         Is art history the most important subject? That is the question on your mind when you read this article. It states that art history may in fact be the most important. My opinion is yes and no. My  answer varies between yes and no based on what you want to do for a living. However, I'm leaning towards no more than yes.

          I agree that art history helps people think outside of the box and take perspective into account. However, I don't think having those abilities are needed whilst having a job that doesn't include art. In other words, if you're a travel agent, art isn't  needed to do your job. My answer changes if you go into graphic design or comic art. Then art history would help you when your job is in that category.

          Putting that aside, art history can still help when thinking outside of the box and having perspective. It might not be needed, but it can help boost your performance by having a sense of creativity. A sense of creativity can help you make the right choice when deciding something important.

          In conclusion, art history is an important subject. However, it's not the most important one. It's not needed to do a large number of jobs. Those that do include art, it more important to take art history. My answer varies if you have a job in either category mentioned. I don't think art history should be completely erased, it should stay as it is.
