Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Younger school children (ages five to ten) should be required to study art and music in addition to math, science, history and language.
Since 1978, art and music have been listed as major courses in the nine-year compulsory education in China. Some people are opposed of this policy, arguing that art and music have less practical usage compared to math, science,history and language . However, young school children should be required to study art and music for they are good for modeling one's characteristics,taping intellectual resources and broadening horizon.
For those young children who are between the age of five and ten, music and art do good in cultivating one's noble characters. By listening to music and appreciating artwork, individuals are suceptibly influenced by the theme and emotion lying behind them. One of the symphony called The Fate by Beethoven, the German composer, has inspired many generations since it first played out. The sonorous and powerful rhythm encourages those children who are in failure, cultivating their personalities of persistence and bravery as well.
Intellectual development is one of the important processes in one's early years. Learning to appreciate art and music promotes children's intelligence by expanding their imagination. When exposed to the abstract painting of Picasso and beautiful music of Mozart, one will probably try to imagine a picture in his/her mind, which will widen one's sense of imagination. Albert Einstein, the great physicist in the world, learn to play the violin when he was a child. Einstein once said that it was his early experience of learning violin that make his thought wild, contributing to his physicist career.
The early experience of art and music will do benifit in broadening one's horizon. To study the art and music is not only a journey to appreciate beauty but also a window to widen one's knowledge, learning the deeper meaning and underlying stories. Mona Lisa Smile, the artwork by Da Vinci during the renaissance period, reflects the theme of Humanism in 15 centuries. Given the chance of appreciating the artwork of Da Vinci, children will get to know more about the history and cultural background during that period. It is the experience of study art and music that opens the window for children to learn more about the world.
In one's childhood, math and science help model his/her logical thinking skills while history and language equip oneself with practical skills to some extent. However, art and music is an integral part of one's early years, influencing children characteristics,intelligence and horizon. Therefore, young school children should be required to study art and music.
