Art is one of the vital cogs in our lives. It constitutes one of the oldest form and most
important means of expression developed by man. It is a language, which is charged with
feelings and significance that has sprung up among men living together . For this, I am very
glad to experience the beauty of arts, to meet arts within my body and soul each day that we
live.
The teaching of the humanities is intended to make us students realize the mere possession of
knowledge is useless unless put to useful ends . The humanities are the stories, the ideas, and
the words that help us make sense of our lives and our world. The humanities introduce us to
people we have never met, places we have never visited.
By showing how others have lived and thought about life, the humanities help us
decide what is important in our own lives and what we can do to make them better . By
connecting us with other people, they point the way to answers about what is right or wrong,
or what is true to our heritage and our history.
In a state of confusion, the least that we can do is to study humanities or apply this to
our world. The humanities help us address the challenges we face together in our families,
our communities, and as a nation.
Moreover, we would become aware that knowledge alone is meaningless unless it is
accompanied by values, sentiments, priorities, insights, interrelationships and other
transcendent realities not subject to empirical proofs also form part of the person’s education .
In the humanities, we, must be exposed to these, thus, the development of the whole person,
which is the goal of the humanities.
