Art is a great medium to channel expression. It is usually influenced by culture but some artists create through feelings. Art is an exhibition of the internal creative impulse.

Traditionally, art is subdivided into Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Music, Poetry, Dance and Performing, with the addition of comics and photography.

There are various ways to define arts, although my own suspicion is that you will get a greater results compared to others. I could say that art can make your life substantially abundant.

A world without art is totally boring. Art kindles different portion of our brains to make us laugh or provoke us to riot, with a full range of emotions in between.

With art, anyone can be creative and expressive of themselves. Some people consider art as their purpose to wake up every morning. Art, in a way, can make us become more thoughtful and well-versed beings.
