Art has existed since humans life began. Thanks to the arts, we know about our past, our present and “our future”. Humans started expressing themselves by drawings, then by signs, then by sounds, later by words, followed by the alphabet and finally by writing. All humans’ forms of communications such as verbal (poetry and singing), writing (books), dancing, acting, painting, photography and so on are types of art. The difference forms of communications give the options for people to choose which way to express. I completely agree with what Murray Sidlin said “When words are no longer adequate, when our passion is greater than we are able to express in a usual manner, people turn to art. Some people go to the canvas and paint; some stand up and dance. But we all go beyond our normal means of communicating and this is the common human experience for all people on this planet.”
Many students believe that because they don’t know how to draw a “perfect” flower, then they are not a good artist. However, not everyone has the same concept of how flowers are. Each person is a unique world, and each of them has their own perception. I believe that art class must be a requirement to take from elementary to high school in order to graduate. Art helps students develop and demonstrate their intelligence, emotions and creativity. If more students at the beginning of their education were to get to know the importance of art, I wonder if they would make art a significance part of their life.
