Art has played an extremely important role in my life. From the age of three I have been dancing. To me, dancing is an extremely personal and profound form of art. When asked why I love to dance so much and why I have been committed to it for seventeen years, I simply say that I love the way it makes my body and soul feel. It is definitely a form of personal expression and it allows me to show how I am truly feeling. If I am angry my style of dance that day is going to be completely different from a day when I am happy and fulfilled. I have aquired a strong passion for the arts from dancing for so many years. I have come to thoroughly enjoy photography and paintings. In fact, my best friend from home is a beautiful and inspirational painter with whom I love to see her creations.

Like the one article stated, there is a personal aspect to art. For me, this is dance. I also agree with the second article when it says that art is great for students who may not perform well in other subject areas. If their strength is art, allow them to use that strength when it comes to learning other subjects. One question I have is how can I incoporate math and art? I am more than sure it is possible, I am just unsure of where to begin.
