Art classes, such as painting and drawing, as important to a child's development as other subjects, so it should be compulsory in high schools. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some individuals believe that

art

courses

should be taught in schools and these

courses

should conclude a wide range of

art

materials, ranging from painting to drawing. In my opinion, basic

art

infrastructure should be taught in high schools. It is my view that learning

art

in high

school

could guide pupils towards discovering their interest fields and help them to improve their talent.

For instance

, I have a famous friend who is a writer. After high

school

, he chose electrical engineering as his major.

Nonetheless

, after wasting 4 years of his life he realized that he had a natural ability in writing stories and he changed his major to literature.

In contrast

, some people claim that students are more likely to find

art

difficult to understand and it could have an adverse effect on their curriculum. They firmly insist that it could lead to dropping out of

school

. I do not find

this

argument convincing as other subjects like mathematics and physics are as difficult as

art

, and learning the basics of

art

cannot be hard enough to bring about dropping out of

school

.

Moreover

, since

art

courses

are more practical compared with mathematics and physics, pupils can find these

courses

as leisure. In conclusion, I completely agree with teaching

art

in high schools because it is more important for pupils to introduce to all fields of study before entering the tertiary level so as to find their talents and prevent them to waste their lives on a major

that is

not interested in.
