Question 4
Text 1: Our school should not be cutting back on its art classes but expanding them. Art is an opportunity for students to develop a unique set of skills and engage other areas of the brain than the analytical work that is the focus of math, science, and even English classes. All students, whether they consider themselves artistic or not, benefit from exploring their creative side and challenging themselves to make a beautiful, interesting, or provocative work of art.

Text 2: It’s hard to believe our school is thinking of cutting back on the art department. That’s a terrible idea! So many kids love their painting, sculpture, and illustration classes. Art is a great way to be creative and make amazing works of art. Instead of making cuts, why don’t they add in some new art classes, like computer animation?
