========================

Why Art?

• They are languages that all people speak that cut across racial, cultural, social, educational, and economic barriers and enhance cultural appreciation and awareness.
• They provide opportunities for self-expression, bringing the inner world into the outer world of concrete reality.
• They develop both independence and collaboration.
• They make it possible to use personal strengths in meaningful ways and to bridge into understanding sometimes difficult abstractions through these strengths.
• They improve academic achievement -- enhancing test scores, attitudes, social skills, critical and creative thinking.
• They exercise and develop higher order thinking skills including analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and "problem-finding."
• They provide the means for every student to learn.

The Entertainment Factor: Why Is It Important? 

Think about the last piece of moving art that you saw or listened to. What do you remember about it? 

You may have certain feelings associated with it. Like if you hear a song that you dislike playing in a convenience store, it’ll bring up any specific feelings you have about that particular song. It’ll actually feel like you’re listening to that song for the first time. You may even remember the time and/or place where you first discovered it. There are specific reactions to a piece that the brain and even the body stores after experiencing a memorable piece, whether it was a good or bad experience.

========================

What is recreation and leisure? 
* 
Recreation is about activities, pastimes, and experiences which are freely chosen. They are usually undertaken in free time and produce feelings of well being, fulfilment, enjoyment, relaxation and satisfaction.

They are opportunities to express creativity, achieve and master new things and feel good about doing so.

Community based recreation offers an opportunity to meet people while enjoying a range of social, cultural or physical activities.
