The Importance of Art

I heavily disagree with any statement that undermines the value of art. I for one believe that art programs are NOT a waste of taxes. And I don't just mean painting or drawing, I mean music, theater, dance, and even literature. Art is how people express themselves. To say that high schools should stop wasting their time teaching students about art and focus on teaching them about labor in the work force, is like saying there should be no fun in the world. If life was just about getting work done, well, I can't even think of a way to accurately describe how boring that would be. Art is what gives people something fun and meaningful to do.
