SAMPLE ANSWER

Art is a reflection of society. As a member of society, there are certain norms and limitation every individual must follow. However, certain people believe that an artist should freely express their opinion through their art. In my opinion, an artist must reflect the real world sincerely, however, he/she must make sure that it does not has ill effects on society.

Giving freedom to an artist can prove to be of a great advantage for the society. Firstly, an art has the power to radically change the society. For example- a movie on the ill effects of smoking can always be more powerful than hundreds of speeches. It is because people feel more connected with cinema and their favorite stars. Secondly, it is the best way to reflect the negatives of a society. For instance- if a comedian makes jokes about marital rapes or murders, it although makes people laugh but at the same time strikes a chord with them. In this way, a serious problem can be solved easily.

There have been instances when artist were not given freedom. For example- when a Bangladeshi blogger was killed for writing about equality, it created a sense of terror amongst every individual. They felt as if their right of freedom has been snatched away.

Overall, an artist can change or mold a society in a particular way. The artist therefore must be free to express themselves, however he/she must be able to differentiate between a positive change and a negative impact.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Art, for a long time, has been seen as the easier thing to do. For some reasons, it has dawn upon people that love for literature, imagination, creativity or understanding of philosophy is very easy. Drawing a painting or singing seems quite trivial task that can be done by anyone. This has led to paying low wages to artist as it is thought that they are easily replaceable. It is in recent times, that artists have demanded the government to fund them and their art. I believe that is fair on their part to do so.

In the era, when most attention is being taken by technology, if government funds arts, there will be several benefits. Firstly, it will give people a choice to do what they love. It has been observed in recent times that people often go for engineering or medicines as they are  high paying jobs. If security could be provided to artist more people would take it up as a career. Secondly, art does form an integral part of our lives. Funding by government would help increase awareness among people about the importance of arts. Even more, it will help artists to lead a happier life. Often artists lose their creativity in the struggle of protecting their art and living life. The support from government will surely be of great help.

Overall, I believe we do need engineers and scientist but artists surely make life better. Neglecting them could make our lives monotonous.. Therefore, steps must be taken on behalf of the government to ensure that the artists fell proud of their art and are able to make a living out of the work they love.
