auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), which express the creator’s imagination. Art
is generally understood as any activity or product done by people with a communicative
or aesthetic purpose. Something that expresses an idea or more generally, a world
view. It is a component of culture, reflecting economic and social in its design. It’s a
creative activity that expresses imaginative mind. The product of art is called a work of
art, for others to experience.

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 better understanding of our emotions.
It increases our self-awareness, and also allows us to be open to new ideas and
experiences.

Art surrounds life, all people in every location, without us being aware of it. Since time
immemorial, art has existed as long as man has. It has huge part of our culture, which
shapes our ideas, and vise versa, and provides us with a deep understanding of
emotions, self-awareness and more.
Arts in the Home

Some forms of art can be found at home. Obviously the first thing that might come
to mind will be a painting, print and photographs on the wall. If don’t have any of these
things adoring on your wall, you’d be surprised at how much art you actually have if you
look around.

Art is no purely for looking at and admiring, a lot if is functional too, especially when it
comes to our homes. Altered guilt on the bed or an angle painted lamp can be
considered a form of art.

Arts in School

Art in school connect students with their own culture and as well as with the wider
world. Art instruction helps students with the development of motor skills, language
skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking and inventiveness. The world provide
challenges for learners at all levels.

Art education allows students to express themselves and think outside the box.
Collaboration, working together for a common purpose teaches learner that their
contribution is important which is perfect for the collaborative nature of arts.
Roles of Art in Society

Keeping a Historical Record

History can be recorded visually. In fact, much of ancient art was created when a
most of the population were illiterate. Painting, oral history, music, sculpture and
handmade objects can all serve as a record of those times. In societies where art
played a central role, the population better understood visual symbolism than words.
For example, the tympanum of a medieval cathedral (the arch above the main
entrance) often portrayed a sculptural representation of the joys of heaven and the
torments of hell.

Giving Form to Intangibles

Emotions such as fear and love are familiar to everyone, but can't be seen. Art
makes these experiences visible. In the curve of a Rodin hand or the scream of a
Francis Bacon head, the viewer can see human experience.
 Revealing the Hidden

Picasso once said that “art is a lie that reveals the truth.” A skilled artist can bring out
hidden or obscure truths. Picasso's Guernica is a powerful example of this role. It is
not a literal portrayal of the 1937 massacre at Guernica, but something much more
powerful: an image that reveals the suffering of the victims, Picasso's interpretation
of their inner experience.

Showing the World in a New Way

An artist sees the same things as others but interprets them in an innovative way.
The vision of the artist can be a gift and an inspiration to others whose perception
has become clouded. Seeing the world through the eyes of the artist can help
people see the world in new ways.

The Power of Art

Art had the power to move people and offer new experiences. Be it painting, drama,
song, poem, novel, a spastic temporal experiment or any sculpture, art may motivate
people to think about life positively or differently. It motivates people to attribute new
meaning to life and existence.
Activity 1
