1. The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships (藝術教孩子們就著質性的關係，做良好的判斷)
Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is judgment rather than rules that prevail. (在學校教育中，追求正確的答案及規則這種事，佔盡了優勢，但在藝術裡，重要的卻是判斷。)
2. The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution (藝術教孩子們知道，困難可以有一個以上的解決方式)
and that questions can have more than one answer. (而且，問題也可以有一個以上的答案。)
3. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives (藝術贊成多元的觀點)
One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world.(一個重點課題：觀看與詮釋這個世界的方法，總有很多種。)
4. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solving
purposes are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity (藝術教孩子們：在一個複雜的問題解決境況中，目的常常是不固定的，它會隨著情境與機會而變化)
Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds. (在藝術中學習，就必須能、而且願意忍受作品成形過程中，不可預測的可能性。)
5. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know (文字與數字皆可描述我們之所知，但「知」並不止於此，比起文字與數字來，藝術更能讓事物鮮活起來)
The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition. (語言的極限，並不等於我們認知的極限。)
6. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects (藝術教學生們：小異可以製造大不同)
The arts traffic in subtleties.(藝術游走在隱微間。)
7. The arts teach students to think through and within a material (藝術教學生透過媒介並根據媒介的特質來深思)
All art forms employ some means through which images become real.(各藝種都差遣某種媒介來使形象成真。)
8. The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said (藝術幫助孩子們說出語言無法說出的事)
When children are invited to disclose what a work of art helps them feel, they must reach into their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. (當孩子們被鼓勵去透過藝術作品來展現感受時，他們就必須深入他們詩般的潛能，找到適當的語言，來表他們的感情。)
9. The arts enable us to have experience we can have from no other source (藝術讓我們擁有的經驗，是其他來源無法提供的)
and through such experience to discover the range and variety of what we are capable of feeling.(而且透過這些經驗，我們會發現感情的廣闊與多樣性。)
10. The arts` position in the school curriculum symbolizes to the young
what adults believe is important (孩子們知道，藝術在學校課程中的位置，代表了成人心目中的優先順序)
