FINE ART, IMAGINATION, AND LITERACY Catherine Read, Simon Fraser University ABSTRACT Participation in various parallel forms of expression that integrate art, imagination, and language create a solid foundation for excellence in literacy. Fine art is a language and a means of expression in itself, and many parallels exist between the developmental processes of creating art and writing. Participation in the arts can provide students with the opportunity to exercise and expand their imaginations, which ultimately provides valuable experiences that are transferable into reading and writing skills.
