The Importance of Art in Everyone's life
Science, commerce, business are all noble pursuits and inevitable in human life; but pictures,
poetry, music and all the forms of art are what we live for. Human life would have been
impossible without the real contribution of all forms of art. In our daily mundane human life it is
necessary to give a fresh lease to the expression of our creative imagination and artistic ideas
via various forms of art, that’s why art is important in every human being’s life.
In this article we will have an artistic discussion over our main topic what is art and all the
important benefits of art >
1. What is Art and Why Art is Important?
There are a number of definition which can be attributed to what is Art, so ar is -
● Creative expression of human imagination
● A form of expression for one’s self
● Something to fulfil the purpose of entertainment
● A thing of creation which incorporates an amount of beauty
● A avenue of exhibiting one’s artistic caliber
● Identifying and developing the principles of nature into spectacular forms which soothes
mind
From the idleness of mind or the leisure time the purpose of art came into existence during the
preliminary days of human civilization. Art has a rich historical way of uninterrupted
development, that's why art history is important matter of various discourse. With the
development of human consciousness, unconsciousness and body and entire human civilization
art has incorporated different styles in every form of it like - music, dance, crafting, painting,
poetry, sculpture, literature, theater, films, and other forms of expression that artists choose as a
medium for their craft.
Communication through artistic creation and its right comprehension and appreciation is a really
important aspect of art which involves the both artist and the spectator. Art has an inherent
relationship with the human mind and morality, that's why art is important extremely. Art has
an unique ability to move, motivate, inspire people by inciting new questions and provoking our
curious minds, screaming in excitement and outrage. For example all the european artists of
romantic age were directly involved with french Revolution, one of the biggest revolts in human
history. They supported initiated and extremely influenced french revolution inactively as well as
actively.
All the boundaries, stigmas, limitations, class, language, religion, gender, and all other factors
which divide human beings - going beyond each one of them, art talks about humanity. The
repression and depression of the human mind, the pain, trauma, fear, love, loss all finds
expression in these beautiful forms of art. This is one of the benefits of art. In this context the
great Irish poet and playwright of all time Oscar Wilde rightly said, “Life is art, and Art is nothing
but an expression of life.”
2. Why art is important influencer of Politics, Culture and society?
Art is a huge element as an influencer of the human mind, heart and consciousness which
directly impacts on society. When activists are showing photographs of children suffering from
poverty or oppression or a painter is illustrating a heart rendering a picture of a child carrying
heavy stones, then this mode of art can be a striking piece of art, pulling the heartstrings of the
rich self-sufficient elite class of society and very powerful to mark a real change. That is why art
is important to society to give voices who have none and to condemn what is wrong. When an
artist creates great music and movies, it entertains people around the world. This is art, making
a difference in society. A very new form of art in action is street art whose example can be
graffiti, poster art etc. Artists take material of artistic creation from their personal life which is
highly influenced by their contemporary socio-political economic situation, for example John
Milton’s great epic Paradise Lost incorporates its creators' political views and current socio-
political turmoil of England.
Art is a very powerful mode of influencing our culture, politics, and definitely the economy. When
we come across a powerful work of art, we feel deeply moved within our heart which empowers
us to make real-life changes. Now if we accumulate the brief of Why art is important, then it
sums up in these points -
● Art can enlighten or educate people
● Art promotes the appreciation for artist’s creation
● Art can surpass all the cultural, social, and economic barriers
● It instigates the human soul and connects the human mind.
3. Importance of Art in a child’s home and education >
Children use to have a very powerful instinct of learning things naturally by visualizing or
hearing and feeling with any of their five senses, and they can identify very easily the right from
wrong. So if they are surrounded by positive forms of any art for example music, colorful
paintings or involved in any, then they will learn to enjoy and appreciate the art which will
definitely contribute to the artistic development in children, necessary to grow up with a
healthy mind. A number of researches in various academic institutions show that children who
are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their ways of growth; such as those
who are engaged with drama have better grip in understanding literature and children who are
taking part in musical endeavours use to have a fine skill in maths and languages. Various
academic institutions have a particular segment as art for kids for their healthy and better
mindscape. Taking active part in the arts is essential for the development of a child which will
encourage them to express themselves in constructive ways that will help in building healthy
emotional responses in later life.
4. Art influences Economic infrastructure of a country > today every country in the world
secures a good amount of annual income from selling their local regional art. In daily life,
in your boring cupboard you can add a zing with a beautiful wearable from your local
boutiques or in any corner of your home can be brightened up with a piece of painting.
The arts make a real contribution to the economy by attracting a number of tourists and
involving a number of businesses, developing skills and talents and generating new
opportunities for employment.
Summing up
Art is much more than just a practice, it becomes a way of life. Art is here to make us realise the
values we uphold, we may have different journeys and come from separate walks of life but
under the light of art all of our hearts love, friendship, and freedom everything gets accumulated.
That is why art is important mostly to introduce us with unrecognised beauty and truth of our
own ‘selves’.
