Sharing arts experiences

By taking part in shared arts experiences, pupils come to understand their own responsibility to contribute, and the importance of supporting and appreciating others' contributions. Pupils often have to work together to achieve the best possible end result. The final arts performance, presentation or exhibition is very important, as it gives the pupils a chance to celebrate and to feel valued by their peers and others.
