However, keeping art programs can be very beneficial. The arts have been proven to increase academic performance. They also give students a creative…

Clive Bell’s theory of art is a formalist view, appreciating art for its visual aspects and disregarding any context behind the piece. His goal was to find the common trait among all works of art.

When I was in my sophomore year of high school, my art teacher Mrs. Samally opened my eyes to many different types of art forms throughout the world. One form of art that particularly caught my eye, was the art of 3-D chalk drawings on street canvasses. The way that these artists can portray depth and realism in their art work just baffles me.
