Question by Claire: What are some advantages of fine art classes?
I’m writing an essay and I need some ideas on why fine art classes are beneficial. I’ve never really been the artistic person who takes all the music classes and all the jazz so can you please just give me some ideas to get me started? Thanks

You didn’t distinguish between studio classes (making art) or lecture (art history)classes on art. My use of the word “art” here is inclusive of all art forms,visual,music,theatrical,literature. Well from the stand point of an appreciation or history classes in an art topic it will allow you to understand the development of the art form throughout history, essentially how one thing lead to another so to speak. And shows the connecting common thread that runs through the various cultures of our world and the impact/influence that each have had upon one another.. It will also give insight to the different historical periods of a culture since art does reflect or comment on the period in which it was produced. Especially since artist will use their medium to comment on the social,political, economical and aesthetic values of their day. Art can be reactionary some times as well as being supportive of various issues. My comments made here are more from a viewpoint base in European and American art and are not meant to lump all of the worlds cultures in this statement. However the studying the subject of the arts,I believe. can be and is a means to a greater understanding our world as a whole.
