How Art impacts our Day-to-Day Lives
Art is a widely ranged word that makes an impact on every aspect of our life. Art is everywhere, influencing us daily. Whether it be painting, sketching, sculpting, photography, creating music, or dancing. It allows us to convey concepts beyond the mere meaning of words and a variety of ways to express ourselves. Art is what is said without speaking. It has the power to change our opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. We can use them to help us have boundless imaginations.
Art gives meaning to our lives and helps us understand our world. It is an essential part of our culture because it allows us to have a deeper understanding of our emotions. To take a song and play it, to recreate a moment or represent a feeling, is all art.
Art increases our self-awareness, and also allows us to be open to new ideas and experiences which leads to opening our minds and hearts. It shows us all that could be possible in the world. Art introduces us to a whole new set of experiences and ideas that we may have never witnessed before. We can see the perspective of the people around us and are never limited to just one opinion.
When we connect with a particular art piece, this experience comes down to intuitively connecting with the artist's story, voice, and experience. You are being welcomed into the artist's world and through that, we are ultimately connecting with our inner selves. Art enables us to look within and to listen to ourselves, realize who we are, and what we care about. As people, we tend to make emotional choices that are passionate to us, which allows us to realize what we care about and what we stand for. When we are certain of our values, we tend to be happier and healthier as individuals because we can figure out our life’s purpose.
Art is what makes life worthwhile. It may not be vital to fulfill our basic needs, but it does make life joyful. As we continue our journey of a fast-paced life with moments of quick decisions and fragmented thoughts, art allows every moment to be memorable. Art makes the world around us look beautiful and more interesting. It helps us grow and live more complete lives.
