Art is the language where one can express themselves without telling anyone what their words are. Art is history culture, art is geography countries weather, art is physical education with body’s and hand the motion and the smoothness. Art is the world and which is more without art the world would be colourless. Visiting our National Museum is a wonderful experience that you can keep until your last breath.

My Reaction:
Art is the way that we express what matters to us the most, and set it down to last the ages. Without Art, nothing is captured, created, remembered. We must all give something to the world to be our legacy, whether it’s a child, or a book, or a place, or a song. Good art is far from being a waste of time! It has many purposes: to capture moments in history (whether personal or public), to bring up pleasant thoughts in a viewers mind, to enlighten a viewer, to provide a means of escape, and much more. A world without art is a world devoid of a large chunk of personality, feeling, and some amazing moments of human creativity and accomplishment.
Divergent and abstract thinking , which lead to the formation of new ideas, are essential to the progression of mankind; who so often becomes trapped within limited models of understanding. Art is the playground of the imagination and the facilitator of invention. Without Art the world would be an extremely dreary place to live in, where no one could express themselves or show their imagination or creativity. Therefore Art is a form of what is in our minds , even if you construct something that isn’t necessarily from your mood/feelings. Moreover without Art or any other Arts subject then we wouldn’t be able to communicate with each other e.g. languages and music etc. Therefore how would we live without being able to speak to each other. This would mean that we wouldn’t know if someone was alright or not without a form of communication , for example if someone was ill or something of that sort. Moreover without Art how would academic subject matter come into existence? Even someone like Einstein whom was a Scientific genius would of had to be creative in order to achieve an outcome. You could even look at Science in general. With Science there have always been theories. But how would a theory come into existence without someone thinking of how a certain process happens? Therefore Art and the creative industry is a major aspect of our society and world. spend hours creating a picture just to express your feelings.
