The Arts play a large role in the expression of inner thoughts and beauty in
my life. From dance and music to abstract art our concept of life is shown
through the various ways in which we interpret it. We use the Arts as a means
of touching that part of us that we cannot reach with Physical Science, Social
Science, or any of the Humanities. The arts allow us to be as specific or as
abstract as we please. It helps us become closer to ourselves and to others
around us. Though there has been a lot of confusion as to what the true
definition of “good art” is, how we show others what is going on in our minds
and inner souls cannot be judged, graded, criticized or revised by anyone
other than ourselves. The arts play a valued role in creating cultures and
developing and documenting civilizations. The arts teach us how to communicate
through creative expression. Show us how to understand human experiences, past
and present. Prepare us to adapt to and respect the ways others think, work,
and express themselves. Music, singing, dancing, poetry, and sketching are
just a few of the different forms of art that I use to express myself in a way
that I enjoy. Because each art discipline appeals to different senses and
expresses itself through different media, each adds a special richness to the
learning environment. Arts help people Learn to identify, appreciate, and
participate in the traditional and non-traditional art forms of their own
communities and the communities of others. Art teaches us how to be
imaginative, creative, and reflective. Different art forms help us develop the
verbal and nonverbal abilities necessary for lifelong learning. The
intellectual demands of the arts help us develop problem-solving abilities and
such powerful thinking skills as analyzing and evaluating. Numerous studies
point toward a consistent and positive comparison between concrete education
in the arts and student achievement in other subjects. A program in arts
education would engage students in a process that helps them develop the
self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation necessary for
success in life. Most important, the arts should be experienced and studied
for their own true value. If art was not present in my life, I know that I
would be missing so much. I would not be able to do the things that I love to
do each day. The only way to express yourself is through art, and the presence
of art in the lives of today’s society plays a big role. People listen to
music every day, they dance, and sing. For many people’s art is a way of life,
and without it they would be lost. Art is the only way to express one’s true
feelings. Without art the world would be a dull and sad place. People would
not be able to communicate in the same sense that art allows them to. Art
shows people’s individualism. Without art wouldn’t we all be the same?
