Band 6+: Some people think that studying art helps children develop skills that are useful in many areas of life. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a view that taking part in art classes plays an instrumental role in children’s life helping for their growth in many aspects of life. I fully agree with this perspective for two main reasons.

First and foremost, children who study art tend to become artists and learn to think outside of the box. While mandatory subjects in schools teach students to study properly and accurately by avoiding making mistakes, art classes help them to become more creative and think differently using their imaginations. This, in turn, can help in their future jobs, for example, by being chef or confectioner – they can decorate their cakes and foods in a different creative way, which raises their reputation.

Another lesser known but still important argument is that the students who studied art can find a hobby for themselves. This, as a result, can help them evolve into a well-rounded individual who can independently close their financial needs. It means that they can work in different jobs at the same time. If the priority work is for example, a teacher, additional job can be an artist or a designer. And the main thing is that they will benefit from their hobby both by earning money and relaxing by doing that. As a result, students can gain more experience in life.

In conclusion, it is my firm conviction that studying art classes can help children improving their skills in their future life through the different ways of becoming more creative and financially independent.
