the importance of art

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period

 to say that art is a waste and that work force training is absurd. many jobs in the work force require some sort of art form such as photography, a graphic designer, a film producer, or a singer. art builds up the sense of creativity and problem solving needed in day to day life.

through art you can express yourself in a healthy and fun way. the arts are an escape for some kids, where they can take a break from core classes and life itself. taking this escape away would be a crucial factor in high schoolers not wanting to go to school anymore.

Or possibly a man climbing up a billboard or poster of some sort. i think the photographer's intent was to take a shot of an artistic piece and leave the interpretation to the reader.
