“Art is the activity by which a person, having experienced an emotion, intentionally transmits it to others.” – Leo Tolstoy
The artwork is the physical analogy of a culture’s views, practices, and ideals. It displays the essences of humans via their drawing, carving, painting, body adornment, and folklore. Artwork can assist one to understand a subculture which can otherwise be tough to relate to since it reaches human beings on a fundamental emotional level. Even though artwork can vary substantially among different cultures, it can, at the same time, be a medium that bridges the differences of the cultures. It may be used to symbolize the core values of a society. Artwork can also be utilized by communities to show their explicit power, status, and rank.
At some point of the Victorian period in England, girls started a revolution by making a name for themselves with such conventional works of Art like Elizabeth Sirani's "Portia Wounding Her Thigh," a portrait that signifies that a lady is now inclined to distance herself from gender biasedness.
The painting’s subject depicts an act done by a lady to show that she owns equal power as that of a male. "Portia" represents surrender because she isn't similar to other kinds of females acknowledged by society as vulnerable and susceptible to gossip. Many such Artworks within history opened the doors of the art world to women to showcase the potential of women in Art.
“The fact is that Art is not just practice - it's far more than a manner of life. Art is greater than just a skill - it is passion. Art is greater than simply a picture - each one telling a beautiful story!”
There also are pieces of paintings that have un-acceptably loud and rebellious intellectual ideas – the type that may question norms and change the behaviour of society. Sometimes, the artwork is created to connect or to reach out to someone who shares the same thoughts, feelings, and stories as a craftsman.
The fact that artwork is entirely related to human experience makes it very obvious that we've always made it part of our living right from ancient times. That is why ancient and present-day indigenous artists from all over the world have a knack of blending artwork and their traditional artefacts or rituals unknowingly, which in reality is an essential motive behind why Art is important.
People who can't understand Art say it is boring. However, the reality says that the artwork has the electricity to take cultural practices from where they belong to a whole new culture and integrate with distinctive cultures of the world without dropping their identification.
These art pieces may be used to create consciousness, entertain, and even encourage foreigners to accept those cultures, regardless of how unusual or alien they'll appear.
“Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.” - Stephen Sondheim
Art is specifically vital in our globalized world. The artwork has an essential position in supporting the fights against racism, intolerance of different cultures, and various forms of unjust societal segregation. With innovative immigration, an intergrated movement can move art to a new level of awareness, the countries are anticipated to be more open-minded and accepting immigrants who enter their borders.
Artists can reinforce the will and push humans to perform. They do not think like lawmakers or professors. They feel from their heart – massive, revolutionary, and visionary thoughts. That is why artists are capable of moving people to action and enabling people to create meaningful cultural and political contributions.
