Art (The Importance Of The Arts In Education)

Art is a Must

(The importance of the Arts in education) Art has been one of the most crucial parts of education. In fact, it has been some of the only forms of education for the early centuries. Art has always been a way of expression but more importantly, a window to the mind. Art isn’t only limited to drawings and painting. Other forms of art include drama and acting, music, writing and poetry, and even forms of dance. Some of the earliest artists such as Picasso, Shakespeare, Anna Karenina, and even more recently, Emily Dickinson still influence the way that we think, act, teach, and even live. The study of not only these people, but the arts that they represent is crucial to modern education. Three major arts such as music, art, and literature

Throughout the course of history, the rag to riches story has played out repeatedly. In music, there have been hundreds of composers who had little or no formal education let alone musical education. They have worked and challenged themselves to understand and create works of musical art for all to enjoy. There are many instances of that kind of story today, however, the ones from the past are much more complex as people who couldn’t afford to watch music being performed hardly ever were able to hear music. Next, art proved to be the same way. However instead of rags to riches stories, new forms of art arose. Moves from impressionist paintings to cubism are clearly large jumps but still moves nonetheless. Concluding with modern art is hardly a conclusion at all because a new generation of art students who will study art and the potential it has will rise to the challenge and create a new form of art. As for literature, it is always changing. There are so many people who are challenging themselves to be the next Shakespeare or ponder their lives and death like Emily Dickinson. Young students need to study literature. Without a prior knowledge, there is no way that they can create a new standard or a new art for the future. The greats are still the greats because they are studied and appreciated. An understanding of art, music, and literature is crucial to the students of today because they need to have a challenge or a standard to rise
