1. STEAM Pyramid Analysis -The Importance of Art Context POE ASSIGNMENT 2

2. What is Steam Pyramid analysis? STEAM is an educational approach that combines the traditional academic subjects of science. It is an educational movement that has been growing rapidly in the 21st century. “STEAM” stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics. This movement aims to bring a new spirit of learning to children by combining the traditional arts and sciences with high-performance technologies, thereby making a new kind of modern person ​.

4. WHAT IS ART? The arts is a collective term, which is used to describe a range of different subject areas that are broadly considered to be artistic or otherwise creative in their nature. When the STEAM concept was originally created, the arts were divided into a number of sub-categories by Georgette  Yakman , and these can be briefly summarized as follows: ​ ​

5. Fine Arts Language Arts 3.Physical Arts 4.Manual Arts

6. 5. Liberal Arts Art indeed is a means of communication, as it passes ideas, values, feelings, concepts, which might be received differently by each observer but still vehiculate ideas concerning society and human condition.

7. The arts in STEAM education is arguably the most significant feature of the framework. STEAM education, as a concept, emerged from the existing STEM initiative, which was originally designed to emphasize the academic subjects that teach the most important life skills, while also encouraging more integrated lessons. ART IN STEAM​ The key difference between STEM and STEAM education is that the latter recognizes the importance of the arts, whereas the former did not. ​

8. Continuation of …… ART IN STEAM​ Studying the arts also helps improve academic performance, not just through creativity, but it improves learning in areas like math and science as well as the literary field. Art education also fosters collaboration and group learning. The idea behind STEAM education is to place a focus on five key areas – science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics – while also encouraging the teaching of those fields to be more engaging and integrated. The idea grew out of a concept known as STEM education, with the key difference being the inclusion of the ‘A’ for the arts. ​

9. Through the foundations of STEAM education, the potential is there for students to go on to anything they wish with their careers. Whether it’s to become engineers or computer designers. With the design of STEAM education, they are given the opportunity to do anything they like. ​ ​ Why is it important? Science, technology, engineering, art and maths are all things that are extremely relevant to life now, Especially with the technological revolution that is currently taking place around the world. Since computers are now so prevalent, it is very important that students are taught these subjects in order to be able to cope with the future. Prepares students for the future by increasing their creativity, innovation and development!

10. IMPORTANCE OF ART​ It is worth taking the time to understand the importance of the arts in providing students with a rounded education. The subjects contained within this field are able to teach people the value of creativity, innovation, communication, and contemplation. In addition, the arts can help to provide individuals with a greater appreciation for culture. ​ The skills developed through the arts are often in high demand within the workforce, where creative solutions to problems may be needed and where different perspectives can be useful. The language arts are also vital for communication and, in the case of things like sign language, can help to provide people with greater accessibility. ​

11. STEAM education highlights the arts as one of its five fields and its inclusion is important. After all, the arts can help learners to develop the kind of creativity, ingenuity, communication, and performance skills that will assist them throughout their education, but also with employment opportunities too. ​ ​ As a field, the arts is extremely broad and diverse, covering everything from painting and photography to dance, history, and architecture. This does, however, help teachers looking to integrate elements of the arts into their lessons ​

12. The ‘Art’ in STEAM represents visual arts, social studies, history, physical arts, fine arts and music. Art is about using creativity and imagination to increase the development of STEM’s essential skills, as well as enhance flexibility, adaptability, productivity, responsibility and innovation - all required skills for a successful career in any field of study ​ Slotting the arts into a child’s STEM education have proven benefits such as increased creativity, improved academic performance, increased motor skills, higher decision making skills, better visual learning and an enhanced learning experience: ​
