“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when you grow up. -Pablo Picasso. This quote is quite simple. He says that all children are artists and the way they grow up they are no longer artists. A child's drawing can say a lot about what he or she thinks and feels about his or her environment. They see things differently than adults and teenagers, because when they draw or make some kind of art, they are not told that it is a "bad picture" or that what they are doing is "not right". GOOD ". They have no limits to their thoughts and ideas, but when they grow up, they do. From the first day of school, they are taught good and bad things. As we get older, more and more classes have right and wrong answers to a question such as math. We learn how to follow the steps, use the formula and get the right answer, but because of these lessons we forget the arts. If the arts are forgotten, the way the student expresses what they feel is suppressed. Which puts more pressure on students in courses like mathematics, physics, geography, etc. This is why schools should make arts classes compulsory, because arts classes help students develop their artistic and creative skills, make them better learners, and encourage them to find other ways to express their thoughts. The President of the British Government commissioned a test to assess the ability to think in “divergent or non-linear ways” between the ages of 3 and 25. Out of 1,600 children aged 3 to 5, 98% of them can think divergently. Of the same number of children aged eight to ten, 32% could think divergently. When the same test was applied to 13-15 year olds, 10% could think divergently. Then when the test was for us... middle of paper ...... them to find other ways to express their thoughts. Arts classes are important and should be essential in our society. Being artistic and creative can help students be who they are and stand out. It can help them use their knowledge and come up with extraordinary ideas to make big changes in the world, and it can also keep students away from bad things and become better human beings by doing what interests them.
