Enhanced Cognitive Abilities: Significant growth in students’ ability to think critically, solve problems, and use spatial reasoning, as shown by their active participation in creative arts activities and their success on related cognitive tasks and exams.
Heightened Emotional Intelligence: Increased levels of emotional expression, empathy, and self-awareness among students, leading to a more empathetic and emotionally resilient student body capable of understanding and navigating their own emotions and those of others more effectively.
Improved Academic Performance: Participation in creative arts programmes by students is positively correlated with their overall academic performance, demonstrating the positive effects of arts-based learning on students’ general cognitive development and academic success in a variety of areas.
Cultivation of Lifelong Appreciation for the Arts: Development of a sustained interest in the creative arts among students, fostering a lifelong appreciation for artistic expression, cultural diversity, and creative exploration, thereby contributing to a more culturally enriched and intellectually curious society.
Positive Impact on Well-being: The improvement of students’ emotional well-being and mental health, as seen in their increased self-assurance, decreased stress levels, and increased sense of community and self-expression, shows the comprehensive advantages of creative arts integration on students’ overall well-being.
By achieving these anticipated outcomes, the project aims to underscore the transformative impact of promoting creative arts in education for cognitive and emotional development, thereby advocating for the integration of arts-based pedagogies within educational systems to foster a more comprehensive and balanced approach to student growth and well-being.
