This article will discuss reasons why do we need to study art.

The art of visual, literary, and performance arts have been showcased in an unprecedented manner to an unprecedented population that is mostly youth and even children.

It has shown the need of a change in a society and an attitude of the people.

Rajinder Singh Khalsa, state-level competition awardee in visual arts and 'Oscar-nominated' photography, says, "My story doesn't make a difference if I'm not painting, or writing or performing… My art tells my story and the story of the people.

As an artist, I am just one of them who is involved in a common thing – visual art, that is, portraying my ideas through my work."

The lack of seriousness towards learning about art is because we have neglected its benefits and no one thinks it is important, or even worth the effort to learn about it.

In the times of computers, mobile phones and high-tech life, there is no reason why a young child should study art. In fact, even if he/she decides to study it, there is no guarantee that they will find career opportunities or ways to make it a career.

A good art teacher, however, makes all the difference. Art is a common medium of expression for almost all of the world's cultures. In art, you learn a lot about geography, history, cultures, astronomy, biology, chemistry, math and many more things.

There are so many reasons why we should study art in schools.

Here are a few:

1. It is educational

In elementary school, students should be taught the essentials of art. In primary school, students will understand their basic skills and be able to express their concepts in a more meaningful way.

By the time they enter middle and high school, students will be well-equipped to express their thoughts, ideas and creativity, in a more polished and artistic way.

2. It is just fun!

Teaching children art can make them happier. Learning to appreciate art instills respect, compassion, humility, intelligence and creativity in the young minds.

Teaching art in schools will instill creativity in our children, which will help them take better care of their surroundings and act as role models for the society.

3. It instills confidence in a student

Anytime we try something new, we have doubts and worries, but when we master a skill, we learn to accept our mistakes and learn from them and get better each time.

This is the case with our students, as they gain confidence and become more confident in their ability to learn and do things. Art is one such medium in which they are taught to follow their own path in learning and studying.

4. It makes your student creative and innovative

Our students have so many assignments and homework at home. They spend a lot of time on studying, reading, learning, answering questions, doing research and so on. They are not given enough time for creative activities.

If they have time for a creative activity, they learn a lot about different things. Art helps students express their own ideas and do research on different things. Art in schools provides time and a way for our students to have a creative outlet.

5. It makes your student a good communicator

It is hard to describe the many beautiful things in this world to anyone who is not familiar with art. This is where art teachers come to play.

They provide our students with the best way to describe how beautiful something looks, what it is about, and what else is beautiful about it. Art in schools gives our students an opportunity to describe and express themselves.

In addition, art helps our students understand and use new words, express themselves, and gives them ways to express their thoughts in their writing. We cannot know everything in life and art is a medium that allows a student to express himself/herself.

It is a medium of expression where students can express their emotions and write about anything that interests them. Art in schools gives students time for learning and giving presentations, which will increase their ability to communicate with others.

It is also important to note that students in art classes have the chance to take time to explore their own creativity. They are free to experiment and learn new techniques, and play with paint and pencils.

They have the ability to learn from their mistakes and become better every day.

Therefore, it is imperative that schools make art a compulsory subject in the curriculum, with special attention given to the basics and teaching of the art forms such as clay, drawing, paint, color, print and creative writing.

As mentioned earlier, studies show that those students who have made the decision to pursue a degree in art, or to pursue an arts degree after they graduate, perform better than their peers who did not pursue such a course.

The same applies to creative teachers who later take up the profession of art education.

Arts education is a very important aspect of education.

Many teachers do not realize the importance of art and how it shapes a child's life. Unfortunately, most teachers are not exposed to art and continue to teach subjects such as science, mathematics, English, geography, physics, and biology.

If we want to give our children a good education, we need to create a good environment for education. We need to provide our children with the best educational facilities and the proper teachers to give them a good education.

We need to teach them the right techniques of learning, and set up an environment that allows them to learn and create things that matter to them.

We need to make the time to explore our creativity, play with paint and draw. We need to learn how to express ourselves and write and talk about what we want to write and speak about. Art in schools is the best way to teach our children all these things.

It is time we stopped treating art as a “subject for the mentally ill,” and stop seeing it as something boring and uncool. The time has come to put the arts back into our schools.

Art in schools makes a positive difference in the lives of our children and also helps our schools. Every child has a story, and the way we tell it is how they are going to live their lives.

One of the problems that is currently facing our education system is lack of creativity. We need to create an environment that is conducive to creativity, which will help in enhancing a child's development and creativity.
