporate the arts in their everyday teaching, the children will not only enjoy what they are learning but will also retain the material for the future. Remembering the past and learning how to improve the future will help these students to change the world in a better way. By the end of this paper, you will agree that the arts can improve their development and help them retain the material they learn in school.
