yes, and you can ask them how effective would their projects be in those
academic classes (not that art isn't)if they were not allowed to use
photos, drawings, diagrams, posters, webpages, ART, etc...art makes those
subjects that are abstract much more comprehensible, not to mention more
interesting.
