School Uniforms

My high school had school uniforms. School uniforms inhibit public art. Fashion can be considered a form of public art and artistic expression. Uniforms inhibit this because students are no longer able to freely express their artistic styles through their clothing. For example, at my high school, not only did we have uniforms, but we also had rules about the kinds of accessories we were allowed to wear. I think that suppressing students' artistic expression through fashion in this way takes a large amount of public art out of everyday life. On a daily basis, the vast majority of public art that you will see is through fashion and what people are wearing.
