I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the problem with the arts in America is how unimportant it seems to be in our educational system.
Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
I believe strongly in the power of arts education to engage and empower young people.
I think the arts are very important for children growing up.
Kids deserve arts, and it's just as important as science, math, history, English or athletics.
I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.
When I think how art education is eliminated whenever we get a budget crunch in the schools, I have to stand up and say that even when there was dire poverty ten blocks away from Tiffany Studios in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, there was art and creativity within.
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
Art shouldn't be prohibited in public schools when kids in private schools always get it.
The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think they believe every bit of it.
