▶ Your Answer :
Some people might say that art and music classes are less important since they are little related with actual life. However, in my opinion, all children should have the opportunity to learn art and music. There are two reasons. First, art and music classes are conducive to children’s creativity. Second, these classes also help them relieve stress.
First of all, Children can develop creative ability though art and music classes. To be specific, they can express themselves freely by making their own artwork in art class, which is same in music class. Moreover, creativity is one of the most required ability in contemporary societies and I firmly believe that ingenuous people would be recognized more and more in the future. For example, a study was conducted by a group of education majors in Seoul national university to determine whether Art class could affect creativity of children. There was two groups monitored. The first group was consisted of elementary school students who attend a school with art class and the other group was formed of students in school without it. They received a mission to hand in a short writing about how to reduce air pollution. After reading their essay, the researchers concluded that students in the first group suggested much more creative solutions. In the following interview, the student said the reason was that he could learn how to think with various perspective from art class.
Second, through art and music classes children can resolve their stress. Children at present, even though there are only under 10 years old, are often tired of a lot of exams. However, unlike other classes, such as science and math, art and music classes do not have tests since these dose not have only one answer. Rather, these classes are composed of group activities or other intriguing things. For instance, I will talk about my cousin who is nine years old as an example. He always say that his favorite day of the week is Friday because it is the day music class is. A few weeks ago, I asked him why you like music class so much. He said that he love the class since he is free from exam and whenever he sing a song loudly he can release all his worries.
To sum up, take enhancement of creativity and relieving stress into consideration, I strongly agree that statement. |
