Art for Everyone

It is very difficult to imagine how different your life would have been if you were not exposed to arts and craft from a young age. You can find a lot of people who didn’t get dragged to art museums as children, and somehow, they feel that they disconnected from the world of art. Many people think of art to be inaccessible to them.

That is just not the case.

Art is a universal language, so why do so many of us distance ourselves from every opportunity to partake in it?

Critics might call art to be useless and that it serves no purpose in our world, that it is nothing but a frivolity in a society that values efficiency and technology over something abstract and that art is only for the upper class. And although almost every one of us has abandoned that idea, along with several other medieval notions, there still remains a large group of people that believe they cannot benefit from art.

So, let’s take a step back, what do I even mean when I say art?

Art is the ultimate expression of human creativity.

Every person who is reading this blog right now enjoys art in at least one of its many forms. We all listen to music, watch movies, wear clothes and the list goes on.

Yes, paintings and sculptures and theatre are art, but it is more than that. Art is something that fuels our culture. Art is an illustration of human passion. Without art, humans would have nothing. We would all be walking around like robots and doing only what is absolutely necessary to survive and nothing else.
