Art Education In Schools

In recent years there has been a major decline in the allotted time children are educated about art. As school's curriculum get tougher and the push for a better educational system grows art is being put on the back burner.What many school officials do not realize is that by cutting back on the arts the educational system is digressing. The main goal of school in America is not to increase standardized test scores but to develop well rounded human beings. Everything is art from a pretty picture to the earth itself. If schools do not inform and educate the children about the arts then they are making children ignorant to the world around them.
