The Arts play a large role in the expression of inner thoughts and beauty in my life. From
dance and music to abstract art our concept of life is shown through the various ways in
which we interpret it. We use the Arts as a means of touching that part of us that we
cannot reach with Physical Science, Social Science, or any of the Humanities. The arts
allow us to be as specific or as abstract as we please. It helps us become closer to
ourselves and to others around us. Though there has been a lot of confusion as to what
the true definition of "good art" is, how we show others what is going on in our minds
and inner souls cannot be judged, graded, criticized or revised by anyone other than
ourselves. 
The arts play a valued role in creating cultures and developing and documenting
civilizations. The arts teach us how to communicate through creative expression. Show us
how to understand human experiences, past and present. Prepare us to adapt to and respect
the ways others think, work, and express themselves. Music, singing, dancing, poetry, and
sketching are just a few of the different forms of art that I use to express myself in a
way that I enjoy.
Because each art discipline appeals to different senses and expresses itself through
different media, each adds a special richness to the learning environment. Arts help
people Learn to identify, appreciate, and participate in the traditional and
non-traditional art forms of their own communities and the communities of others. Art
teaches us how to be imaginative, creative, and reflective. Different art forms help us
develop the verbal and nonverbal abilities necessary for lifelong learning. The
intellectual demands of the arts help us develop problem-solving abilities and such
powerful thinking skills as analyzing and evaluating. Numerous studies point toward a
consistent and positive comparison between concrete education in the arts and student
achievement in other subjects. A program in arts education would engage students in a
process that helps them develop the self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and
self-motivation necessary for success in life. Most important, the arts should be
experienced and studied for their own true value.
If art was not present in my life, I know that I would be missing so much. I would not be
able to do the things that I love to do each day. The only way to express yourself is
through art, and the presence of art in the lives of today's society plays a big role.
People listen to music every day, they dance, and sing. For many people's art is a way of
life, and without it they would be lost. Art is the only way to express one's true
feelings. Without art the world would be a dull and sad place. People would not be able
to communicate in the same sense that art allows them to. Art shows people's
individualism. Without art wouldn't we all be the same?
