Art, in its broadest sense is a form of communication. It means whatever the artist intends it to
mean, and this meaning is shaped by the materials, techniques, and forms it makes use of as well
as the ideas and feelings it creates in its viewers . Art is an act of expressing feelings, thoughts,
and observations. But it is more personal than that it's about sharing the way we experience the
world, which for many is an extension of personality. It is the communication of intimate
concepts that cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone. Art, in any form can give people
emotions that can lift up their spirit and make them more driven than ever and this is the mere
reason why art is important in our daily lives. With the art that we are surrounded by, whether
it's a painting, music or even videos can have a huge impact on our mood and emotions.
We need the arts in difficult times Art reminds us that we are not alone and that we share a
universal human experience. Through art, we feel deep emotions together and are able to process
experiences, find connections, and create impact. Art helps us to record and process more than
just individual experiences. All kinds of art can affect our mood in a positive way, making us
feel happier, calmer, or even inspired to do something. Everywhere you go art is evident. Art
makes people optimistic about their future. Art can be used to help spread a message of
inspiration, making people achieve great things in life. Art can be a form of communication
between people, to focus on common issues for the betterment of humankind. Inspirational music
is the best form of creative art.
