Some people believe that Art gives our lives meaning and purpose. Others believe that it is merely a distraction from real life. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Art

is surrounding our daily lives. Some may cherish the beauty of

art

around us and appreciate the meaning behind it, while others think that

art

is an unrealistic

form

of expression that distract humans from their existence. I strongly believe that

art

plays a major role in our day-to-day life by giving it meaningful stories and unforgettable memories.

Art

is a

form

of expression that can be used as a method of teaching and solving mental health issues.

Moreover

,

art

comes in different mediums

such

as book illustrations, paintings, sculptures and many others. Schools use

art

to narrate stories to children as well as to educate them about general topics that are challenging to grasp via reading or listening only. Drawings and pictures as a

form

of

art

can not only widen the child’s imagination

but help in the development of an adult’s cognitive skills too.

In addition

, mental health specialists use

art

to communicate with their patients. Some adults and youths can only express their hidden feelings through a

form

of

art

, which can help doctors to diagnose certain mental problems.

Therefore

,

Art

has the power to move individuals to social action, manipulate and influence, entertain, and educate. In rational to those who think

art

is disruptive. In my opinion,

this

notion may have emerged from people who are a one-sided view and are fully immersed in their job routine, and they become blind to gaze into the beautiful

art

they encounter.

Furthermore

, for those who argue that

art

is unreal, undoubtedly,

art

has recorded real history and brought us back in time to the ancient era, where engraved paintings were found in caves and historical stories were revealed. Despite all

this

,

art

in a few situations may be dangerous if emotions were negatively triggered and misused improperly.

For example

, the famous artist Van Gough cut off his ear to mimic the exact anatomy of it in his drawing.

However

,

this

incident cannot be generalized as the artist suffered from hallucinations in which he lost consciousness. Poetry, drama, music, painting, and dance, all stir up our emotions. All of the arts move people powerfully. They can strongly influence our
