2026 VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
●● What is Creative problem solving (CPS) Answer: the process used to
construct meaning and is at the core of the arts. CPS is used to seek
connections and synthesize diverse solutions
●● Critical thinking Answer: is a part of CPS. It is a focus of the arts
where quality is highly valued. In particular, critique is used to analyze
details and patterns, compile evidence, and apply criteria to make
judgments
●● skills achieved through arts Answer: • Higher order thinking such as
analysis, synthesis, evaluation, including critical judgment
• Imagination and creativity focused deliberately on content and quality
end products
• Prudent risk taking and experimentation
• Teamwork that relies on collaborative problem solving
• Technological competencies
• Flexible thinking and an appreciation for diversity
• Self-discipline, persistence, and taking initiative
●● integrate reading to visual arts Answer: *Artwork is "read" in a way
similar to reading word-based print text.
,*The reader/viewer must first perceive the work as a whole and then
relate subordinate parts to discover relationships and connections, along
with important emphases.
*Making sense of any painting, sculpture, or artwork requires
coordinated use of higher order thinking skills (CPS), in the same way
CPS is used to understand traditional texts
●● integrate reading to drama/theater arts Answer: Comprehension of
dramatic texts closely parallels thinking to understand any written work
and performance is largely about interpretation of words using CPS.
Actors usually do a first read to derive big ideas in a script, which entails
visualizing the setting. They also zero in other literary elements to create
meaning, especially the conflict or problem, which sets the plot in
motion (rising and falling action, crisis, and climax). Actors read to
analyze their characters' motives and relationships to other characters
and the plot
●● integrate reading to dance Answer: Viewing a dance involves nearly
the same comprehension strategies to those used in reading traditional
texts, that is, coordinated CPS thinking. Dance compositions are created
about the same themes and big ideas that are at the core of the literary
arts, again using CPS
●● integrate reading to music Answer: Reading a piece of music is
virtually identical to reading print text and includes decoding symbols
for the purpose of making sense. Reading music notation requires
reading ahead, determining phrases and the overall structure, locating
, accents, interpreting symbols and verbal indicators, and discriminating
between the main and subordinate ideas. Listening to music requires
thinking, albeit aesthetic-oriented thinking to comprehend or understand
●● integrate writing to visual arts Answer: The composition process
used to create a piece of art is virtually the same as that for creating
written compositions (e.g., preparing, data gathering, visualizing,
experimenting, revising).
●● integrate writing to drama/theater arts Answer: The process used to
write scripts and plays involves the same thinking skills as creating any
other form of writing. The difference is the writing form (e.g., script).
The process includes prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and
publishing, which parallels CPS
●● integrate writing to dance Answer: Choreography uses the same
thinking and processes as writing, such as brainstorming, improvisation,
selecting and organizing, revision, rehearsal, evaluation, and
publishing/performance
●● integrate writing to music Answer: Writing music phrases, sections,
and compositions using notation symbols involves many of the same
processes used in English language arts
●● integrate math to visual arts Answer: The geometric shapes,
proportions, and relationships used in visual arts are used in
