 * " Arts, Music, Film and Languages develop our creative skills"**

Secondly, the practice of arts has also been proved as a developer of creative skills. Firstly, arts engages people to trust themselves and encourages them to express their views freely.Children that are encouraged to practice arts become more active and feel greater purposes in life. Also, arts practice motivates people to not only focus in their studies but in other areas of their lives as well. Secondly, recent research studies have shown that the practice of arts and its techniques expands the brain capacity of young children. Moreover, Anna Reyner an art therapist claims that by practicing arts, people develop cognitive, social and emotional skills; and some researchers have also pointed out the necessity of fomenting people’s creativity, because it is a vital skill for organizational adaptation and survival. Anna Reyner's Blog ([|http://artandcreativity.blogspot.com]) is a fantastic website that exposes the benefits of practicing arts since a young age and also counts with general knowledge hand-outs that can be downloaded from there. Finally, people that practice some art techniques such as painting, drawing or sculpting continuously say that they have the sensation that they are more happy than people that do not, because they feel fulfilled and push their minds beyond limits.

Thirdly, similar with art, developing creative skills through music brings several sensations as well. Children, in their young age, begin their education at kindergarten. They will be able to get in contact with words, numbers, teachers, and friends. But music time or singing time would have to be one of the most exciting sessions. Through music children are able to develop their communicating skills, listening skills, and most of all creative skills. Creative skills are developed through various aspects of music; rhythm, tempo, volume, and style. With these four aspects, children will start to use their fore-brain by thinking of various patterns in making their own melody or sound; this connects to composing. Composing would be the main source in developing the child's creative skills. Moreover, children should be regarded of having a special personality, which they have the freedom to make conclusions and decisions. Connecting this to music, learning to compose would be the best solution (Finney, 2011). Overall, by developing creative skills through music at a young age, it will help the child's later years in school with writing and thinking and their future lives as an adult through communication with other people and in forming their lives.

Finally, films are also a sound form of ingredient for developing creativity. The creativity can be cultivated by appropriate stimulations from outside. A film as an audio-visual media, it stimulates most senses that human being has. This process provides brain with abundant motivations and makes people feel intrigued. Moreover, Films offeropportunities to experience extreme worlds of imagination. Before ‘Star wars’ and ‘The Lord of the Ring’ were released, many people could not posit that it could be embodied. However, with advances in technology in media industry, the preposterous imaginations have been shaped into a real object. According to Anderson(2001), creativity can be manifested by fantasy and imagination. Thus, it is definite that films encourage cognitive development. Apart from these during-viewing activities, after-viewing activities also play a pivotal role to raise creativity. Media contents frequently serves as proper topics for post-viewing discussion. Through sharing thoughts with friends or families, people can broaden their horizon which leads to growth of creativity. Furthermore, some other active form of devotions such as making comments and searching related issues with the movie bring positive impact on cognitive fluency.
