I was reading an article based upon the need for the arts in everyday education, and how it impacts our lives.

Imagine a world without art, no creative advertisement signs, no pictures in children’s books, no poetry, and no music. The world would be a very dull and boring place. Over the past decade, the practice of the arts has significantly decreased in schools because these activities are seen as less important to society. But imagine what life would really be like if art did not exist. Although some may see art as a waste of time, and that class time should be spent on core subjects, it is often overlooked that the arts programs can help students in the real world. Some people stress that children’s time would be better spent doing more work in math, science and reading and less time in art and music. Even though this may seem true, the arts programs are beneficial to students because they provide an opportunity to express creativity, relieve stress, and boost learning skills.
The issue of arts education is part of the larger debate over school funding in the U.S. Some educators believe that arts education is not sufficiently funded, and argue that students who engage in artistic activities perform better in other academic areas.
