Art is considered an essential part of all cultures throughout the world. However, these days fewer and fewer people appreciate art and turn their focus to science, technology and business. Why do you think that is? What could be done to encourage more people to take interest in the arts?

Art

plays a vital role in almost all cultures worldwide.

However

, over the years,

people

's interest in pursuing

arts

has been lessening. There are many reasons for

this

trend and one of the most important reasons being a lot of

people

moving into the field of science, technology and economics. In

this

essay, I will be addressing the key factors that force

people

to move away from

arts

and

also

suggest a few measures that can be taken for the same.

Firstly

, in today's world, money is considered as one of the most important aspects of living a happy life. Unlike

arts

, the field of science and technology has provided innumerate

job

opportunities

to the extent that even a mediocre student can get a

job

with some efforts and earn a livelihood. Back in the days of the kings and queens, artists were on-demand and appreciated for their

art

forms and

also

rewarded for their

art

and

this

was not just restricted to music and dance but even

arts

like handicrafts and pottery were highly valued.

However

, nowadays, the conditions have reversed.

Such

art

forms are either presented in

art

shows or are a luxury for the few rich that exists which has drastically reduced the demand from the market.

This

being known, many parents do not encourage their children to choose

arts

because of the lower

job

prospects. Another reason for the decline in population pursuing

arts

is the

opportunities

in the market to display their talents.

People

are so busy in their mundane lives that the entire day is lost in office, travelling and

then

Netflix is the final resort to relax back at home. Hardly do

people

have the time to visit shows and

this

has led to the show organizers not being able to do the shows which has in turn drastically reduced the

opportunities

for budding and talented artisan to show their skills.

This

is the other main cause, I believe, for the loss of focus in

arts

. Indeed,

this

is not a very difficult problem to solve but with support of the government, especially

this

situation can be controlled.

For example

, the world-famous Korean boy-band BTS who have moved beyond language barriers and made a name globally and are on their path to win the Grammys. Korea encourages students to pick an elective right from the time they start schools and these are primarily subjects like dance, music, handicrafts etc.

This

makes the children understand their interests right from their childhood and not just study the subjects for the sake of studying. Another major step taken by Korea to support their artists is to delay the mandatory military service and

this

is a huge step in the history of the country which made a statement and assured the government's support for

art

. Today, Korea's major revenue comes from BTS.

Such

initiatives like inculcating

arts

from the school, providing patronage for

art

and

also

creating

job

opportunities

can undeniably increase the interest of

nation in

arts

and

also

help in enriching and preserving the culture. In conclusion, I would say that colossal and industrious efforts are required to restore the prestige of the

arts

. The government has to take a step in

this

direction and create a demand for

art

to encourage artists and preserve our rich cultural heritage.
