List Of Art Subjects In Nigerian Secondary Schools
Being an art student in secondary school requires you to make research concerning your field of study, several students fail to know what is required of them to be an art student. Most times they are termed as lazy students, but that’s not true many professionals today were art students, many fields of professions like Lawyers and others are all art.
The study of art in school is helpful in running in the day to day activities of life, they are mostly sourced out for in companies and other places. There are several courses you have to offer first in secondary school before moving to be a full-time art student or studying a professional course at the university. Do not let anyone tell you that being an art student does not guarantee you a good-paying job, I believe every student has his/her own choices to make in life, do not be influenced by a group of people.
