While art is often seen as a collection of splotches on paper, its beauty and power has been demonstrated beyond all doubt. Art can be used in many different ways and has now become available in many forms. Art can bring people together from all walks of life and have a positive impact on everyone who sees it. Art has been proven useful in real-world situations. Most people view art as entertainment or decoration, and don’t realize how significant it can make on their daily lives. Art can change society’s perceptions on many topics every day.
People tend not to interact well with each other, as there isn’t a solid foundation upon which to build relationships. Because art is made in such a way, people can see it in ways that even people who may think they are different can relate to one other. A painting showing a child starving would be a common sight for people of different social classes. The artwork might not make an immediate impact, but it can ignite a passion in people to change the way they think and act. Art was used long before the advent of computers to keep track and record events. Early humans used cave paintings to communicate their thoughts and to paint stories about animals, events, families, etc. Modern researchers can confirm and find information through these cave paintings. Cave paintings were a key part of the ancient research process. Without them, there would have been no way to do extensive research and the public would not be able to learn much about the early peoples.
However, most people don’t seem to grasp the fact that propaganda, in its various forms, can be quite effective in the present and past. Many have volunteered to fight in the past and are now actively supporting the cause. People were made to feel important and higher than they were by using the ‘I Want You!!’ poster during wars. This outlet would have made it impossible to complete many tasks and America wouldn’t be able to claim as many victories. This form of art is extremely useful and should not be forgotten.
Art is fascinating to look at, but what’s really striking about it? Its availability. You can make art in many forms regardless of the occasion or issue. The art industry has made significant strides and will continue its usefulness to society, no matter how many people agree or disagree.
