Document Summary
Modes of expression that use skill or imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others: essential elements of creativity. Gives an individual the opportunity to organize, interpret, and express his or her own perspective of the world: uniquely personal experience. Often defined by activity descriptions: classic arts. Opera, ballet, dance, theater, classical music, painting, sculpture, literature: popular arts. Rock music, hip-hop, graffiti, murals: entertainment enterprises. Because public schools are reducing or eliminating music, drama, art, and dance from the curriculum, it is up to community-based arts programs and services to pick up the slack. Everyone should be given the opportunity to experience the arts as creators and performers, not just as spectators: important to offer all three levels of participation in programming. Yearly production of a modified version of a broadway musical in east peoria. All actors are children with developmental disabilities.
