Abstraction: The Importance of Art in the Daily Life

Art surrounds life, all people in every location, without us being aware of it. Since
time immemorial, art has existed as long as man has. It is a huge part of our culture, which shapes
our ideas, and vice versa, and provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions, self-awareness,
and more.

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

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

III. Analysis:

Arguably, almost everyone has some 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 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 teacups can be considered a form of art. Our brain is just conditioned to think that these type
of items are not art when it’s only for decoration.

Art and Music

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
one’s motivation and determination. Similarly, when stress is high, many people find that relaxing
to calming music is something that eases the mind.

Site-Specific Art
Art, in any form, can give people emotions that can 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
utilizes 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 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, but it does make life joyful. As we continue our
journey of a fast-paced life with moments of quick decisions and fragmented thoughts, art allows
every moment to be memorable. Understanding our emotions can help us heal, grow and improve
ourselves. Increasing our self-awareness through art can lead to more success personally and
professionally.

Art can make a community more beautiful. It also makes the places we visit and spend time
more interesting. Through art, we gain a better understanding of cultures, history and tradition; as
well as help people in the present build better and more complete lives.

I have always heard sayings like "Why study art? Why not Engineering, Science or
Commerce?”, “Art won't get you anywhere," "Art is useless," "You won't get a proper job" etc. I
have also heard of situations of the school board planning to cut arts in schools, thinking that
students won't do well in their education. Well you know what, you all are wrong! Arts makes a
huge impact in our lives! Here are the reasons why art is important.

1. Arts improves your creativity skills. Whether it is cooking, painting or music, we do art
as if it’s our own.
2. Arts gives you joy. I smile whenever I sing my favorite song. Any kind of art can give
you so much happiness.
3. Arts relieves stress. Don't you go to another world when you just sing or listen to a
favorite tune?
4. Arts gives you the opportunity to showcase your talent. Even words doesn't give that
much opportunity like art does. By showing our talent, we show that there is something
special about us.
5. Arts gives you confidence. When I sing or perform, I feel so good about myself. I feel
there are no worries, hence I perform confidently.
 6. Arts helps you do well academically. Trust me, just a few hours of art will help you relieve
stress and give you happiness. With that your mind will be clear, and that would help you
focus on your studies, and that would help you get good grades. If you don't do art for
few hours, your mind would be stressed and you wouldn't be able to focus and do well.
7. Arts helps you to communicate with other people. I connect with people through music.
I have met most of my friends because of music.
8. Arts helps you learn visually Thanks to art, I have become a visual learner. Learning
visually helped me a lot in studies.
9. Arts helps you to express your emotions I use singing to showcase my emotions, whether
I am happy, sad or angry. And above all.
10. Art is a different language Art says things that even words cannot say. You don't need a
language to understand Art. Just a small painting, or a food item, or improvising a tune
or a step, can express a lot of things without words.

Arts have helped me a lot! As you may be aware, I have special needs! Due to that, I could
neither communicate well, nor do well academically. If there was something I could do well, it
was music. Music has changed my life. Now I want to use music as a way of connecting with
people. If it helped me, it could help a lot of other people who went through difficulties.

Arts is not a waste of time. It is not useless. Arts are very essential to our lives. Yes, I may not get
a wonderful job, but as long as it gives me happiness, and gives the best out of me, and at least
getting some payment, what's the problem? So my request is to please take the arts seriously.
Don't treat the arts as useless thing. Don't think that it destroys education, because it doesn't!

To the education board, please don't ever think of cutting the arts. If you care about your student's
education, then please consider the arts in your school. The arts bring out the best in everyone.
Hope you understand.

And for all the parents, relatives, neighbors etc. Try to consider your son/daughter/acquaintance
choice. If that's what makes them happy please support them. Don't be so money-minded, and don't
worry about the society says. Hope you guys understand too, how essential art is.

With art, we could bring in a lot change! It could help millions of people! Hope one day, the arts
could be considered seriously by most of the people!

I. Application:
Make your own art piece that shows your message of how art has been important to your own
Life. Strictly no words on that art piece and you can choose whatever art piece you think is
expressive of your own reason why Art is important. You have to make it by your own, be honest
and don’t ask anybody’s help in doing this activity. Your score depends if the output is
authentically yours and how relevant it is to your own reason why Art is important.
