The Importance of Art

The Importance of Art

  Art comes in many forms, from drawing to photography to graphic design. Art is an integral part of culture and has been since the beginning of mankind. The statement, "Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music, or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period", is a completely ignorant statement. Teenagers need ways to express themselves and release creativity. Furthermore, many high school students intend on pursuing a career in the art field. Additionally, with the logic that tax money is wasted on anything other than workforce training, high schools should also discontinue sport programs, since they aren't in the workforce training category. Overall, art is a very important aspect in many peoples' lives, especially in the teenage population, and the right to expression should not be stripped from kids under the assumption that art is useless. Art is not useless. Art is easily one of the most important subjects in history and will continue to be that way into the future.
