Artist in Society




There is not near enough favorable emphasis put on art today. It is a way of expressing emotions in a positive way. It is somewhat theraputic, a way of letting out excess thoughts and helps to process them. Beauty is a very important aspect in life, and to capture it in an art form is very spectacular. People's emotions are stimulated from observing art work. It can also landmark someone's life at crucial points

Art can take many forms, painting, crafts, and sculpture. It can tell things about periods in time, relaying what went on, doing it in a way that nothing else could display it or imitate it. Through art we have gained knowledge of times long ago, what the style of dress, the way they looked, and what the terrain looked like. It is a way of comparing the present time period with that of another. Some things have been captured by art, that might not have been otherwise recorded so vividly. If things were positive or negative in a certain time period. It was a way of recording it too for history. It also relays emotions of time periods, happiness, sadness, despair, life style, what types of architecture, mode of dress, and sometimes even the types of fruit indigenous of what particular time period. If there were activities going on, was it positive did the whole area take part in it? Was the area affluent or were they poor? Were there uprisings going on, political unrest, and were wars waged? Some artists can depict all of this with such realism it is remarkable.
