History is always more important if we don't learn about history. We won't know how our world is created. We should learn history because many human has save the world by dying. Many people nowadays don't learn much about humanity but it is also important! Many works needs you to understand the history.

# data[].attributes.body
Science is useful to know about nature and phenomena, but not without arts, because they're connected. Arts give us different knowledges and perspectives. Furthermore, arts are very important to have diverse point of views. So we need both science and arts to build an understanding of anything.

# data[].attributes.body
If you study arts you learn culture and culture is important. In history, you learn culture and history is a art subject,

# data[].attributes.body
In your daily life you can use science to some problems and to understand many phenomena. For example, the drop of one object or the nature, and this with arts you can't see.

# data[].attributes.body
Although science has given us a lot of benefits, humanity has usually used it incorrectly. For example, we have created bombs and weapons, so we're suffering wars.

# data[].attributes.body
If science hadn't progressed, we wouldn't have developed many aspects of our lives. For intance, science has helped in the development of the technology, so nowadays we have a lot of conveniences such as the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
Medicine is a subject of Science. Sometime it help us but the pils who sell to us are dangerous if we don't take them regularly. So, in the end they are selling us a poison who can kill us if we dont use properly

# data[].attributes.body
Science has created a lot of good invents that benefit us, but it has created more that don't. For example, because of the creation of bombs are weapons there have been lots of war wich have made a worse situation. If that creations hadn'd been created there wouldn't be as problems as there are.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you imagine a world without letters? Or a world without medicines? Medicines couldn't be used if we didn't have arts subjects. Sciencetist once they have created a new medicine they have to catalogue them and for that wirting is essential. That's why both are important.

# data[].attributes.body
Science and arts are both important. Teaching people is necessary nowadays, and for that we need arts and science. For example, if you want to be a teacher you will have to study arts (to know how to write, speak, etc. well) and science (to teach maths, biology, etc.).

# data[].attributes.body
Many of the arts' subjects are based on the past. They don't give us a future perspective. That's why some subjects only give you the ability to memorise, not to create a better world.

# data[].attributes.body
Arts can't help us saving people from illnesses. So it's clear that they aren't as important as science.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that sciences are more important than arts. In our society we need sciences for evolve and develop. Moreover science help us in our rutinary life. For example science has helped us tackling environmental problems, health problems and other problems of our life.

# data[].attributes.body
As I see from the arguments people think when the word arts is mentioned that it is about poetry, painting, music etc., alone. This is only partially correct. When a great scientist uses his knowledge for preparing a bomb that can destroy the whole world, what's the use of him being great? It's arts that teaches us the value systems and good virtues that we need to live a good life. And arts can also refer to commerce and other business researches. Without arts Countries wouldn't have a good standard of living, economies would dip, and there'd be crisis everywhere. So I'd say that Arts and Science need to co-exist.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion we need both of them. They are of equal value.

While science is important in making advancements in society, not everyone is interested in pursuing it or studying it. Some people are more oriented towards the arts and some more towards the sciences because those are areas where they think they will make the best contribution. Without our advancements, it is true that our lives today would be very different but without art, there would be no beauty in life and in expression and in emotion and it is important to have both in order to create diversity, and culture and freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
ART is not as important as science at all

Sure art helps us to write better and communicate more efficiently, science is needed for medicine, war, health,exploration, future, etc. . . .

Science will help us to more forward and also help us better understand ourselves and also the word. It helps us to appreciate what we're made of and how all the mechanisms in the world work.

# data[].attributes.body
Arts are general culture, which absolutely enrich ourselves.

A combination made of science and arts would be interesting too. Because you can prepare in all the aspects to life, no only preparing a scientific part or an artistic part.

In my opinion thanks to science we know about our origenes and we have medicines. It is important for the future, because of that, we should learn something about science.

Science has let us know how the world was created or how the chimpazee evolved to human.

# data[].attributes.body
Sciences have made a lot of improvements in our society. Otherwise, how would we cross a river without that engineer who designed the bridge? Or how would we heal our sicknesses without those scientifics who invented our all-days-used pills? Would we do that if we only study our past and some dead-languages?

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion we need both of them. But I prefer arts than science because are more easier when you're going to study.

Arts are necessary for us because we need every day.

# data[].attributes.body
Arts is the greatest science for it teaches us to know oneself. Discover others. It's the subject of human beings and not machines.

# data[].attributes.body
Science help us in our every day. We need it for medicine because we should be healthy.

It's necessary to defeat the war since the arms had been created with it.

Into science we have mathematics which are the universal language as we can communicate with people from all around the world

# data[].attributes.body
In my point of view, science are moreinteresting and usefull than arts, but arts are necessary to have different points of view.

I think arts are not important .

Arts we only need to know more about the culture.

Science and the Arts. In my opinion, both are very important. Humanities studies are generelly categoriez under the arts as well as business, politic, and son on. Science can you use in your daily life, becouse of that both are important.

# data[].attributes.body
Arts are necessary for us because they are the base of all studies. Without arts people wouldn't be able to write or read.

