Were hurting out there, as a teacher this year who has been teaching arts, i have to say with congress trying to cut back from the economic hurts, the one hurt is the fact that the first thing they want to cut is the ARTS. The are wanting to eliminate these programs which little do they know that fuel the world. I know as a teacher who teaches large quantities of students at one time, it is extreamly fustrating, stressful, and not really a good thing. THe education world is hurting, I'm not a parent, but kids are becoming less and less effective. we have to keep in mind that this is our future, and we are solely thinking on now...
if we cut all these programs that channel childrens creativity, who is going to be are next architects, who is going to design the next "i phone", tv commercial, home to build, cars to drive, music to listen too??? its more that just painting pictures... someone has to learn how to draw, compose, edit, and polish. THOSE ALL STEM FROM THE ARTS. Though some exert more creativity than others ( i.e. fashion, music, etc.) the point is even in your advertising to building structures someone has to learn it. I have a strong argument, and i would love to type it out, and keep the momentum going but the truth is, 1. i'm tired, 2. we have to take a stand or our future is going to be our own demise (trust me I'm working with the future, and i'm trying to cultivate a culture it ) but it's hard. WE HAVE TO SAVE THE ARTS. WE HAVE TO!
