Many people who have been to the island remark on the arts upon their return. There are many different art forms on Bali, including music, dance, architecture, literature, sculpture, puppeteering, and many others. The people have to work hard to create a surplus of goods on which to sustain themselves. A work of art is never claimed by its creator. A reason could be that the Balinese believe that everything should be perfect and that perfection is not expected to last.
Music is a very popular art form in Bali.
It is used in rituals, the theater, and other forms of entertainment. Behind this art form is the gamelan . Teaching Strategy Using quotes from people who have visited the island can greatly convey how the arts are so striking on the island. Margaret Mead is not the best example when teaching a younger class. She is more appropriate for the older students.
