Leslie Hall on 28 Mar 11I thought the last paragraph was perfectly executed for this argument. "Creativity is required in business, computer science, medicine, engineering, in fact any human endeavor. Without it, knowledge would stall, and the human race retreat back to the Dark Ages. Arts education is essential to keeping the flame of creativity alive." I don't know what angle you're taking for your PROBE paper, but your thesis could be largely tied in with this paragraph and you could have a really solid start!

Jessica Nogues on 29 Mar 11I too am focusing on the role of the arts in education for my paper, and it is definitely reassuring to see that such programs do exist in preserving the arts for students. These programs are definitely the minority, but they do provide hope that an adequate education in the arts will not be dismissed. And I have to agree with Leslie, that last paragraph really does make a solid point about the importance of the arts.
