Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a waste of time. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Certain individuals believe that the arts should be an important course for students in a school,

On the contrary

, others contemplate that it only squanders the children's time, In my opinion, Arts is an important form of expression that should be studied by all.

Art

like any other medium of creation is subjective,

also

it takes work and research to properly appreciate it.

Moreover

, in

this

day and age of technology that dominate everyone's life, it takes a great deal of effort to understand and enjoy it.

For example

, a person who doesn't share an emotional connect to

art

and crafts all his life, will only believe that it is a waste of time. But why should

art

be compulsory for all children?, well, its because

art

changes a student's perspective in a creative way. While it not only helps them to expand their horizons, it can lead to them discovering their strengths by expressing their inner feelings, For illustration, a friend of mine who was suffering from chronic depression, was suggested to try paintings,

This

helped in coming to peace with himself.

Furthermore

, arts as a profession can yield a considerable amount of wealth,

for example

, Da Vinci's paintings were sold for millions of dollars worldwide,

therefore

it as a career can provide not only money but fame too In conclusion,

although

art

is considered a niche by many, I believe that

art

has several benefits to the students, it can develop their creative skills right from the childhood and can help them make a career out of it. I urge that all schools should have some of its time devoted towards it.