# data[].attributes.body
In the era of "big data" where scientists analyse billions of events thrown up by natural or social phenomena, one of the only ways of urderstanding it is through visualisation. There is enormous potential here for contributions from artists if only we'd let them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that both of them are very important and interesting.

Now, I am studying science but that does not mean that I do not like arts.

I think there are very important to know our culture, history.. but in my opinion science are more difficult and a little bit more interesting.

“a young person’s education cannot be complete unless it includes the arts”. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has hit back at claims the Government is sidelining the arts in a speech that styled culture as crucial to developing young people's sense of "Britishness". Morgan described the arts as "the birthright of every child" and said "a young person's education cannot be complete unless it includes the arts". While highlighting moves to make arts subjects "more rigorous," she assured the arts sector that there is nothing to fear from the English Baccalaureate (EBacc).

Morgan's statement to the Creative Industries Federation follows a controversial speech in November last year, in which she insinuated that STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) open more doors for young people than the arts and humanities. She used her speech this week to respond directly to the media uproar that ensued, saying: "I firmly reject any suggestion that I or this government think that arts subjects are in any way less important or less worthy than other subjects for study in school."

Since Morgan's speech in November, the Government has announced that the EBacc - a set of subjects that does not include the arts - will be compulsory for GCSE pupils. The move has raised concerns in arts and education circles, with a campaign to "save creativity in schools" receiving backing from over 125 organisations, including the Association of Teachers and Lecturers.

Morgan defended the move, saying EBacc subjects are key to increasing opportunities for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds who have traditionally been told that these subjects (science, English, maths, geography, history and foreign languages) are not for them. She said: "What that doesn't mean is that these are the only subjects that we value or the only subjects that matter. I would expect any good school to complement these subjects with a range of opportunities in the arts."

But Morgan's reassuring words - "I don't think those who care about the arts have anything to fear from the EBacc" - appear to have fallen short. Responding to the speech on his blog, Educationalist Martin Robinson said: "Why she can't make the easy step to make an arts subject a compulsory part of the Ebacc I've no idea... this would be the most obvious way to show the Government values the arts." Marcus Davey, Chief Executive and Artistic Director at the Roundhouse, was "encouraged" to hear Morgan's reassurances, but said the arts "cannot be an add on to the core curriculum". While a secondary school English teacher took to Twitter to respond, writing: "@NickyMorgan01 believes the arts are essential can you ask her when we'll have the time to teach it?"

Others were more welcoming of the Education Secretary's speech. The Royal Drawing School said it was "great" to hear about a new emphasis on drawing in art and design classes. And Alan Cameron, Education Officer with Dumfries & Galloway Council, wrote on Twitter: "Pleased to hear @NickyMorgan01 say today 'a young person's education cannot be complete unless it includes the arts'".

Art education is vital for today's world including the ability to allocate resources; to work successfully with others; to find, analyze, and communicate information; to operate increasingly complex systems of seemingly unrelated parts; and, finally, to use technology.

Learning is an action process, and the arts allow students to take action, to do things, to make mistakes, to explore and search for answers. No other educational medium offers the same kind of opportunity.

Art can provide an unparalleled opportunity to teach higher-level basics, which are increasingly critical, not only for today's work force, but also tomorrow's...

The quality of civilization can be measured by the breadth of symbols used. We need words, music, dance and the visual arts to give expression to the profound urgings of the human spirit.

Now more than ever, all people need to see clearly, hear acutely and feel sensitively through the arts. These languages are no longer simply desirable but are essential if we are to convey adequately our deepest feelings, and survive with civility and joy.

Ernest L. Boyer,

Thats the list and a few notions to explore... I hope that helps!

Leading professor and Chair of the Faculty at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, James Catterall has an insightful book "Doing Well and Doing Good by Doing Art: A 12-Year Longitudinal Study of Arts Education-Effects on the Achievements and Values of Young Adults (2009)."

Catterall's study, addresses the questions "Do the arts matter?" "Just how?" and "For whom?" Focusing on more than 12,000 students from diverse backgrounds, the study's findings demonstrate, intensive involvement in the arts by students during middle and high school is positively associated with higher levels of achievement in school and college attainment.

But if you still get grief for exploring Visual Art then hand the harasser this career option list... and remind them that studying subjects like psychology, sport, high level maths, physics and the like does not mean a job in those areas, but they are also part of building a range of life skills of value in a range of jobs and career options.

Some possible career options...

P.S. it didn't take too long to do an internet search on the benefits of studying art to build my lists from... think of them as starting points to do some of our own research and see what else you can find.

We should reevaluate the purpose of education

Rather than touting the merits of one subject over another, I think we need to reevaluate the purpose of education — which is not just about getting a job, but also gaining fulfillment and satisfaction as a human being. Well-rounded curricula will introduce students to a variety of different subjects, and help them develop their personal interests without a governmental agenda or parental pressure. That way, they will be free to become scientists– or not.

Are some school subjects intrinsically better or more worthwhile than others? Probably not, but from an employment perspective students would do well to concentrate on science and math-related subjects. Even with an unemployment rate of around 8%, there are an estimated 600,000 unfilled jobs in the manufacturing sector alone. Employers simply can't find people with the right skill sets to perform these jobs.

