Art is it an essential subject for children at school or a waste of time?

I have to write at least 250 words but i had no idea for it ,,, :(

Nowadays, children have chances to learn more and study many things faster. Some people believe that it is neccessary for children to study art.However, others claim that this subject takes a lot of time and is not very useful. I agree with the first statement.
The first reason why studying Art is a good way is that they can improve their creativity. They create new ideas and show what they want to do. They can share their results to each other and tell what thay are thinking of. Morever, It makes them more active and intelligent. They can learn real lessons from other people at school through this subject and meet many people.
Secondly, Studying art helps them be close to their family. Their parents can know their emotion and what they need. They can draw and have a good time with their parents. It will create a firm relationship among members in a family.
In short, these opinions are reasons why I believe that children should study art in school. Although they need time to learn other subjects, they still can spend a little time studying art as well as discovering their creativity.
