The beauty of creative arts is that it heals and able to transform one to wholeness. It brings such comfort, joy, fun, laughter, creativity, connection, bonding.... with self and others. It is not meant to be used as an achievement statement - a pure gold achievement in the first place. Rob not the true beauty and joy of the power of creative arts. It saddens me time after time how creative arts is being misused and abused of the true meaning per se. Often I witness creative arts being introduced to children at a very young age just because they are expected to perform, excel, get a medal and certificate as a showcase. Creative arts is more than meet its eyes. Being a dance therapist, and educated in drama, immersing myself with lots of arts throughout my life and learning to teach music as a Primary school teacher reveal in the process the beauty of what creative arts can do and really do. Please I plead let the children truly enjoy the pure meaning of creative arts in all forms - not turning into another achievement purpose. Let children enjoy the true nature of what creative arts entail. ~ Elizabeth Rutten-Ng, Embodied Movement - Dance Movement Therapy
