It’s a shame. It’s a shame that because of the economy and so many budget cuts, we’re losing so many art programs. Particularly when I see kids like my son. My son struggles with other areas, and art for him is very strong, and I believe that many kids are like my kid. That a lot of them, for them science or mathematics or business is not their strength, and we are leaving a lot of people and a lot of kids behind, and I think that’s very dangerous.
And I think that art, not necessarily means that you’re gonna become a starving artist. Art teaches you to be sensible and observant to the world around you, which is very important to shape up your personality and who you are, and your place in the world.
