<p>Is it necessary for people to study the creative arts?</p>
<p>hmm. IMO if math is a creative art, as defended by this essay: <a href="http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf</a> , I think it is quite necessary since math is so cool and stuffz.</p>
<p>This is a rather creative thread topic.</p>
<p>I agree. It is necessary. The art of producing creative thread topics.</p>
<p>I’m going to assume you took the SAT today…</p>
<p>And no, they are not necessary, but can be a benefit to you.</p>
<p>I think you took the SAT.</p>
<p>And I said yes.</p>
<p>I think people should be involved in some sort of expression activity, be it painting or as that excellent essay puts it, math. We shouldn’t be robots :/</p>
<p>Nothing is necessary per-say.</p>
<p>I didn’t think so, but I’m worried that certain others will disagree. I think that it’s a bad question.</p>
<p>ETA: It’s not that I don’t like creative arts, in fact I love them, I just couldn’t think of any solid reasons to have them in school.</p>
<p>“Nothing is necessary per-say.” FYI, Per se is Latin. =)</p>
<p>My reasoning was that you need to know how to think creatively. If you want to be able to problem-solve real world issues, you need to be able to creatively think. You can’t do that if you only study math, science, and history.</p>
