Hello everyone,
Happy weekend to you all.
Art is something I consider as a mirror that reflects the value and aspiration of our lives, art is what binds culture with our lives together, it has the ability to influence our perspective as humans. The importance of art in our society can not be overstated, it's just a way we can express our emotions and feelings. Some words we can outter are better expressed.
The very essence of art is the fact that it functions as a channel that allows individuals to express themselves, convey Their thoughts into writing, acting, singing, literature or drawings. Art acts as an encapsulation of human experiences.
There is a profound value art has placed on society ; it serves as a virtual way to narrate the history of events, cultural traditions and norms. It's a way we get to know the values and beliefs of a particular set of people, for example the celebration of yam festivals in Africa and many other historical events.
One of the reasons why I love art is because it gives me the ability to evoke my emotions and think critically when there is an issue, for me it has enhanced my thinking perspective. I don't see things as one-sided . I will try to see from different angles. Art encourages empathy and stimulates conversations and creativity.
Art is beyond expression of emotions but it nourishes our souls, for example music which happens to be a therapy for many individuals it has the power to heal and inspires the soul from sadness to laughter.
What really draws me closer to art is the ability embedded in it to evoke my emotions and provoke my thoughts.for me art is a language that is understood across the globe and beyond every barrier, offering a glimpse of light into the depth of every human experience. Moreover the creativity behind art is really what is amazing to me, the way it turn out emotions and visions into tangible form is wowing.
