The Importance Of Art

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period."

 I disagree with this statement.  Art and music are forms of expression and they can really help people express feelings that they might not want to talk about.  People can also become musicians for a living, and the same with artists.  If there is a demand for the type of art you're producing, then you can make a profit. I believe that these classes are integral parts of school, and they are indeed very important in development.

This project applies positive and negative space to create an image.  Even though there is no color, you can discern the different objects and animals in this image because of the contrast of black and white.  I am very pleased with how it turned out and I wouldn't change a thing.  I would say that this is the "best" creation i have made so far.  I used quotations be...
