[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have both done one (the same) sport exclusively since March 2020 when everything but this one shut down. It's too time consuming to do other sports due to the commitment and cost required for this one. They were in K then, they're in 5th now. I can't fathom spending the time or money on art classes...? But I suppose if my kids were genuinely interested ok. They get art at school though. [/quote]

Art skills take many hours of practice in order to develop so why can you not fathom the time or money? Art and creativity is one of the main purposes of life as a human. [/quote]

Um, because I disagree with your statement that it's one of the main purposes of life as a human?[/quote]

Art is what underpins culture. Every culture has art. Art is literally what separates us from animals. Art was a part of human culture long before civilization. Humans cannot survive without art. Oppressed and imprisoned people create art even when they cannot do anything else. To deny that art is one of the core experiences of being a human being is the height of ignorance. [/quote]
