Woodshop should be considered an art in High School

Before I get to my conclusion, I just want to correct my opponent on what he said previously. The concept of wood shop class is different from the concept of art class. In wood shop class, you are there to make something useful and beneficial. In art class, you are primarily there to create something beautiful and for appearance only. You can make something useful in art, but you are in art class purposely to create something for appearance usually. In wood shop, once you make the product, you can be artsy with it, by coloring it, etc. However, you are primarily there to create something useful than for beauty and emotional power. You can make your product in wood shop beautiful, but that is not the point of the class. The point is to make something that is beneficial. In a regular arts and crafts class, you are making something only for appearance. Examples would be macaroni art and watercolor paintings. In wood shop, you use more than just your hands, you use machines, such as a belt/disc sander and a miter saw. These tools are not included in art class. Arts and craft classes are not taken as seriously when compared to wood shop classes because in wood shop, you use complex machines and also use computer-aid design to draw your model. To answer your question, I did make a hammer in wood shop and a box. Not to mention, you don't use just wood, but also materials like plastic and metal. A wall shelf does make life easier. Instead of putting books randomly on the floor, you can organize them on a shelf. Your cutting board was beautiful simply because you made it that way. It wasn't necessary, but you wanted to. Your sources are unreliable because pottery isn't made in wood shop. Clay is not part of wood shop class at all. You use plastic for more products than just a pen. My conclusion is that the products you make in wood shop can become art if you wanted it to be. Not to mention, what you may think is art may not be the same with the next person. Art is not part of the original concept of wood shop as mentioned above. In wood shop, you use both hardware and software. When making products in wood shop, you use mathematical techniques to figure the measurements of the product, not in art. You generally use a computer-aid design program before you even build. What you make out of wood shop class is primarily to be used in everyday life, not art. Making it art is simply a choice, not a requirement of the class. Not to mention, another term for woos shop class is Tech Ed because again, you use both hardware and software. I enjoyed this debate. I wished my opponent can spell my username right, (K-Lew, not K-Kew). My sources can be found here: http://fabworks.eng.uci.edu...

Road kill is better than art

I accept. But if you cannot what is good and bad art then.. it's a circular argument? Bring it on!

Art and music classes should be compulsory in high schools

Studying art and music in this period is a waste of time. Students who are interested in art and music can specify in the area they really like by learning from other sources and practising in clubs. Those who are not interested will have more time to learn the subjects they like. They will make a better decision on choosing a job in the future. High school students should be able to choose what electives they want to do during school. High schools making Students who are interested in art and music can specify in the area they really like by learning from other sources and practising in clubs. Those who are not interested will have more time to learn the subjects they like. They will make a better decision on choosing a job in the future. High school students should be able to choose what electives they want to do during school. High schools making art and music classes mandatory would not be a good thing. It will make it harder to find work if students mainly study art and music. Students also won"t be as interested if they"re not willing to do the class. Art and music class should be treated like a club and should be chosen to be taken during school or after school. In the end, students being able to choose their electives, it will make it more interesting for the students. Thanks to my opponent to a well thought out debate.

No Game no Life is better than Sword Art Online

Argument: "I have to say, No Game no Life is like a better version of SAO in every way," Rebuttal: My opponent has stated that the anime No Game no Life is a better anime than SAO (Sword Art Online) in every way. Since my opponent has made such a sweeping statement, the burden of proof is on Hisoka to prove that No Game no Life than Sword Art Online in every way, including having better animation, music, commercial success, and critical success. In order to debunk my opponent's argument, I will have to show one way that SAO is better than No Game No Life. 1) Commercial success: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com... All these sources show the constintancy of the popularity of Sword Art Online magna, which feeds into the popurality of the Sword Art Online anime. No Game No Life is not even on any of these lists, therefore, Sword Art Online is a bigger commercial success than No Game No Life, thus negating the resolution that No Game No Life is a better version of SAO in every way, since it makes more money and is more famous.

Are Videogames Art

thankyou tsm, that was an intriguing response. now to begin : MY OPPONENT:"Per say, I was a tourist in an art museum and "Cash Crop" was on display I wouldn't really know a lot about it unless I had researched it or there was a brief history next to the display." this painting, like others, is one that takes times and creative thinking to understand the point. most all of the famous paintings made have secret meanings behind them in which the viewer must analyze and and survey until they have found this. for example, the mona lisa's meaning was not found until someone gave great thought and consideration into the true meaning of the painting, so finding out which both sides of the background signified. death, life, evil, good. etc. next i am going to combine these two quotes from my opponent because they go along with each other and it will save time rebutting. MY OPPONENT:"all the species on the station ban together in one final stand. (Link at bottom of debate) If that's not even the slightest bit inspirational I don't know what is." "the gamer learns of leadership, choices, and team work." do the gamers really learn inspiration, choices leadership, and teamwork? for when someone goes out and buys this game i guarantee you this is not what they are interested in when buying the game. you wouldnt hear some one talking to his friend and saying "lets go buy mass effect because i want to be inspired!" it would probably be more along the lines of "did you hear about the game mass effect? yeah it has tons of cool weapons and bad guys to kill!" the purpose of these games is for the gamer to kill, and if there was no action whatsoever in the game, i can almost guarantee you know one would buy it. this is why a game can't be considered next i am going to combine these two quotes from my opponent because they go along with each other and it will save time rebutting.

Thankyou TSM this has been one of few debates where i actually enjoyed myself debating. I would like to thankyou for 1. being a good opponent and staying on topic 2. being curteous to your opponent 3. not making pre-judgement as to the rounds winner like alot of my opponents tend to do 4. not pressuring voters to make a decision against their own will i would very much enjoy debating with you again. -philosophical
