Why choose art?

This is an advocacy poster to promote students choosing Art as an elective in High School. It features Writer, Director Mike Leigh’s photo and quote. He said that ‘Art should be a core subject of all subjects like English, but even more so.’ I strongly agree with this statement, and have added some other ideas and quotes that I have written or found on pages below to demonstrate why students should choose it.
