9.22 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.
There might be someone who argue that young children should not be required to take art and music classes, or at least they should have an option not to take them, because it seems that only a minority of students will become an artist or musician in the future. However, in my opinion, it is important to cultivate children's sense of art at their early age, and such an early education will benefit them in the long run.
On no account can we ignore the value of art and music education, That is because learning art and music will serve in the complement of the other subjects such as math and science. Although on the common sense, science and art are known as totally different realms, they actually complement and cooperate with each other so as to serve in the same purpose to improve our society. Scientists discover, while artists invent. It is conceivable that art plays an important role in our world. That is the reason why we can’t overlook the education of art and music. Besides, it is widely acknowledge that the primary education is crucial to the development of children, hence we should set art and music classes for them as early as possible. Learning science and math contribute to children’s logical thinking while the art will develop their divergent thinking. Since divergent has a close to creativity. which could also assists in science and mathematics. In order to make our descendants become more creative, it is necessary to offer younger school children art and music lessons in addition to their other subjects.
Thus, an education without art and music courses couldn’t go far enough to cultivate our children. studying art and music in an early age enable children to have a good aesthetic sense. These lessons will leave a seed of aesthetic to the children's little heart, and it will probably thrive as they grow up, then will bring them unparalleled benefits in their future. As lack of aesthetic sense, people will unfortunately miss a lot of beautiful scenarios throughout their lives. On the other hand, the more sense of beauty an individual has, the more beautiful things and joy them will obtain in their daily life. Furthermore, learning art and music will enhance one's charm. For an instance, boy or girl, who sings or dances well will easily become an eye-catcher in the school. For adult, who has a profound understanding of art or classic music will be considered a person of good taste. Hence, in order to train and foster the aesthetic sense, children should study art and music since their early age.
More over, learning art and music enable children to express themselves better. As language is a main way to deliver human's ideas and emotions, art and music could provide another way to express them. Children who learn art and music can express their emotion in more ways such as drawing, singing and playing instruments. Since art works and songs come from people’s emotion and thought, one could play guitar to deliver his sorrow, while the others could spray his passion on the big canvas, then I believe there will be a myriad of master pieces and outstanding artists that will emerge from these entertainments. Hence, even though only a few children will pursue art and music as their vocations, school should give a chance of early art education to those minority who are interested in it.
The world needs scientists, mathematicians, languishers, historians, and also musicians and artists. Even early education of art and music is not aiming at generating musicians or artists, children will still benefit from it, either immediately or in the future. |
