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.
Art
is considered mandatory for the young ones at school
, however
, others believe the time
should be used for other purposes. While knowledge in art
is useful as it may aid people in expressing their sentiments, I think more time
should be allocated to other subjects
such
as science
and language
as that would help build their career.
Knowledge in art
is useful as it helps children
to express their feelings. Already from early on, children
learn to communicate by artistic expression. They dance, sing or draw sketches that reflect their emotional status. Learning about art
can help children
understand how feelings can be expressed through artwork. For example
, studies
have found that children
that are abused often draw sad faces and use dark colors
when asked to make a sketch. Change the spelling
colours
Although
knowledge in art
is useful, I do not think children
should be made to learn about art
as there is so much more to focus on during the years at school
.
Science
and language
are more important to learn and are worth the time
to a much larger degree than art
. That is
to say that children
that spend time
with these subjects
will be better trained for further
studies
, thus
helping their chances for achieving high grades at school
which makes them better qualified when applying for university and further
studies
. For example
, in Finland, science
and language
are the main subjects
that children
are taught in school
and these children
have good grades and are better prepared for further
studies
than in other countries.
To conclude, while art
is seen as essential for some as it can be useful for expressing sentiments, it is of my opinion that other subjects
such
as science
and language
should be a larger part of the children
’s curriculum as these pave the wave for further
studies
and careers.Submitted by krishers on
