Art! The most Beautiful thing in the World! (The Importance of Arts in Education, My Access 7) Whoa, look at that art man, isn 't it super cool? Yeah, it is, look at the technique they used, and the way that they just kept adding on paint. It’s so thick. Yeah, I guess Vincent Van Gogh was a person who was very interested in thick canvases. Art, the only true way that anyone can express themselves. Whether it be Music, literally Art, Dance, or Drama they are the only true way that anyone can express themselves, and that the fact that anyone, anywhere would want to attempt and try to get rid of Art in elementary schools is awful. Just absolutely awful, taking the early stages of a child 's creativity is just inhuman, not right in anyway. There is so much that can come from Art, so much and especially at an early age in youth, such as, helping the students express themselves, It helps them choose to …show more content…
Having Art in elementary can seriously help them express themselves and all their uniqueness in their Art. It helps them choose to be in Artistic activities when they are older, help them develop their creativeness and have something to do outside of school that is exciting. It can also help them succeed in high school because they then know what interests them and what to proceed in doing that certain Art activity. Art is the most important thing in the world no matter what anybody says, it really is the most important thing in the world, How do you think people are so inspired by this? Why aren’t they so inspired by other things? Because Art is from the soul and from emotions that flow through the Artists and their instruments. This is why we should keep Art in elementary schools and not get rid of
All around the United States, art programs are being cut out of the budget in public schools. The arts include dance, band, chorus, theatre, film, drawing, painting, photography and literary arts. Some school board members feel these art programs are not necessary and do not benefit the students in any way. Elementary, middle, and high school students are forced to quit their passion and feel that their talents are not supported by their schools. Although many are not aware, there is a strong connection between arts education and academic achievement. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts in many public schools, the art classes are first on the list to be cut. It is important that the students, parents and teachers fight for their desire to keep the arts in public schools. Art programs in public schools are essential to the development of young minds; therefore the school boards should enhance and improve the programs and should not cut funding or force a class to be discontinued.
When I was young, just like any other child, I loved playing with colors. Throughout my childhood, though, art simply meant doodling with crayons or creating some mess. I considered that as my true art. On my birthday, my father bought me one Japanese movie named The Future Boy Conan as a gift. Even though it was my first time watching a Japanese movie, I was enchanted. I developed the patience to learn to draw and continued to study more about arts. The more I drew, the more I felt like I found something, not only in the artworks, but in myself. Art is still my passion and is something that I take pride in. Moreover, arts education allows many individuals to learn about themselves, their cultures, and their community. Unfortunately, due to insufficient funding, many students in the future may not have the opportunity to experience the motivation that art education provides. Every student in America deserves a complete and competitive education that includes the arts. Therefore, art education should be taught in public schools, perhaps now more than ever. As the country becomes increasingly diverse and the workplace more oriented around creativity, arts education is the pivotal key to a successful public school system to ensuring students’ academic achievement, and enriching the positive social development of students.
In today 's generation, the arts have grown to have such little importance, and with the arts becoming less important the creativity of the generation becomes less as well. With the arts becoming less and less important throughout the decades, the students who will not be subjected to art will be paying the consequences without even realizing it. Without students growing up and learning the basic or more extensive skills used in the arts, the student will become less creative. A generation without the necessary skills learned from basic art classes will ultimately end up less successful.
Rhys Southan’s essay “Is Art a Waste of Time?” is about art and if it can really help people who are suffering or is it just better to hand over your money. In Yo-Yo Ma’s essay “necessary Edges: Arts, Empathy, and Education” he focuses more on art being used as educational purposes to essentially create more innovative/empathetic people. Instead of focusing so much on STEM, the author states that we should incorporate art too. Although some people might say art does not play a role in making the world a better place. I believe it can by bringing awareness to different social issues. Also, if we incorporate art at a young age it can teach kids to be open minded and happier people.
Art is everywhere , every tv show, every ad , and every book is art. That is why it is a vital part in today 's education system, but in the rush to bring ip standardized test scores art programs are being dramatically cut and forgotten about altogether. With the new focus being on Common Core State Standards, which does not include art as a core, schools are having to take away art budgets to focus on cores that are being tested on.
...ls. There is so much that can be gained from arts education. It is imperative that music and art education remains in public schools. Because, even though it has been said many times before, the fact remains that the arts enrich us all.
In today’s society anything can be considered “Art”. From the great sounds of a symphony, to the architecture of a modern structure, or even an elephant painting with its trunk, art is what the viewer perceives it to be. Individuals will always agree or disagree with the message behind a certain piece of art, as pieces can be offensive to some, but beautiful to others. Some argue that funding the arts in school is a waste of money, time, or a combination of both, but the benefits outweigh the negatives by far, due to a variety of reasons.
