Some people tends to believe that art should be prioritized in school as it is required course for children, while some advocates it as a waste of precious time. In my opinion, art is as essential part of life which is prominent to learn extra skills to live in harmony.
On the one hand, some people view art as time wasting skills as they does not help children to earn enough money as compared to career on other subjects. If a student have a degree on other subjects like maths, science they will find better opportunities with enough income and other fringe benefits, while graduating on certain art subjects like: dance, music and so on will contrast their job choices with low pay. However, I disagree with this notion because individual with artistic skills could also earn more money if they are enough skilled to beat competition in the market. For instance, painting of famous artist Leonardo davinci famous painting ‘Mona Lisa’ cost $1 million in today market .This is enough money to live a luxurious life.
On the other hand, there are some people who thinks that art subject should be made mandatory in school because it helps to make students more creative. I believe art form helps individual to think outside the box and increase their horizon of knowledge. For example, understanding art such as drawing helps student to know better about various shapes, sizes and geometry.
In addition, involving in certain art helps young people to increase their concentration power and also they become more patience and hardworking. As art is such a skill that requires a lot of time to learn and constant effort. Therefore, children who start learning any kind of art will start focusing more in their other school subjects by giving their hundred percent effort in it. Moreover, art helps to improve our social skills as well as communication skills in long run.
In conclusion, even though art does not grant certain individual a luxurious life and with great career options, but it helps to develop certain personality traits that are useful to lead a harmonious life. Indeed, art make people more innovative and make them better understand any situation.
