Art has existed for a1most as 10ng as humans and is one of the things that

distinguishes us from other species. Listening to music is one of the most common

types of entertainment and is great for reducing stress. Because of this, art therapy,

music therapy, and dance therapy are becoming popu1ar as ways of dealing with

various sicknesses.

When we dance, paint a picture, or p1ay a musica1 instrument, we are being creative.

This creative process is very important for persona1 deve10pment. It he1ps us to solve

prob1ems, deve10p socia1 skills, manage our emotions, reduce stress, increase

confidence, and gain more understanding about 1ife.

Art therapy improves the physica1, menta1 and emotiona1 health of peop1e of all

ages. Dance therapy 1ets peop1e re1ease their feelings through movement, whi1e

music therapy he1ps them to manage stress through making music with others. Art

therapy he1ps them to exp10re prob1ems through pictures.

In addition to its healing properties, art is very good for deve10ping higher-order

thinking skills. However, it is often neg1ected in schoo1s, perhaps because many

peop1e think that art and math are comp1ete1y different. But when we 100k at the

work of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Miche1ange10, and M. C. Escher, a10ng

with the recent science of fracta1s , we find that

art and math are close1y linked. In fact,

a recent study in Texas showed that

midd1e schoo1 and high schoo1 students

who p1ayed musica1 instruments scored

significantly higher than other students

in standardized tests.

I!J!lIil:[il괴1 1 Track 51

I don’t have much time for things like concerts , operas, art

gaLLeries and museums. They’re OK for old people, but they’re a

waste of time for me. I need to study for my exams so I can go

to a good university and get a good job. Artists talk about the

meaning of life, but for me that means earning a good wage and

taking care of my future family. Maybe I'll learn how to play the

piano ωhen I’m rich, but before that, there’s no time to spare.

I!1파파파.，~ Track 52

In my opinion, the world is becoming money-crazy. Everything we

see on TV and in magazines teLLs us that money equals happiness.

I don’t agree. I think we have deep inner feelings which can only

be expressed through art and music. We’re losing the joy of

dancing, painting, singing and playing. This joy can’t be bought

with money. Even if you become rich , life wiLL have no meaning if

you can’t appreciate the beauty of art.
