Importance of Art in Our Lives
Many people (who directly don’t associate with art on a daily basis) don’t know how much we depend on art in our daily lives. We are surrounded by art. Art makes a huge impact in our lives! (it is a primary source of income to some people such as graffiti artists and beads makers) Here are the reasons why art is Important;
1. Art is used as a tool for beautification
When setting up a house, the initial thoughts that ring to our minds are expensive and beautiful photographs on the walls of the house, beautifully decorated flowers, among other prints of the wall. This is why when you receive a visitor s/he will always ask “Where did you get this art?” “Wow! Where can I get this seat?” or “I want a watch like this one. You should take me where you bought this one.” Simply because you have good art.
2. Art gives us joy
Music and movies play major roles in our lives. For instance, when you are in a bad mood, what do you do to change your mood? When you sing a song that you love very much, how do you feel? When stress levels are high, most often music and other forms of art helps relax us and bring us comfort.
3. Art inspires us
More often than not when you walk around an art gallery, you will be inspired and amazed how artists came up with such great creativity and implementation of the original ideas . When listening to music, you wonder where that artist got those rhyming words.That’s why nowadays we use words from a popular song or character (“Wakanda” from “Black Panther” and “Catching feelings” from Nicki Minaj).
4. Art gives us confidence
When you present your art or perform your art in a huge crowd of people, you gain courage and confidence. You feel good about yourself.
5. Art improves our creativity
Art allows people to express themselves better. As an artist it’s always important to come up with new ideas each and every time. No graffiti artist or rap artist repeats their single styles over and over — they come up with new styles and ideas each and everyday to stay relevant and authentic in their works.
6. Art is very important to kids.
Art allows kids to express themselves freely compared to mathematics or science. Art requires no formula therefore it allows kids to express themselves authentically without fear of being criticized. In art class a kid might be told to paint what they have seen from home to school. The kids can easily spot and visualize related objects like people standing in a shop, cars on the road, or motorbike . Or they can be told to compose a new poem. Kids who study art are very creative, and they are very fast at solving problems.
