Fine arts

 The “fine arts” are not fine because they are elite. On the contrary, the task of the fine arts is to search out beauty and to come to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. This is an effort aimed at everyone, and access to the fine arts is often free or less in cost than access to entertainment or sports venues.

But in my estimation, there are two hitches. First, the fine arts require some work in response to the work of the artist. Second, the fine arts are not given the level of attention and support they deserve in K-12 education.
