Task 2: Art classes should be compulsory in high school. Do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that it should be compulsory for high
school
students
to study art
subjects. While I suppose that art
may bring several benefits to pupils in high school
, I disagree that all students
are obligated to join art
school
.
On the one hand, I agree that there are some advantages to learning art
in high school
. To begin
with, art
-related lessons may entertain students
, and help them relieve anxiety and stress after consecutive hours of learning. Therefore
, it can protect them from mental illness. Besides
, arts may support students
in enhancing various soft skills including creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking, which are crucial for their future careers, especially if they work in art
-related occupations.
On another hand, I disagree with the idea that art
classes
are compulsory for all pupils in high school
; instead
, I believe it should be an option for those who are interested or pursuing a career path in the art
industry. Firstly
, these classes
can place an extra burden on students
’ workload, when they have to prioritize their time and energy on subjects that are more crucial and relate to their future jobs such
as languages and natural ones. Furthermore
, it may be pricey for students
when they have to pay an amount of money to buy learning materials including paint, and various types of pens, that not all student's families can afford.
In conclusion, I agree that art
classes
can benefit students
in certain aspects. However
, I am of the opinion that it should not be compulsory for high school
students
to participate in these classes
