[1]It is believed that in such a competitive age, art education is close to an unnecessary part in schools today. However, most of the advantages that a student would gain out of a basic education in art are almost unbelievable.

[2]There has been years of research involved in the importance of art education and what art education goals are. The studies prove that what students gain out of an art education is almost unbeatable, where any other course is concerned.

[3]Motivation, inspiration and concentration are some of the most prominently recorded benefits that a young student can get from taking education. For a young person’s personal growth and development an education in art is something that is considered to be very important as changing the way one looks at the world.

[4]A child whose parents are rich will naturally and very often be exposed to art, whether it is in the form of art pieces hanging at home or visits to fashionable art museums etc. This has again been seen over the years by researchers. At the same time, it has been noticed that exposure to art is something that is very distant for children who belong to families with little money and they end up spending their childhood without forming any connection with art.

[5]Art education goals in school therefore should be that ________ the wonders of art should be given to all students, whatever age group and whatever their family backgrounds are, because one never knows where talent might be hidden.

[6]However, art education goals have been slipping away from our education system for more twenty years now as people have begun to pay less importance to the requirement of art in their children’s lives.

1.The great importance of art education     根据第二段提到的There has been years of research involved in the importance of art education and what art education goals are. The studies prove that what students gain out of an art education is almost unbeatable, where any other course is concerned.经过数年的研究证明教育的重要性，学生从教育获得的艺术教育是不可战胜的，这正是其它课程所关心的，所文章主题教育的重要性。

4.Stressful budgets as well as suffering of curriculum 根据第六段提到The reasons for this could be stressful budgets as well as stuffing of curriculum in classrooms s part of State mandates.赞成这种问题的原因是紧张的预算，任务型的课程任务。

5.That a rich child is more exposed to art.  根据第四段提出A child whose parents are rich will naturally and very often be exposed to art, whether it is in the form of art pieces hanging at home or visits to fashionable art museums etc. This has again been seen over the years by researchers.如果一个来自富人之家的孩子很自然接触到艺术，无论是艺术形式还是去参观博物馆，这是研究者所观察到的。
