As a child, I was obsessed with art and music, at the age of three I began learning how to play the piano and by the age of twelve I had mastered playing twelve instruments. Along with music, I was fascinated by art with a special interest in paintings. These hobbies helped me to develop my creativity and my motor skills. Art also helped me to cope with my ADHD, and it has been scientifically proven to improve the quality of life for kids suffering with ADHD. “Art therapy uses the processes of drawing, painting, and sculpting to improve well-being and confidence in kids.” (Nelson Stacey) With so many kids suffering from ADHD, I was amazed to see how many budget cuts there were to the art programs in high school education specifically in public

However this method depends heavily on the generosity of private donors so it can be very difficult to get a constant income to avoid budget cuts within the art sector. This is most likely due to the lack of awareness around this topic, if more effort was put to inform the public of this problem I am sure that more funders would come forward. “While more affluent school districts can rely on private funding to still provide art education for students, or parents can simply pay for after-school art classes, children in poor neighborhoods most likely don’t have those options.” (Metla Valeriya) With schools relying more on private funds, there has been a large growth in the number of nonprofit organizations that can give funds to local public schools. Over the last twenty years the number of private funder grants went up from thirteen percent in 1989 to thirty-five percent in 2009, and in twenty-five states, thirty-two respondents shifted their funding to art programs.

(Fang Marina) In other to circumvent this issue, one possible solution may be the introduction of artificial intelligence robots and the use of hologram in order to teach students. However with the current restraints of technology and humanity’s fear of artificial intelligence, the implementation of these robots may not happen anytime soon. While it is possible to use standard robots to instruct students, it would be very ineffective as without artificial intelligence the robot would not be able to properly critique the art or interpret the hidden meaning behind each piece of work and every note in a sonata. This is a crucial part in the teaching of art and requires a human mind or at the very least some form of artificial
