▶ Your Answer :
Art and Music were boring subjects for me. Not only myself, but many students in Korea feel in a similar way. High school students in Korea spend their art and music class studying for other subjects which are more important when going to the college. Although many students neglect the art and music classes in school, I believe that all students should study art and music in secondary school because art and music are good way to relieve students' stress and art and music are closely related to other useful knowledge.
First, learning art and music is good for reducing stress of students. Lots of students nowadays suffer from high pressure of studying. Some of them choose the illegal ways to relieve their stress, such as smoking, drinking alcohols, and so on. Therefore, it is an important task of school to teach students the right way to relieve their stress. Art and music can be the best subject for this purpose. In an art class, we learn how to paint, and draw, or create a figure out of clay. These are something we can do in the home by ourselves. In a music class, I learned some famous, beautiful piece of musics and still I sometimes listen to the musics at leisure time which I learned at my secondary school. These can effectively help students to cultivate sound minds and bodies.
Second, what we learn in art and music classes are relevant to other important subjects. For example, when we learn some masterpieces from famous artists, not only we learn the information of the work, but we can also learn the history, science technology, and the underlying motivation of the work. For example, when I learned the Michelangelo's famous work 'The Creation of Adam', I also learned the influence of Catholic Church during the Renaissance period, the effort that Michelangelo put in while painting, the fresco technique which was used to paint on the wall, and so on. Not only they were interesting, but they were also very helpful in history or humanity classes. Since what we learn during the art and music classes are relevant to every subject, it should not be overlooked.
In conclusion, I believe that all students should learn art and music because they can learn the right way of relieving stress through art and music, and the knowledge we learn in art and music are relevant to every field of studying. |
