    You draw, you paint, or you do sculptures(雕塑). It doesn't matter - everyone is an artist!

    THE CASE: FOR

    We look at the Mona Lisa or a Picasso painting, and we say," That's art. "But what about the amazing graffiti(涂鸦)on your street ? What about photographs posted online by our friends? What about your school art display? You worked hard, and it's great. So, is that art? To me, art is anything that's creative. Of course, 1 like going to famous museums. But I also like drawing pictures of my friends. I'm not very good, but I'm creative. I'm very interested in it, and my friends like it. Most of all, I like it!

    THE CASE: AGAINST

    I like visiting art museums, too. Why? Because I like looking at good art. Art is not the drawings of four-year-old children. It isn't painting your body crazy colors and standing in the street. And it certainly isn't graffiti. Some people say, "If it's creative and cool, it's art. "I don't agree. Art is the result of hard work and study. My aunt is an artist. She went to art school for six years. She doesn't make much money, but sometimes her sculptures are on display (展示). Her art is great. Art is very hard, and not many people can do it well.
