But for me it was fun, and it was important to my career as an engineer. Art history should be a required subject for everyone. I learned a lot about history, religion, and mythology during the course. This has been very useful. When I go to parties, no one wants to talk about building bridges. But if I tell someone she has a smile like the Mona Lisa, she is more interested in talking to me. Of course, the most important part of any course is the teacher. A good teacher can make even a boring subject interesting and lively. I was very lucky to have a good teacher. She is very experienced and is very famous in the field. She has written a lot of books about art and has even curated museum shows. We also took field trips during the course. We went to museum to see the paintings and sculpture we read about in class. We went to artists’ studios to see how a painting was actually painted. How did this help my career? Not only did it make me a more rounded person, but I saw in the paintings a history of engineering. I saw how bridges and buildings were built and used. I saw how cities were planned. Art history for me was very important and it was fun. 6 Essay A group of paragraphs about a single topic and central main idea. At least 3 paragraphs Academic writing: 5 para.
