Art is important to teach because of what art bestows humans to do! Art for me is living and I do not believe that one can truly live without art! I have this ace to

create in which God has given humankind. Kyle Bennett article “God for Artists and Artists for God” communicates some key theories that I agree with: 1. As human beings created in God’s image, we bear the mark of his creativity as well as his

impulse to create. 2. God—as our creator—created us to be creators. And 3. God made us to create. Art is not something added to our lives or callings. It is a life and

is a calling.

Thus the teaching of art is a process within itself. Nevertheless it is essential to teach art. Teaching of the arts will allow people to become aware of the necessity of creating. If we do not hold art to the same standard as other subjects such as

English, history, science, technology, engineering, and math we would be rejecting the importance encompassed by art. Art allows us to see the world in a different

way. Teaching art gives one: courage, the chance to reflect, grow, and become engaged, a way to express one self, and the ability to take risk. Art has truly been the only constant subject throughout history and cultures as well. Furthermore I think

people forget that art has been around longer than reading, writing, math are science.
