Throughout history, preliterate societies have used singing, dancing, drawing, and storytelling to pass down and remember their histories and cultures.  These four elements now form the basis of what modern society refers to as arts education.  Because modern societies can store information in books and computers, the arts and their ability to stimulate emotion and creativity are often reserved for separate learning experiences.  Emotion and cognitive learning are frequently seen as having little to do with each other.  We see this in frequent reports of schools cutting arts education in order to spend more time preparing for tests.
