Some people think that governments should give financial support to creative artists such as painters and musicians. Others believe that creative artists should be funded by alternative sources. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Recently, the problem of what

sources

are supposed to provide

support

for

artists

has been in the limelight in public and has drawn much attention from people. Regarding

this

issue, people have different views. Some people think that

governments

should financially

support

artists

more,

while

others argue that

alternative

sources

should be offered to them. From my perspective, these two different opinions both have their own benefits. My points of view will be illustrated in two aspects. On one hand,

governments

are absolutely supposed to

support

artists

. As far as I am concerned, by supporting

artists

,

governments

are able to improve their cultural influence internationally. Because

artists

such

as painters and

musicians

are outstanding symbols of countries and the cultural exchange envoys between countries. In order to publicize the country itself,

governments

should give more

support

to

artists

.

For instance

, it is known to all that

Lang

Lang

is an excellent pianist in

China

and he is the cultural calling card of

China

.

While

performing all over the world, he carries forward the Chinese culture, especially the musical culture, to the world.

Consequently

, the audiences and fans who are attracted by

Lang

Lang

will have a tendency to know

China

, which boosts

China

’s international influence and is beneficial to the development of

China

.

Therefore

,

governments

are supposed to

support

financially to creative

artists

.

On the other hand

, it is necessary for

artists

to gain

support

from various

sources

,

such

as

artists

’ own families, their fans and social and cultural organizations. Personally,

i

think that working in art is a little risky because of uncertain salaries and a changeable social environment.

Therefore

,

artists

are often in a variety of plights.

Furthermore

, cultivating an excellent artist requires numerous resources.

Hence

,

alternative

sources

are indispensable in the process of fostering an artist.

For example

, there was an entertainment show about

musicians

in

China

called Songs in Hearts, which provided an incomparable platform for

musicians

to show their musical talent. There is no doubt that without

this

platform, these

musicians

may never be noticed by the public.

Consequently

,

after

this

entertainment show, these

musicians

obtained plenty of fans and are more motivated in their careers, which in my opinion, was a win-win behaviour.

To sum up

,

support

should be provided by both

governments

and

alternative

sources

because they play different roles in national cultural development.

Governments

are supposed to financially

support

artists

because

artists

are able to improve the international influence of the country.

Besides

, other

sources

also

should provide

support

in order to foster creative

artists

better.

However

, weighing up both sides of the argument, as discussed earlier, I will conclude by saying that government should be the main force in promoting the career development of

artists

, and

also

alternative

sources

should help
