Different Dimensions on Language Arts and Creative Arts

LANGUAGE ARTS
Listening and speaking
- involve oral language and are often referred to as primary modes since they are
acquired naturally in home and community environments before children come to
school.
Reading and writing
- Written language modes, are acquired differently. Although children from literate
environments often come to school with considerable knowledge about printed
language, reading and writing are widely considered to be the school's
responsibility and are formally taught.
Speaking and writing
- Require constructing messages and conveying them to others through language.
Thus they are "expressive" modes.
Listening and reading
- Are more "receptive" modes; they involve constructing meaning from messages
that come from others' language. (For those who are deaf, visual and spatial
language modeswatching and signingreplace oral language modes.)

CREATIVE ARTS
Music
- Involve listening to, learning about, and making music. Children can listen and
respond to different kinds of music by moving, dancing, painting, or talking about
how it makes them feel, what instruments they hear, how it compares to other
pieces they have heard, or what they do or do not like about it.
Arts
- Allow children to convey their ideas, feelings, and knowledge in visual forms.
Individually and in groups, children use materials such as crayons, paint, play
dough, clay, found objects, glue, tape, and paper, along with tools such as
scissors, brushes, rolling pins, cookie cutters, and more. They explore the
processes of art using materials, tools, and techniques and create products such as
drawings, paintings, sculptures, mobiles, and collages.
Movement
- Includes dancing to music and moving in various ways to learn what the body can
do or to express an idea or feeling. Children might imagine how an animal moves,
then try to imitate it. They could focus on a specific feeling, such as joy or fear,
and create movements to express the feeling. Movement facilitates spatial
awareness and sensory integration, contributes to overall health and fitness, and
promotes development of physical skills.
Dramatic Play and Drama
- involve make-believe. Children take on roles such as mother, waiter, mail carrier,
or doctor. They put objects to imaginative usesfor example, transforming a
large box into a spaceship or cave. Dramatic play also offers a wide range of
opportunities for children to use and expand their cognitive, language, literacy,
and social skills (as described in other Domain sections).
