  1. No.I do not think art classesv should be cut out of scool.Beacuse if a kid is sad and dosent want to talk it out they could take a piece of paper and draw a sad face or athem self crying it could make them happy.When a boy or a girl is happy or sad they could draw something that explanes there emotion it will make them feel better.and some kids are really good at art and there en artest so it wont be fair to them.thats why i think schools should not cut out art classes.

  3. No. i do not think schools should not cut out art classes because if a kid is sad and they dont want to talk it out when they go to art class they a pice of paper and draw something that will make them happy. It will cheer up Boys and Girls emotions into a excited or happy feeling. Art class is a way you can express your feelings and emotions. And last but not least when you go to art class no body can tell you how to do your drawing you can even make it up it dosent even have to be a drawing it can be a scoulptures if you want it to be. And thats why i think schools should not cut out art classes.

  4. Yes I do think that we should have art because you could be creative its good for your brain, and its fun! You can be creative with art for example, you could throw in things and make a collage and its good for your brain for example, it takes a lot of thinking to use your skills in the right place. Art is fun because you can draw or make whatever you want, for example, you can draw your dog any way you want and there's no rule about it!! Here are my three reasons and I hope you agree. Amanda

  5. I don't think schools should cut art classes. Art classes help kids express themselves. Art can teach you about the world and different cultures. Learning art in school can give you options for careers when you grow up. Maybe you could become a professional artist.

  9. I think they should not cut out art classes because you can be creative and could show your favorite talent in pictures you drew. A fun fact is if we had no drawings or art there wouldn't be no cartoons and we all love animation at least I do. All the schools should have art I think is important for us students to express our feelings in paper.

  10. Yes, I think schools should have art because it lets kids be creative,take a brake from learning things and lets kids express themselves with it.A nother reason is if schools did not have art some kids would be sad and might beg someone to have art.My last reason is if kids are frustrated, art is a way to calm them down and make them have a good day.Those are my three reasons why schools should have art.

  17. Yes,I agree with Jordan because art is a place where you can express your feelings.And I think that the kids who don't like art, should find a way to like it.They could also try taking out all of their negative feelings and replacing it with positive feelings.And that my friends is why I think that not only our school should have art,but all schools should have art.

  19. No. We should have art class. It’s good for our minds and we get to learn about famous artists and more. We get to express our creativity and imagine in art. We should not lose art. It’s very important.

  20. I think all kids should get art because art is really inspiring and it is the only place you can let loose and be free instead of being worried about getting a 4+.

  21. No they should not cutoff art class because it can calm you down because the brain can draw what it wants. It is a common subject.

  22. I think schools should still have art because if they really like art they can express thier creativity that thier holding inside.Another reason schools should keep art is even if the kid is not good at what the art teacher asked him or her everyone can encourage you by saying stuff like ''your art looks so cool I love it.Also if you were wanting to be an artist when you grow up that will teach you so much.art is also a place to be free because when your in class you sometimes you get frustrated or worried if you have to take a timed test or read in front of the whole class.But in art they don't grade you on how good your art is they grade you on how you behave.

  23. Yes, I think every class should have art because a lot of people like art like me. It not fear to other class because a lot of people in classes really want art but they have gym twice a week. Kids really want art instead gym twice a week.

  25. Yes, I think our class should have an art class. These are my reasons why I think that:

    My first reason is in art we can express our creativity through painting, drawing, and lots of other things! Like if we're mad we can paint it out. And nobody will really notice!

    My second reason is in art we have a lot of fun! For example we do choice day. On choice day we can do any kind of art we want like...painting, drawing, making stick figures, making our own jewelry and of course lanyard.

    My third reason is art is one of the only classes we're really interested in. For example, art is nice and calm. Unlike gym (no offence) because in gym we do a lot of running and physical stuff. But art is calm like music.

    Now you know why I think Class 3-317 should have art class!

  26. I think that they should cut having art because it is the same thing as having choice time and going to the drawing center or doing a project in school. You can even draw anything you want at home like Hallie said. You can do it after school or you can buy things to make stuff or if you go to daycare if they let you if they don't you can always do it at home and choice time and you can always draw at recess or lunch.

  27. Should schools cut out art? No my first reason is that some kids are good at art like for example some kids are not good at science, math, music, gym, library. They are just good at art.

    My second reason is kids parents can't pay for after school. Like for example kids parents can't pay the money for afterschool so there kids can't learn art.

    My third reason is when you draw you think of things like for example you imagine things in art.
