答案 Set the Artist Free As I recall in primary, secondary and high schools, I couldn’t help but beam with excitement when we took a break from major subjects by having art and music lessons. It is my belief that art and music education will act as a constructive means to release imagination, stimulate creativity and cultivate artistic disposition for the secondary school students. To begin with, art and music offer a channel of self-expression for secondary school students. Free of boundaries and restrictions, art and music compose an outlet for their otherwise repressed imaginations and emotions. A painting is a visualized rendering of thoughts and feelings of the painter, be him talented or not, while music is the boundless sky where one soars free as a bird. They bless students with a relief from the suffocating pressure of text-reciting, mathematic equations and rote memorization of English words. As what these subjects are designed for, art and music serve to inspire and release creativity within young hearts. As newcomers to the world, children usually view everything with bubbling fantasies. They see a flying horse, a talking puppy and giant rabbits walking home alongside them. They are not so much observing the universe as they are creating one of their very own. A couple of years, unfortunately, are enough to take away this precious gift. As they age, a creative mind is numbed by the instructions of parents and teachers to be normal and disciplined. Music and art might be able to help young students find their way back to their inner desires and true self, and hopefully awaken the little artist that sleeps within. Finally, art and music nourish artistic temperament and appreciation, which is a key ingredient of a well-rounded soul. Since the first day of school, a student has been over-occupied by the learning of numerous subjects, leaving no room for a hobby or an interest. It’s sad if they have learned one thousand words by heart and have worked out pages of arithmetic problems, but fail to appreciate the beauty of artistic creation. Giving courses of art and music at the early stages of education will lay down a foundation for students’ future artistic or musical passion, as well as expand their scope of knowledge. Throughout human history, art and music rank among the greatest inventions which we take delight in. It is, therefore, my sincere hope that they are not turned into another dull and monotonous course where only high grades matter.
