Art is performed by everyone. Even till this day it‟s hard to explain the reason(s) why
we are so amused by its effects. Really we can‟t live without it. The amazing thing about
it is that as a viewer you can have a clue of what the designer felt when the creation started.
Art is unlimited with different forms and art will never go away. Since art is inherent to
society, its benefits involve everyone.
Art is everything and nothing. If you were to try and name it all, the list would never
end. It doesn‟t have to be hard to do either. “You know music, art-these are not just little
decorations to make life prettier. They‟re very deep necessities which people cannot live
without” (Picasso). To create art the mind must focus on how to create itself. Art in
whatever the form it is that we see it, has main characteristics that enhances the senses. It
is expressed that it can be interpreted in various ways by different people. Any type of art
essentially tells a story and is a form of communication with another human being that is
direct but deeply profound; ever heard of a picture containing 1000 or more words, deep in
its imprints is a deeper background, a hidden journey now revealed. It started back in the
day when people drew pictures of creatures, express their emotion, etc. to highlight points
in their life to show people instead of tell; which is easier if it‟s complicated for you to
explain something. The goal of expressing yourself through art are to identify and build
interest in a variety of art forms, while facilitating self-confidence and self-awareness
through media, music, theatre, visual arts, dance, etc. (Expressing).Without really noticing
our abilities form the start, people have a variety of things they can do that are all
essentially and expect of art. Talking is art just from the movement and the variety of all
voices. The beauty of the shape of and the vocal whispers are like instruments that play a
song that enhances how you see the world. People may not fully understand the big

picture of how much will be missing if art wasn‟t valued or seen or appreciated. Art in a
manual form itself help create the world of technology we live in today and more. You‟re
probably thinking „Manual?‟ There is a natural form of it too which is self-explanatory.
To get to your point of view, maybe you should think about the music you listen to. How
would it sound without a beat or some type of vocal expression. The one thing you‟ve
come to love would seem duller and not enjoyable. Try living with your world now upside
down and uneventful. You have just discovered the true meaning of „being bored‟.
Art goes back over hundreds and thousands of years. It has been a vital resource for
humans since the beginning of man (Alex). It‟s been a sign of relief and, like books, a wall
of memory. Art started simply by mans need to record. Prehistoric art was developed by
humans from the Stone Age periods when the first demonstrations that can be considered
art by humans appeared. During the Paleolithic, man practiced hunting and lived in caves,
where cave painting developed. After a transitional period in the Neolithic period, when
man became sedentary and engaged in agriculture, with society becoming increasingly
complex and religion gaining importance, the production of handicrafts commenced.
Finally, in the Bronze Age, the first proto-historic civilizations arise (history). Paintings
started the art manifestand still enroll as essential to life today. As time passed, people
started to gain interest in different materials such as Metals and Rocks. Art, in the first
period of history, began with the invention of writing, founded by the great civilizations of
Egypt, Mesopotamia, etc. One of the great advances was writing, generating primarily by
the need to keep records of economical and commercial nature. The Hanging Gardens of
Babylon is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and also one of the most
beautiful pieces of art. For such a society to create something so massive and breath taking

only reveals to the world of how much we can advance, Our society is blurred and uneven
brought together by so little things. It‟s now appropriate to think in terms of art as a global
culture (History).
Around the world people describe art as life changing; it has never been recorded as
instant fail; meaning having no effect in a better tomorrow or a waste of time. Many
people have presented what art had done to them, but only one was chosen; this is the story
of how it changed her life.
“Art was, more of a calling to me. I had a need to try and spread
the feeling of satisfaction so I started to teach it. It could me a lot of
things but the most sufficient definition I use is anything that causes
the imagination to ignite. I do believe art is created by everyone even
by simply dancing or an accident without the person even noticing
what they done. I wouldn‟t really separate art into different forms
because to me they all are equal in value and causes the exact same
emotion that leaves you in aww. When I see art created it makes me
proud, especially by my students. We both can find pleasure from a
project at its fullest. I don‟t really see anything of bad art. As long as
it‟s pleasing to my senses, which it always is, I am always happy.”
Morgan Dickens said this quote proud and without hesitant that art she believed was her
best choice in life. It could be easy or hard but art will never be undoable. Let society
notice the real accomplishments of art in its mental form.

Art enhances our lives into a better tomorrow. Used to relief stress, sometimes, it
can also create an environment of self-confidence. “If I didn‟t create, I think my shoulders
would implode form the stress of inactivity” (Alex). Art plays a large part in making our
lives infinitely rich (Esaak). Picasso is a famous artist who believed that the art you create
is you mentally. All you are really doing is reforming yourself onto a landscape. “Art
washes away from the soul, the dust form everyday life” (Picasso). They may even create a
piece they never thought they could get out of them. It could affect them so deeply no
matter if the image is vivid or eluded.He had said that “The hidden harmony is better than
the obvious” (Picasso). These quotes explain the realistic activities that goes on inside
your thoughts when you create, a way of finding yourself underneath those piles of years
of experience.
With the physical and mental outcome that goes by mostly unrecognized, imagine a
world where art never existed. It would be a world without culture empty and uneventful.
Without art the world would be a dark place, with mundane surroundings. Specifically,
drawing as an art form has allowed us as a society to advance in terms of creating
advertisements, architecture, and other necessities. Almost everything around you
involved some sort of art in creating it. Art has been important in helping us learn ever
since we were children by making us better thinkers in many aspects of school. Numerous
experts on the subject say without exposure to the arts from a young age as humans would
not have advanced as much as we have architecturally. (Alex). Without Art, the universe
would have no meaning.
