Importance of Art in our life

                                     Importance of Art in our life

India is considered to be a melting pot of cultures. On 26th January, 2015, I saw a wonderful cultural programme of New Delhi. It was a programme

full of beautiful themes representing each state of our country. I felt extremely proud about the fact that our country is perhaps the only country which has maintained such unity in diversity. On that day, a thought came across my mind that how art can make us feel blessed.

There are two types of art (1) Art for art sake (2) Art for life sake. Art for art sake means to do something artistic without any commercial purpose. It is done for one's own satisfaction. For example, a painter makes painting for his/her satisfaction and not for commercial purposes. On the other hand, art for life sake means to do something artistic focusing on commercial purposes. For example, Charles Dickens, a popular novelist who wrote to earn money.

There are many types of arts like dancing, singing, painting, teaching, music, film making etc.

“ Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.”

                                                        - Jonathan Swift


Art is what makes life much more meaningful and beautiful to live. Art provides us with a sense of relief in our mundane life. We achieve aesthetic pleasure in art.

Art allows us to be free and feel liberated in the world is full of hypocrisy and showmanship. Even in education art/s should be made compulsory so that we don't cease to be humans in this modern machinic world.

I would like to end by quoting Albert Einstein.

                    “ Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
