![]() There would be no concerts for singers, which means less traveling. (Same for basketball games if the marching band plays there too.) On a high school level, no arts means no marching bands, which equals no halftime shows or student sections going all out for their team. Football could see a decrease in tv ratings, either way. No entertainers could equal no SuperBowl halftime shows. No reporters could equal no sports coverage. No new reporters.Īnd that could cause issues for other industries were so fond of. If we add Creative Writing to the mix, no new authors. If the arts are taken out of schools and aren’t accessible, we won’t have new actors & actresses, new musicians, new dancers. Someone has to be there to take their place. One day, they’ll retire from the entertainment industry for good. (just to name a few) – they’re getting older. None of those would be possible if the arts weren’t around!Īll of the actors I’ve grown up watching – Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, etc. How many people watched a tv show or movie since March 2020? Read a book? Listened to music? A podcast? An audiobook? ![]() ![]() The Arts are just as important for anyone regardless of where they’re at in education, and if ANYTHING has taught us that, it’s Quarantine 2020. Especially when they say “oh it’s okay, not everyone has the ability to do _” when a kid isn’t good at drawing or playing an instrument, but the SECOND a kid underperforms in math or science or even history, those same people belittle kids into thinking that they’re dumb or that they’re not “applying” themselves enough. It frustrates me beyond words when people do not support a young person’s dream to be a performer or a writer or anything else deemed “unrealistic “ or “unreliable” as a career. Heck, I write stories for fun and published a book so I could launch a career doing something “creative” for the rest of my life if I wanted! I was in choir, I was in theater, I love music and movies and tv shows that (mostly) break my heart but make me laugh & love them. This “debate” gets me fired up, because my life is HEAVILY influenced by the arts. Once Part 2 is available, I will link it back to this post, where you’ll be able to find it by clicking here.) (Side note: Today’s prompt post is going to be Part 1 of 2, due to the content discussed (maybe even 1 of 3, depending on if I can find a related essay I wrote in college). Since I’d rather focus on positive vibes more right now, I’ll stick with: PERFORMING ARTS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT (if not more) THAN NONCREATIVE SUBJECTS. Oh gosh, where to even begin?!? There are like two or three really good topics to use for today’s prompt. And dang, you look good today! ❤️ĭAY 10: WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING FOR WHICH YOU FEEL STRONGLY FOR. Before I get to today’s prompt, I just want to remind you that you are more than enough, you are not a burden, and if you haven’t heard it in a while… I am so freaking PROUD of you.
