Art, for me, is entirely emotional intelligence. Art comes from what can be
seen, felt, heard, or touched, it is formed by what we think of and feel, and art balances
both of them through the works of music, painting, and particular ways of expressing our
emotions and imagination, and every artist has their own way of describing both, may it
be singing or sketching it. Every masterpiece has its own uniqueness, which makes the
artwork more valuable.

Without art, we are likely to live in a black and white world with no hope, no
joy, and have a meaningless way of living life. On the other hand, living with art is like
living with the desire to achieve a specific goal or, in other words, a positive mindset.
Sadly, art isn't totally all about happiness, it's also about sorrow as it enlightens us about
the things and people around us and gives us an understanding of how the world revolves
in our lives.

Furthermore, art has changed numerous cultures and traditions up to this day.
It is changing from generation to generation, and it has powerfully affected how we look
at society. Because of that, we are becoming more aware of what we are doing to
ourselves and others. Unfortunately, some artists are biased in terms of money and
popularity. Several cultures and traditions were constantly falling apart because of the
massive influence of pop culture. Almost everyone was looking at the price tag of the
artwork instead of witnessing its significance.

Art plays a significant role in our lives as it enables us to become imaginative

and expressive people. It shows a way to inspire and change a large group of people
through our ideas and perspectives. It also advocates self-awareness, teaching us how
to be wise individuals.