Training in STEM subjects-science, technology, engineering, and math-could lead students to ready employment, and even to jobs that boast a hefty salary. According to USA News, the hardest jobs to fill are skilled positions, "including well-compensated blue collar jobs like machinists, operators, and technicians, as well as engineering technologists and scientists."

The result of this deficit in technologically skilled workers is a push for students to pursue degrees in STEM-related fields. President Obama hopes to add 100,000 science, technology, engineering, and math teachers to the U.S. public school system to foster interest in the sciences, while private organizations plan to develop solutions to the job crisis in the STEM sector.

If there are so many unfilled jobs out there, why aren't students pursuing them? Some aren't interested in the fields available. Many are unaware of services and industries that may provide employment. And many feel that their high school and college coursework left them unprepared for jobs in these industries. This brings the problem back to our school system and the lack of quality STEM teachers in schools across the country.

While it is clearly critical to fill these jobs and lower the unemployment rate, I wonder how effective a big push on students to study STEM subjects will be. If all the attention, resources, and funding get routed over to the sciences, will kids interested strictly in the humanities get left behind? I saw some evidence of this at my own college, which built a brand new science center and turned into pre-med city while we were falling through rotten floorboards in the English classrooms.

Rather than touting the merits of one subject over another, I think we need to reevaluate the purpose of education - which is not just about getting a job, but also gaining fulfillment and satisfaction as a human being. Well-rounded curricula will introduce students to a variety of different subjects, and help them develop their personal interests without a governmental agenda or parental pressure. That way, they will be free to become scientists- or not.

Bedrock of a broad and balance education

# data[].attributes.body
The arts are as absolutely on a par with the core subjects in maths, science, languages and the humanities. They are part of the bedrock of a broad and balanced education.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The arts are vital to a rounded education, to giving every child a hinterland that will serve them all their lives. That's something I firmly believe in. Why do so many private schools excel in their arts teaching? Why are the arts seen as important by parents who can pay for their child's education? Shouldn't this be true for children in state schools, no matter what their privilege or background?

By announcing that arts subjects will join the first round of reformed GCSE subjects to be taught from 2016, Michael Gove has made it very clear that he sees the arts as absolutely on a par with the core subjects in maths, science, languages and the humanities. They are part of the bedrock of a broad and balanced education. That's good news.

Last week's reforms to GCSE discount codes - which mean that GCSEs in dance and drama will no longer be grouped as one qualification in school league tables - was also good news. The risk that pupils might be discouraged from taking both dance and drama at GCSE has been removed. The two subjects will rightly be treated as demanding, and very different disciplines, worthy of study in their own right.

This should be a moment of quiet satisfaction for the arts. It is, after all, the culmination of many months of hard work. The sector has united behind the belief that a broad-based arts education is vital for the social, economic and cultural health of the nation. The aim that every child and young person should have the opportunity to experience the richness of arts, museums and libraries is one of the Arts Council's core goals. Where better to introduce young people from all backgrounds and all communities to that richness than in school?

Michael Gove says that he wants the newly-reformed GCSEs, including the arts subjects, to be "rigorous, demanding and world class". We applaud this. That's why we carried out a wide-ranging consultation with experts from the arts and education looking at how to make the reformed GCSEs academically demanding, creatively challenging and fit for the needs of the economy of the 21st century. And to their credit, ministers and others in the Department for Education have been more than willing to listen to our arguments. So, as I say, a moment of quiet satisfaction. But, of course, there's much still to be done.

Some will point out that the arts subjects have not been formally included in the Ebacc measure of core GCSE subjects. There is a fear that take-up of these subjects will continue to come under pressure. So those of us who believe in the arts will have to argue strongly as to why they matter. But our case has been made easier by the announcement today. At the Arts Council we will continue to talk to Ofsted to urge that greater weight be given to arts subjects in their inspection framework.

There's a job to be done beyond these formal measures. All of us in the arts know that creative ambition is essential to our cultural future, and that we need to invest in our children now, and in our future generations. As a sector we all need to tell that story, so that schools - and parents and young people themselves - can see what the arts offer in terms of personal development, challenging and enriching experience and career paths for the future.

We also need to support partnerships and collaborations between schools and professional arts organisations so that young people can experience the arts outside as well as inside the classroom. Much of our work at the Arts Council is centred around that ambition. The 123 music hubs which we administer on behalf of the Department for Education have been specifically charged to develop partnerships between local schools and arts organisations to widen the range of musical opportunities young people can enjoy. We also run a network of bridge organisations linking arts organisations and schools together, and we encourage schools to achieve Artsmark, which recognises schools that excel in their arts provision.

We're not educational specialists - our passion and our expertise lies in arts and culture and what they can do. But we can act as advocates and champions of a well-rounded education system which values the arts. Today's announcement about the future of the GCSE curriculum is a welcome signal from the secretary of state about his priorities - a heartening sign that others share that goal and that our voices will be heard.
