There are many conceptions of art, and of its role.

Art ought to be defined as the

product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance)
in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and
intellect. It will have encompassed a diverse range of human activities, creations,
and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture,
and paintings.
The most common concept of art as pieces of work—whether paintings or
sculptures, displayed in galleries and museums is not the case in today’s modern
world. In fact, people at present acknowledge that there is so much more to art than
what you can see displayed in intimidating art galleries. Indeed, you don`t have to
be said that art surrounds life, every people in every location, without us being really
aware of it.
Since time immemorial, art must have existed as long as man. It is a huge part of
our culture which is to shape our ideas, and vice versa, provide us with a deeper
understanding of emotions, self-awareness, and more. That’s why primitive man
created drawings in the caves perpetuated the most important events of his life.

People usually have one of these two popular opinions about art: either it's a great
thing and everyone should do some kind of art or art has no point other than a hobby
and isn't worth anyone's time. But art is actually very important and beneficial for
individuals as well as societies as a whole:

1. Art is therapeutic.

The recent popularity in adult coloring books is just one example of how art can be
therapeutic. Anyone can use these books to wind down and relax after a hard day
and see art therapy in action. Art therapy is also used for mental escapes from
illnesses, treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and dyslexia.

2. Art comes in many forms.

Because art has such a wide range of forms, often people can find some kind that
they enjoy. Art can be things like drawing or painting, computer art, sculpture,
crafts, or photography. There are many more types, these are just a few.

3. Can art teach us about history?

Yes, you’ve probably studied art in a history or foreign language class. Historical art
shall show up how people looked, what was going on, and how people felt about
certain situations at the time. Political cartoons show us the opinions of those who
don’t approve of something, while paintings from the Renaissance show us how
religious people were in that period. Without art we wouldn’t know as much about
the history of ourselves and other groups.

4. Art gives people a different way to communicate.

People can express themselves many ways, including the way they dress, through
writing, and how they present themselves on social media. Art is different because
it can be so abstract or very representational when wanted. Art gives people the
ability to communicate their thoughts or feelings in a way that is different from any
other kind of communication.

5. Art helps us see other perspectives.

Artists often use their work to show people their own views. Being able to see
different views through art might help us broaden our own perspective and
understand other points of view.

6. Art is one of the few subjects that is hands-on.

Many school subjects can be viewed as boring by students because they are based
on strictly taking notes and listening to a lecture. Art classes engage and interest the
students because it is hands-on learning that lets them express themselves and gives
them a break from the tedious note-taking classes.
7. Art is essential for childhood development.

Art teaches kids important things like motor skills and colors. Without letting children
color and do crafts, their fine motor skills would not be developed adequately and
their ability to identify colors would be less developed.

Many people fail to realize how art impacts their daily life. Everybody uses art on a
continual basis. Majority doesn’t know how much of a role art plays in our lives and
just how much we rely on art in all of its forms in our everyday lives.

Why should art be important in our daily lives? Because we are surrounded by art,
and without it, the human race will not be as you know it.

Arguably, almost everyone must have any form of art in their home—a painting, a
framed photograph, a table centerpiece, and even the main layout and design of a
house is art. Art is not purely for looking at and admiring, a lot of it is to be functional
too, especially when it comes to our homes. Everything from a delightfully patterned
quilt on the bed or even your decorative tea towels and tea cupscan be considered a
form of art, our brain is just conditioned to think that it is not art when it’s not only
for decoration.

Music, same as art, is a universal language and its importance to our daily lives is
undeniable. Subconsciously, we hear music through television shows, commercials,
radio and through other media. Sounds, songs and music can make life extremely
joyful and can have a huge effect on our mood.

It has a positive impact to people’s moods and perspective. It can boost productivity
and boost up motivation and determination. Similarly, when stress is high, many
people find that relaxing to calming music is something that eases the mind.
Art, in any form, may give people emotions that may lift up their spirit and make
them more driven than ever. One of the most common trends in the tourism industry
is hospitality art, which is to utilize art to invite guests and engage them more
throughout their stay. Corporate art inspires workers and boosts productivity using
art inside the workplace. Hospital art, or healing art is also one way of helping
patients recover faster and their family and healthcare workers to regain their
composure and stay calm.

Art is everywhere, influencing us on a daily basis, whether we realize it or not. 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.

People think that science and technology are superior to art. But art makes life
worthwhile. It may not be vital to fulfill our basic needs; it does make life joyful.
As we continue to journey a fast-paced life, moments of quick decisions and
fragmented thoughts, art allows every moment memorable. Understanding our
emotions can help us heal, grow and improve ourselves. Increasing our self
awareness through art can lead to more success both personally and professionally.

Art can make a community more beautiful. It also makes the places we go and spend
time in more interesting. Through art we gain a better understanding of cultures,
history and tradition; as well as help the people in the present weave their own today.
