Freedom Of Expression Forms Of Art

country is that they are part of our educational
system. The arts and art education teach us
design, organization, cooperation, creativity,
risk-taking, and most of all that we need to be
active participants in our society. I believe that
education is a main priority and therefore art
should be as well. Since 1965 the most prominent
source of government support for the arts has been
