Art and Culture

The importance of arts should not be underestimated, because if you take away imagination and creativity, life would be rather boring and colorless (1). All forms of art are ways we express ourselves and our ideas, even forming a part of our identities. Why is art important? Below are a few more reasons to consider.

We all have ways we express ourselves; it might not be with a paintbrush (2) or another conventional art form, it might simply be how you dress, bake, or cook. There is something within us all that is expressed in different (3) ways. Creating things has been something we do from using berries or clay to paint on cave walls to designing the Taj Mahal. Kids are natural artists with no inhibitions (4) and will take to drawing on any surface if given the chance. The artistic (5) side of our personalities is simply more evident in some than others, but it is there in all of us.

You might not even realize it, but art is all around us every day. The books we read, the shows we watch, the music we listen to, the architecture (6) around us, even the beautiful sunrise each morning. Many of the more subtle and beautiful things of this world go unnoticed (7) in today's modern and busy world.

Art can be seen as a form of communication (8), whether it is telling or reading stories, painting, or sculpting. You will find many well-known paintings depicting history or something from famed literature. Many art pieces also come from mythical (9) or religious viewpoints. For example, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (1495 to 1498), or The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli (1485). When viewing an art piece, it should inevitably spark questions and elicit some sort of emotional (10) response.

The importance (11) of arts in health and wellbeing is well documented. Drawing, painting, and other forms of art are successful in helping to lower stress levels. Participating in some form of art regularly can help to improve physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Even professionals (12) have come to realize this, and it has been incorporated into treatment (13) protocols. Art allows you to express yourself without using words, which can be difficult for some people.

It is important to foster art within the community as it can only benefit the economy (14). Public art, attractions, architecture, theater (15), and color all add up to creating a wonderful space to live and work in but also attract tourists that are one of the major contributions to local economies (16). The various types of art also display the different cultures and ways people see the world. Art can also transform a gray and dull place into something vibrant (17) and colorful, a place that attracts and becomes a talking point.

Art has always played a role in influencing society in some way. It is a way to communicate and break down barriers between different cultures., races, and religions. Art is something that can prompt social change. Art can also be something that identifies a community, making it unique, which can attract others, thus creating something that can contribute (18) to the economy.
