If we were to end However, art and music are the ways in which humans express their very souls. If we were to end art and music, then the world would be dead and all civilization would fall into turmoil. Art does have a reason for being. It is the expression of creativity and can come in handy all the time. Some people might become scientists. What if a person wants to be an artist or a musician as an adult? If they wish to follow either of those careers, they will need art or music classes. I say too many people these days take boring office jobs. The world needs more artists. A kid should be able to take any classes that they want, and they can take calculus and art simultaneously. There is no reason to cease production of art or music classes.

Both art and music should stay alive, because when they are no longer practiced, humanity will have lost every ounce of integrity it has.
