"To study arts subjects, you have to take risks, push yourself emotionally, expressively and creatively in every lesson, you have to persevere and be interpretive, passionate and collaborative. "

An article I recently shared on Facebook. Interesting to see it from a student's point of view. We have our opinions as teachers and I have my thoughts on how arts subjects were viewed when I was at school. However, the education system and policies are continuously changing. Sometimes too quickly for students and teachers to keep up.
It has also become apparent to me that students will have a very different view of the arts dependant on the area the live in, the school they go to, their families view.
What are your thoughts on what this student has to say?