Art education is often underestimated by many who believe that school was created to teach only analytical concepts such as mathematics and literature. However, research has shown that art courses are important, even necessary for students in elementary, middle, and high schools. These art classes may include not only visual arts but performing arts such as dance, theatre and choir. Barbara Streisand said, “Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for the truth,” (Quotations). Streisand points out that there are multiple benefits to art whether it be painted by a brush or sung from the heart. Art has the ability to allow people to see situations from different points of view not merely to look beautiful as decoration. Those who believe that art education is unimportant are simply ignorant to the benefits that involvement in the arts holds for not just the individual but for society in general. While some in society may not recognize the immediate results. Art education is beneficial to students in primary and secondary schools.
The creation of art, music, dance, sporting activity and literature should be made a fundamental part of every school 's pre-K to 12th grade curriculum. The creation art it’s very important for children from their early age, a lot of benefits children can do and learn through art. A lot of benefits they can receive:
Art Education is not always valued in school settings. Although some may see it as an unnecessary use of school funding, there are many who believe it is beneficial to students in more ways than one. There are many different studies that have been conducted to test the effects that art education has on school-aged children. Some studies have proven that art education can help students to improve in other academic areas. In a journal article from Ohio State University’s “Theory in Practice,” Karen A Hamblen states, “There are linkages between art learning and learning in other subjects areas and that art study can promote creative behaviors, critical thinking skills, and academic achievement.” It has also been found that the arts can teach children better self-regulatory strategies, and even foster more confidence and self-efficacy in school which relates to confidence in academics. Overall, art education in schools has been very beneficial and has proven to ignite creativity, confidence, critical thinking skills, and academic achievement in students.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” -Pablo Picasso. This quote is pretty straightforward. It says how all children are artists and how they grow older are not an artist anymore. A child’s drawing can tell so much about what they are thinking and feeling about their surroundings. They see things differently from adults and teens because when they are drawing or doing some sort of art they are not told that it is a “bad picture” or what ever they are doing is “not right.” They don’t have a limit upon their thoughts and ideas, but when they grow up, they do. Starting from the first day of school they are taught about the wrong things and the right thing. As we grow older there are more classes that have right and wrong answers to a question like for example math. We learn to follow the steps, use the formula, and get the right answer but because of these classes we forget about the arts. If the arts are forgotten then student’s way of expressing what they feel is taken away. Which brings more pressure to students in classes like math, physics, geography, and etc. That is why schools should make arts classes mandatory because arts classes help students build their artistic and creative skills, makes them better learners, and encourages them to find other ways of expressing their thoughts.
Throughout the ages art has played a crucial role in life. Art is universal and because art is everywhere, we experience it on a daily basis. From the houses we live in (architecture) to the movies we see (theatre) to the books that we read (literature). Even in ancient culture art has played a crucial role. In prehistoric times cave dwellers drew on the wall of caves to record history. In biblical times paintings recorded the life and death of Christ. Throughout time art has recorded history. Most art is created for a specific reason or purpose, it has a way of expressing ideas and beliefs, and it can record the experiences of all people.
Firstly, it enhances students creativity by allowing them to make a self-expression. In most art programms, students are asked to create a painting that represents memory or compose a new rhythm for a piece of music. When students are taught to think creatively, it helps them in their future career. Secondly, the arts improve academic performance, students who are regularly participate in the arts does better in their academic achievement. Thirdly, it develops the students fine motor skills when they hold an instrument such as a paintbrush or oil pastel. Fourthly, while mastering a subject, students build self-confidence. Fifthly, the arts help students to develop their visual-spatial skills. Students need to know more about their sorroundings through visual than just what they can learn through text and numbers. Art education teaches students to appreciate, criticize or interpret by using the visual information. Sixthly, the arts strengthens problem solving and critical thinking skills by allowing the students to make choices and decisions. This is certainly allows them to carry over into their education and other parts of life—as this is surely a valuable skill in their adulthood. Seventhly, perseverance whereby the students will be asked to develop new skills and work through difficult projects during the career. Eightly, focus whereby when students persevere through painting, singing or learning in a play, focus is
Arts and culture have always played a major role in human life, manifesting itself directly or indirectly, even in the daily life of man. It is arts and culture which bring peace and joy at the end of the day and not materialistic comforts. The purpose of arts has always been clear and simple- Joy. This joy satiates the divine within into the outer world- leading to a greater good and peace in the society. In the world of sciences', machinery, industrialization and urbanisation, art brings a balance. So what is Art, indeed? Vatsyayan expounds (Vatsyayan 1997: 8), “ Its examination may lead to the conclusion that what has been so far considered as a mere metaphor (however sustained), is indeed an indicator of the self-conscious awareness
Art classes throughout kindergarten and up to my junior year in college have taught me so much about expression, performance and making a statement. Learning and practicing art introduces a new way of processing information, and approaching problems. In my
