Some say that music, art, and drama are as important as other school subjects, especially at the primary level. Do you agree or disagree?

I totally agree with the idea that teaching artistic

subjects

, including music, fine arts, movies and drama, especially at primary

school

is as important as teaching the other

subjects

, liberal arts because of the following two reasons; one is that

children

can nourish their sense of design and the other is that they can cultivate communicating

skills

, which are both important in later educational stages and in future jobs. On the one hand,

children

can nourish their sense of designing something, which is an important skill in the producing process in many situations, i.e.

children

have an equal chance to obtain some

skills

in sensing colours, sounds, movements of other objects or facial expressions of others

while

they observe and experience genuine artworks as

school

subjects

.

For example

,

children

who have lots of experience in listening to music, watching dramas, and drawing pictures have superior ability in creating articles, advertising posters, and

school

albums and

such

high creativity is what is necessary in many production companies.

On the other hand

,

school

children

can learn communication

skills

through watching movies and dramas,

in other words

, they can experience other people’s lives in videos, and

this

enables them to achieve social

skills

that are needed in the adult world.

For instance

,

children

who often watch comedy shows on TV at home tend to be good at making people laugh and

such

ability has a positive influence on the atmosphere in any workplace and leads to more productivity of a company or a department. In conclusion, teaching art-relating

subjects

at the primary stage of schooling is important

as well as

other

subjects

so-called liberal arts because it can promote one’s creativity and socializing

skills

, which will be important later in life.
