Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a waste of time. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Since the dawn of civilisation,

art

has been the substantial part of our culture. While some people believe that it is vital for children to indulge into artistic skills and it should be part of their curriculum, there are many who vindicate

this

idea and consider it as a waste of time. In

this

essay, I will illustrate both the views and explain why I believe that

art

should be taught to all the students in schools. From a parent perspective, there are many reasons why they don't want to encourage their offsprings to learn

art

as an essential subject in schools.

First

of all, many believe that there is not secure and stable future for the jobs in these areas. Indeed, many have to struggle comparatively more to prove themselves than traditional academic oriented jobs.

Although

in my opinion these are just conservative beliefs and more awareness is required for the parents. In my perspective, there are many underlying benefits of learning

art

, especially in the early years of education. One of the predominant factor is that it helps children to expand their imagination and creativity, which opens up their mind to vast opportunities that one can't even imagine. Many scientific research,

education. Another significant benefit, which is

scientifically proven is that

art

helps in reducing stress and improves one's mental well being. Recent studies have shown that children who are involved in extra curricular activities like dance, singing, painting in their elementary years of education, are less prone to depression and anxiety when they grow up. Undoubtedly, there are many positive aspects to learn

art

in schools. To conclude, in my opinion, while I agree that there could be more struggles in finding a secure

skills, irrespective of whether they pursue any career in it or not.
