I think that 2 years of art should be required. It makes you an overall more academic and well-rounded student. It also allows you to try things you thought you wouldn't like. Trying stuff in high school can also make you more willing to try things out in the future. I think that it should be required so that you aren't closed off to new things.

Art credits in high school help students in many ways. These include: more creativity, better hand eye coordination, and problem solving skills. For example, if paint spills all over a project you've been working on for weeks, you have to figure out a way to make it work by being creative. Hand eye coordination helps in many aspects of a student's life, not just in the arts. This is evident in many sports, such as football, tennis or volleyball. Improved hand-eye coordination developed in the arts helps you be more productive and successful in sports too.

I think you should have to have an art credit to graduate. I think that it is important to at least have a little bit of experience in art and learn what it is like to be creative even if you are not into art. Not only would this give people a chance to bring out their creative side but also learn the basics of art and possibly important things to use in life. Such as memorizing the color wheel, learn different shapes, etc.

You should be required to take art credits to graduate. Taking one year of choir, band, or just an art class is not hard to do. Some people could argue that taking an art credit could take the place of a class you want to take more but as a freshman (the age of most people taking the only art credits required for them to graduate), you don't get much choice in your classes anyway.

Yes, it should be required. It's proven that students involved in more things, get better grades. They have less opportunites to occupy their time with bad things. Two years of art credits can help you be more creative. Occupying your time with other credits instead of a study hall can also help you manage your time. Therefore, you can learn how to manage your time.

Some may argue that they aren't interested in doing art or they aren't good at it. But doing an art class is not just about drawing or painting. You gain a lot of skills for example motor and problem solving skills. These skills help you in the long run.

I think that art classes should be required. These classes are simple and could possibly help people relax. For example, someone might find it very therapeutic to go to art class and paint. It is proven that people in art classes such as art, choir, or band have higher GPAs and a lower dropout rate.

I feel that having art credits to graduate should be necessary. If you are required to take an art class to graduate this could expand your horizon to new things. You might think you are not into art, but if you try the class you may be surprised and end up wanting to do it for your career. Knowing that you may go into an art heavy career, but without taking that art class for a required credit you would have never known that you liked it.

Doing at least one year of art credits can be good to help you function better. An art credit has been linked to higher school engagement. It also has shown other positive cognitive, social, and behavior outcomes.
