(Here's another link - TED Blog)
*To be honest, eventhough I might get bored with those long videos, but I always get inspired by TED's videos.
"And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents and we squander them, pretty ruthlessly."
"So I want to talk about education and I want to talk about creativity. My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status."
"Now, I don’t mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. What we do know is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original. If you’re not prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong."
"But something strikes you when you move to America and when you travel around the world: every education system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. Every one, doesn’t matter where you go, you’d think it would be otherwise but it isn’t. At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts. Everywhere on earth." - *My jaw dropped when I read this one. Not literally
So there you go, few verses that I've just mentioned.
I agree with him. Art is actually part of 'educations'. Art is divided to a lot part of something and it's definitely like other subjects such like Science, IT and so on. But why most of people misunderstand about art? Why are they seem to underestimate art? Why? Is it because it's a low quality?
To me, art is part of educations. it describes something same like the other subjects. It doesn't mean if you're an art student, you have the lowest quality of educations. NO. Everyone is the same, it is just 'choices' that make them different. Some of people think that art is at the bottom among of the others. Plus, they think that an art student is less successful. Nowadays, the quality of economic seems to be increased year by year, and from what I see is that they are down-grade the art to the bottom which is they made it less important. To me, art students can be successful as the other students too. They have talents, they have high imaginative mind or thoughts, they're also can think out of the box, they design, they invent something and so more. They are they people who design and invent something that makes the world looks modern and colourful living style. They are the people who brings out the bore life to unique and stylish. Look? We are all just the same, it just that 'different thoughts' and 'different choices' that make us different.
Other than that, art students are trained to be professional in something such like design, photography, blogging and so more. And from that, they make money through out it. And it's just same like Business Management don't they? Oh yes they do. As an art student, I think people should start thinking and should stop underestimate art. And start to appreciate it.
