Creativity

Sir Ken Robinson, a speaker at the Ted conferences shard his outlook on how creativity is used in the school system. Creativity is exploring you mind and showing who you are. We express our creativeness in our life every day by what we were and the way we talk or act. But I think the school system needs to bring more classes into the curriculum dealing with the arts. If schools can put more classes in that deal with being healthy and more gym classes, then why can’t we have classes dealing with the arts? And I’m not just talking about just adding another drawing or music class. Why not add a photography class or drama class that is not just a club. The problem with clubs is time; kids in sports do not have the time to go to classes, practice, and then a club meeting, it is too much stress. But the problem with adding these classes comes with teachers and time in the day. Art classes are not required to graduate so a person who wants to get into a good college is not going to waste time sitting in a class they would like. They are going to try to cram as much knowledge into their brain with good grades to get accepted to a good school. So why don’t schools require at least one year of art classes.
