A lot of people think that art can only go as far as a class in school, but in reality there is art around everyone. Art can be a way of life for some people, and for others it is simply just something they pass every single day. What they do not realize is that art can have benefits in different aspects in their life, in children's lives, and even the world around them. Art is around everyone, and the closer they look the more they can find it. According to David Norris, people can find art anywhere in their house even if they do not own an actual piece of art. Really, “without being aware of it, we are surrounded by art and use it on a continual basis. Most people [do not] realize how much of a role art plays in our lives and just how much we rely on art. . . in our everyday lives.”(Norris)
In addition, art can be a way people can help express and bring attention to their own ideas. David again says that if a person were to find an inspirational art piece, say on a building or poster, then those art pieces will help a person become motivated to make a change in their world. Furthermore, if a person were to create inspirational art then that allows a person to get their own ideas across to the world. That person may be the one to help people make a change or that piece of art can show the creator of the art is trying to make a difference in their world. So to restate, “everywhere [people] go art is evident. Parks often use sculptures to add interest and to inform people.
The thought of art is more than what you see it is what you feel and what you learn from looking at it. Art can heal the soul and create and new outlook on images we may see every day. Sadly, we may not always see the art in things, pieces, or, humans.
Many people enjoy art in variety of different ways: through music, movies, television, writing, reading, painting, tattoos, clothing, jewelry and even the make up they put on. Many people utilize art in order to accomplish different things, for some it is a safe haven used to escape from reality, for others it
Art has multiple purposes. Some people enjoy art for the emotional engagement they receive while viewing it. Happy or pretty things give us hope; sad things make us feel less alone in our sadness. Other people see art as a way to balance who they are as a human. Where some people see propaganda others see a reminder of what is truly important in life (Schooloflifechannel). No matter what the reason, art is a vital part of the community not easily forgotten. One thing, however, is constantly on the mind of viewers, and that is the question of what each work of art means beyond the superficial, to the language only truly understood by the human soul. Art communicates, not by audible words, but instead by symbols and metaphors that can be so
Art has changed many people and gave humans what they need to morph into what they are now. Most of us don’t think of art as much, Most of us thinks that art has nothing to do with the world of today. If we look at the most basic of things we can see how
Some people believe art education is crucial in a child's development, attitude, and that it actually improves academics. Therefore, it also gives kids something they can look forward to during the school day. Children actually have the chance to be themselves and have the availability to use their imagination while in art class.
Art helped me learn to express the feelings I couldn’t say and during that time period and I choosing to study it is the greatest decision I have ever made. Art is the reason I live now. It gives me hope, happiness, and an ability to escape. I love how it can change my view and to make me feel things. This year one of my illustrations was hung in the Museum of Contemporary Art: La Jolla, and I could not be prouder.
Everything around us in life is art; we are surrounded by art everyday without even noticing it. The way you write, speak, dress, drink your coffee, decorate your home, these are all forms of art. The world is your canvas and you are the artist. Even your smile is art. Art lets you speak in ways where words cannot.
Art plays an important role in each society. Most artists believe that this kind of activities can enhance the people’s perspective, fuel economic development, bring intellectual stimulation and develop the community identity. Art can help people to understand the things such as the social issues in different ways. It can be a tool to build social connections among people with different identities.
The artwork is an aesthetic autonomous expression by someone on something. This means that artwork always has a life of its own that is very separate and different from other affairs of human beings. The artist making the art will always define the purposes and the functions of his/her arts. Sometimes it may be the public or the market of the arts that will define the functions of the arts. Expression by artists through artwork has always expressed, reflected, and influenced the cultures, places, and time from which the art itself always evolves. The art can also be used for social and media criticism and that means it helps in objecting to reality. Some people also use artwork as a tool for knowledge creation and research. It has also got some very important social benefits like bringing happiness to different people.
If art is so inclusive and universal, why does art seem so absent from everyday life? To see art, one must look for it. The way a tree dances in the setting sun is art. The intermingling angles of power lines with building tops are art. Intersecting and diverging streets are art. Everything depends on perception. By taking the time to see the art in the world, one will begin to notice that art is everywhere. By lying in the grass and looking at the clouds, art appears. By seeing the contrast between brightly colored flower petals and the deep, silky green of tree leaves, art appears. Museums contain beautiful paintings and sculptures. That is art, but not the only art. By looking for art during every available moment, one becomes surprised where art exists: everywhere.
Art is personal; an expression of inner thoughts and desires, affecting the way I not only see the world but myself. In order for a person to grow they must know who they are, their aspirations, the true nature of their thoughts, and their actuality of their persona; the physicality of art has given me this knowledge. With practicing in the arts I am able to grow as a person and I am able to see that growth within me. For with the expression of creativity, comes an outlet, an outlet of the unconscious, forming and showing the reality of the mind. This outlet releases internal emotions and helps me to find tranquility within myself. This state of mind is a supplement for my own personal problems. Also, I am able to create new ideas, ones that help me see the world in a new light. I am able to form a relaxing and mesmerizing state of mind, one that leaves me fascinated with the world around me, along with a deep love for simplicity. Visual arts have truly given me an insight on my own mind and happiness in my life. This is why I full-heartedly believe and practice in the arts, to find peace of mind, not in the world, but in myself.
Art provides many positive outcomes when it comes to education. In the article Why teach the arts? Art inspires learning, David Arzouman, an artist, states “Science emphasizes quantities. Art emphasizes
The raw power of nature has always been inspirational to artists all around the world. Art is associated to what we experience on a daily basis, however it represents some kind of transformation to the everyday, to something that is not actually entirely real, it can’t be found by simply locating it, it requires human intervention. Art maybe seen as the fingerprint of our existence in the world that has its impact on things we transform through the use of our imagination.
The benefits of art aren’t limited to emotions, there are physical benefits to creating art as well. “The average person has 60,000 thoughts per day and 95% of them are exactly the same” (Alban). Creating art allows you to focus on a single activity and clear your everyday thoughts due to the “rhythmic and repetitive
Art has many functions, it can illustrate real life events and people, it can be created for aesthetic purposes, and it can be expressive. Artists have often broken away from the traditional approach to art making, where they laboured over art commissioned by the wealthy, and although artist still may work under commission, they also create art for their own exploration with their own intentions and purpose. According to Jacques Rancière, artists play a larger role in the community, or at least they ought to. He believes artists should use their media as a platform to take charge. Jacques Rancière argues that "artistic practices are ways of doing and making that intervene in the general distribution of these ways of doing and making as well as in the relationships they maintain to models of being and forms of visibility" (p. 403). All art has the capability to be political, and Rancière argues artists ought to disrupt the distribution of the sensible, and they can do so through visual activism. An example of an artist who engages in such practices is Adrian Piper, with her recent artwork Imagine (Trayvon Martin) in 2013 (see fig. 1).
