艺术，一个神圣的令人崇敬名词。可能大多数人都觉得只有那些名流泰斗级人物才具有这样的气质。但是如果细细得体悟，就会发现生活中处处存在着艺术。
你是否发现身边的墙上有一些读起来琅琅上口，看起来令人眉飞色舞的诗句，那是艺术!你又是否发现一些不起眼物品上有一些精美的图案，那也是艺术!你是否发现，茫茫人流中，平凡普通人随口一句不经意的语句，也闪耀人生真谛的光芒!
艺术存在于日常生活中，艺术来源于人民群众之中。艺术就在我们身边!

在上海成千上万的儿童在课余时间接受艺术培训。450多名业余学校帮助孩子学习音乐，舞蹈，绘画和书法。上海儿童艺术学校，有16个分支机构，6000多名学生，是全部当中最大的。
父母送他们的孩子去不同的学校根据不同的兴趣。孩子们学到了很多新的知识，这些是不能从书本中学习。
业余艺术学校有许多家长的支持。这种新型的学校一定会越办越好。
