Holaa intellectual peeps

Welcome and welcome back to another very important article of your life ;)

Wow, Amazing, it's beautiful, outstanding, superb, relaxing .......etc these are not just words but our expressions coming out of our deep hearts. They emerge because we have experienced something so soothing, peaceful, and stunning piece of Art.

The Art forced these truly positive comments to come out from that heart that is filled with darkness and light in equal proportion.

Okay, too much ‘art'. Firstly, what is it, and why it is important?

Well, defining art is not easy as it has different meanings for different people.

But here is the simplest definition...

It is an activity that manifests beauty, a way of grasping the world, not merely the physical world but the spiritual one, and spirituality means inner peace so ultimately Art is something that has the potential to satisfy us with inner peace.

Let me be more clear, Art is the process of consciously arranging components in a way that attracts the senses and emotions. These components will be the lyrics of some songs, notes of some music, colors of some paintings, moves of some dancers, acting of some actors, photos of some photographers, smiles of someone, and the list goes on.

Oh did I miss someone’s talent here? Sumimasen :| but it actually involves everything that can make you spellbound.

Meaning of Art is incomplete without its herculean importance in our lives, here they are-

1-Art enhance creativity and innovation so art is Self-advancement.

2-Art is a way of exploring ourselves, generating more vitality and energy and it is what we call "a kick".

3-Music, a form of Art bringing us to a world of beats and consequently beats the damn stress. The guitar's vibration somehow resonates with our heartbeat, giving us a soothing touch.

4-When we draw something, we draw our psychological reflections. Drawing helps us in organizing our thoughts.

5-Dance, one of the most enjoyable pieces of Art helping us not only physically but mentally too. Every move of dance forces the wrath, irritation, and anxiety to come out of our brains.

6-Singing always connects us with our emotional personalities. The lyrics we usually sing are recollections that our heart has seized for so long. Thus, singing brings all those memories and put them against our eyes like a movie.

7- Writing is the best way to explore ourselves, it functions as a pump, pumping out every detail from the depth of our brain. Writing poems is like synchronizing the hearts with every rhyme and verse of that poem.

8- Photography requires patience and focus, favoring us in self-improvement. Photography is a way of watching the world with a new lens. Photography freezes time and gives us enough moments to enjoy.

9-Sporting is the blend of different varieties of Art, the art of teamwork, controlling emotion, accepting defeat, etc.

10-Acting is the art of elaborating a variety of personalities and characters. For example in a show you are performing the act of a psycho killer, here you can feel that personality. I want to explain a bit, we have every kind of character some are in the conscious state and some are in the subconscious and yes, acting brings our subconscious character in limelight, helping us to understand the different shades of each character.

There are infinite examples to explain the significance of Art.

Art is very important in the society because it is an essential ingredient in empowering the hearts of people. Without art, we are like animals who do nothing just eat and sleep. If God has given us anxiety then he has given us ‘Art’ as well. Art and Mediation are similar, the process may differ but the result is the same.

Here one thing should be clear; ‘Performing Art’ and ‘Watching a piece of Art’ are two different things. The fundamental difference between them is that art is about who has produced it, whereas another one depends on who’s looking.

For example - Virat Kohli's cover drive, Ab de Villiers' 360°shots, Leo Messi' Dribbling, Leonardo DiCaprio's acting, Tom Cruise'stunt, and Nolan's Direction are pieces of Art for us but performed by them. The outcome of all is different for us as we enjoy them as spectators, whereas they enjoy their respective arts in different ways.

In the end, I want to quote my favorite dialogue- "We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, and engineering, are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

In a nutshell, Art is more than just a practice – it is a way of life. It is more than just a skill – it is a passion. Art is more than just an image – every piece here tells a story.

Thanks for making it till here:). I really appreciate your constant support.
