Once... i taught art to a bunch of sec sch kids... and was
asking them the question why issit necessary to take art??
Obviously not everyone gonna become another Picasso or
watever....learning art hopefully makes them see the beauty in the
mundane, and like u said, being able to appreciate the beauty of a
buncha bees pollinating flowers next to a drain makes ur life a
little brighter, a little better.
I guess that's why art is important as a subject. but... dunno why
emphasis on school art in Sg is very often inward looking rather
than outward.
