It
is great worth to discuss whether or no art and music class should be
required in young children’s school like science and math class. The
answer to this question can greatly vary depending on an individuals’
perspective. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the above statement
because of the following reasons.
First
of all, taking art and music class can help children have creative ideas.
This is because while singing songs and painting some artworks by
themselve, they would will have more chance to express their own ideas on
it. Thus, they might be possible to come up with innovative thinks in
their future work. However, if the school do not held the opportunities to
take these classes, students could not try to do so. According to PIY,
which is one of most renowned education insititute in Korea, students, who
are in YI elementary school students, showed higher performances than people,
who are in other school, in Seoul National creativeness competition. This
is due to the fact that this school force student to get credits in art
and music classes as much as other important subjects. This indicates that
taking art and music classes have benefits for increasing students’
creativeness.
In
addition, music and art classes enable students to relive their stress,
which is main causes of mental and physical illnesses. This is because these
days, students are tied up with hectic schedules and have enormous amount
of tasks from major subjects such as math, English, and science. Therfore,
they need to take a mental break by taking these courses, which do not
need to deal with complex academic matters. Let me bring up my personal
experience as an example. When I was junior in elementary school, I liked
to take art class and always waited for this time. This is because by
painting and making my artwork, I was able to forget about my academic
matters and just enjoy the monent. If art class was not required in my
school, I would get stress from the concern about major subjects, even be
painful.
To
summarize what I mentioned above, I am for the notion that art and music
class should be required in young children’s school like science and math
class in that students can improve their creativeness and let steams, and
worry by doing activities such as painting and playing instruments.
