The use of Art as a Tool to Enhance Learning in Academics of Columban College-Asinan

HUMSS 12, Senior High School Level

INTRODUCTION:

School is a workplace for students where they enhance their skills and knowledge. Thus,
educators have their own ways on how their students will adapt the lesson properly. On a
Kindergarten Student, Ninety Percent of Children’s Brain was developed by the age of Five to
Six. According to SeneAcademy, the intellectual development of children can expand with the
use of implementing art. As they tackle lessons, they can get the enjoyment because of fun
activities that art offer.

Studies prove that the connection of Arts and Education. A 2002 report by the Arts
Education Partnership revealed that schoolchildren exposed to drama, music and dance are often
more proficient at reading, writing and math. In the current generation, involving art makes them
engage more efficiently in the given tasks. Other past studies, like the 2006 Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum study on Art Education, showed a link between arts and education and
improved literacy skills.

This study aims to determine the effects of the school giving importance on implementing Art
with their teaching styles on the students of Columban College-Asinan. We also aim to enhance
the students’ learning and adapting the given lessons. For this purpose, this research seeks to find
information that prove focusing on Art may help the development of a student absorbing new
knowledge.

RELATED LITERATURE:
FOREIGN:
- According to Brian Kisida and Daniel H. Bowen, author of the “Brown Center
Chalkboard.” Engaging with art is essential to the human experience. Almost as soon as
motor skills are developed, children communicate through artistic expression. The arts
challenge us with different points of view. Furthermore, he added an empirical evidence
that support his study; he stated “A critical challenge for arts education has been lack of
empirical evidence that demonstrates its educational value. Thus, he proved that
advocating “art for art’s sake” specially on teaching needs to be sufficient for the
students.

- Merryl Goldberg, by the title of her book, Arts and Learning: An Integrated
Approach to Teaching and Learning in Multicultural and Multilingual Settings, she
clearly stated that the relationship between the arts and education in the United States has
long been tenuous and controversial. There are those who believe that the arts play a vital
role in the education of young people. Others believe that the arts are extras, secondary to
the “basics” that students must be taught. Educational policy and financing within the
United States tend to reflect the views of the latter. Where the arts are given a place in
schools, they are often taught as separate subjects and are relegated to a low slot on the
priority hierarchy; when budgets must be cut, the arts are usually the casualties. Teachers
across the country who integrate arts and learning in their classrooms continually provide
testimony to the importance of the arts in the teaching and learning process.
Unfortunately, policy and funding have not kept pace with the experiences of teachers
and students. As a result, most teachers are not trained to use the arts in their classrooms.
Merryl Goldberg’s Arts and Learning provides a strong foundation for teachers who want
to make the arts an integral aspect of their teaching and learning.

- According to Center for Online Education, Teachers and students alike benefit
from schools that have strong art climates, a 1999 study called "Learning in and Through
the Arts" demonstrated. People have been so wrapped up in showing how arts education
benefits students, many haven't stopped to consider how it also impacts educators. The
report studied students at 12 New York, Connecticut, Virginia and South Carolina
schools to compile their results. Not only were students at schools with high levels of art
education earning higher scores on critical thinking tests, but teachers also seemed
happier. Part of the increase in their satisfaction was a result of their charges, who were
found to be generally more cooperative and expressive and enjoy a better rapport with
educators. That wasn't all, however, as teachers at schools that emphasized arts education
enjoyed greater job satisfaction, were more interested in their work and likely to be
innovative and pursued personal development experiences. It's not a trivial finding, as
what is good for instructors is often very good for their students as well. This is
something those at online colleges for education should keep in mind.

- According to Ólafur Ellieson, engaging with art is not simply a solitary event. The
arts and culture represent one of the few areas in our society where people can come
together to share an experience even if they see the world in radically different ways. The
important thing is not that we agree about the experience that we share, but that we
consider it worthwhile sharing an experience at all. In art and other forms of cultural
expression, disagreement is accepted and embraced as an essential ingredient. In this
sense, the community created by arts and culture is potentially a great source of
inspiration for politicians and activists who work to transcend the polarizing populism
and stigmatization of other people, positions, and worldviews that is sadly so endemic in
public discourse today.

LOCAL:
- Bryan Saraum, teacher from Children’s Shelter from Cebu, clearly states the
activities that he had done for his Grade two students: He taught the students basic lines,
colors, shapes, borders, which he stated that They really had fun doing their self-portraits.
The room was totally quiet as they studied how best to recreate their picture. This activity
motivated them to develop concentration, coordination, fine-motor skills, and creativity.
Some of them even extended their art skills by creating their own style. Which he
believed "Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. We come from
the Creator with creativity. I think that each one of us is born with creativity." Thus, art
plays important role specially for the students.

- As stated by Alice A. Pañares, from the different cases presented here of the art of
Filipino child, we can see the need for more studies and research on the Filipino Child in
the seventies, who is a ‘McLuhan’ child, living in a multimedia environment. Which he
added, the lack of research and studies on the Filipino Child and his art is compounded
by a gap in the professional preparation of art educators in our country today. Unlike
music education, which is taught a major field of concentration both in the graduate and
undergraduate level in several universities, art education is offered in few universities and
is usually relegated as a subject one has to take in education or fine arts.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

1. How does the art affect with learning academics?
