From Elliot Eisner 

1. The arts teach children to make good judgements about qualitative relationships. 

2. The arts teach children that a problem can have more than one solution and that a question can have more than one answer.

3. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives.

4. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solving purposes are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity.

5. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know.

6. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects.

7. The arts teach students to think through and within a material. 

8. THe arts help children learn to say what cannot be said.

9. THe arts enable us to have experiences we can have from no other source.
