Why Arts should matter?

Art connects us to the world.

Just like what Dr. Jose “Butch” Dalisay Jr, said, “The humanities enrich
and ennoble us, and their pursuit would be worthwhile even if they were
not socially useful. But in fact, the humanities are socially useful. They
fulfill vitally important needs for critical and imaginative thinking about
the issues that confront us as citizens and as human beings. We need
the humanities. Without the we cannot possibly govern ourselves wisely
or well.”

By elaborating it, Art matters because one would be able to learn

something about other people and places that one would have never
known otherwise. It also depicts human experience and would bring
enlightenment. It also helps us to see the world from different
perspectives as art tells us about certain places and the feeling when
you are in that certain place or the feeling that you might get when
you’re in a situation that the art presents.

It is important in humanity as it allows individual to express unique

creativity towards the world. It can be in classical form of art which is
paintings or sculptures or even in performing branch of art. It also offers
self-affirmation and reflection.
 The arts matter because they are the one thing on this planet with the
power to change a person's view, frame of mind, suppositions, beliefs,
and ideas ; they can reshape a place, represent a community, send
you back in time, or move you forward into the future ; they can help
people recognize where they came from or where they are headed
and grapple with the beauty and uncertainty of everything that
happens in them.
