My colleague Alec Bainter has made a very interesting point in his blog of political insights. In his article A Need for Art he discusses the issue of the lack of art teachings in colleges. Art for me has always been an integral part of life. I love music and
sketching and every form of individuality of human life. However a
living to be made by these forms is hard to come by. It is simply not
prudent to teach children the arts and tell them to go make a living
that way. At least that what Ive always been taught. My own family
doesn't support my art endeavors.
Shouldn't that be all the more reason
for schools to have programs and events that teach those that truly want
to make a living with their talent. I don't believe that just small
colleges and communities should have these but the larger institutions
as well. With so many young people in the world desiring to spread their
individuality through their arts why not teach them how to do so and
give them an education they could truly use. That way we would have more
students and more people living a life they are truly happy with.
