Honors

This week the article was about how the arts were an essential part to an education. It talked about how the arts taught how to think in multiple different ways and to see many solutions to problems in our lives. The arts complement the sciences and how it should not be the first thing that is cut from school systems.

I think this article is right. I do not think it should be just about the regular subjects we encounter in school systems nowadays. I think art is a key part to education whether it be the musical arts or the visual arts. I think they should stop cutting art programs because it does harm the children. I learned a lot in school through the musical arts that i couldn’t have learned anywhere else. It has helped me to think differently and to take on challenges in differently. One of the reasons i came to a liberal arts college is because i wanted to stay in music which i would not have been able to do anywhere else. I think it helps students in there day to day lives as well. I get a lot of stress relieved when i work on my music, sure it adds some as well but its not a huge amount. I think they should stop cutting art at school and should cut in general if the need arises but never to just cut out the arts.
