Yes, it should be a push for the arts in school. Arts are underrepresented and often treated like less important subjects, while they are just as important as the other. They teach different things but they can be helpful for the personal development of child just as much as math or English or any other subject taught.
--because they represent something different. Because they represent the future of the work market. Because they teach how to be better people. they teach that things like unity, tolerance and dignity matter always. Because they represent the culture and the identity of a country. because they can teach something about humanity.--
I think an industrial designer should have skills of precision, creativity, open mind, but with a solid knowledge of the history of its field. It should be versatile, open to change, maybe with some insight on robotics or information technology. It should be detail oriented and solution-focused, and proactive as well.
--because they represent a piece of our culture. people who learn about visual arts are more tolerant and open, and they have more creativity, which is well reflected in the job placement. Arts open minds and hearts and should be learned in order to understand what makes us humans in the first place.
