Free Writing Reflections On Art Essay

Theater

In theater classes, children are usually asked to learn scriptwriting, to communicate and sustain different characters, learn to interpret dramatic texts among many others.

Theater knowledge can be seen as teaching the child that different characters exist, that the need to learn to interpret and give meanings to things is essential.

I will also put less pressure on myself consequently on my work. By writing within articles that I cannot think of anything to write at that particular moment, I am allowing myself to wander, thinking freely. Through this, I will be more compelled to revisit and edit my work more frequently which allows for more fine-tuning.
