| Summary: | The visual arts offer the child the opportunity to develop creative and intuitive approaches to problem solving and provide a balance to the child's school programme with its emphasis on science and mathematics. Earlier national focus on building a unified system of education for all races and on responding to economic pressures of a fledging independent nation in the 1960s, has given way to the development of thinking skills and the nurturing of creativity and a society appreciative of the arts and culture. Paradigms have to be changed. Schools have to re-examine their goals as students have to learn not only how to think but how to think critically and creatively and to be appreciative of the arts. |
