LESSON 8. What is art to you?

Communicative area: giving an opinion on what role art plays in our lives; writing an article on this issue

1. a. Answer the questions. Compare your answers in pairs.

1. Why do people make art? 2. How does art influence people? 3. What would our life be like without art?

b. Read the following opinions. Were your ideas similar to any of these? Which questions from ex. 1a does each person answer?

A. Art stimulates our mind and gives us the opportunity to explore our creative side. Art in any form entertains, informs, educates and enlightens us in every possible way. It gives us the meaning of everything we see around us. Without it, our lives would simply become plain, boring and lifeless. And the world around would be like a blank piece of paper.

B. Art is an expression of one's self. Through art, we can express our emotions, such as happiness, love, sadness or grief. It is our medium to share our hidden talents, and for the world to know how creative we are.

C. Each form of art is different, but they are somehow related to our souls and emotions. Any form of art makes us realise how great these works of art are, and it's deeply touching. Art teaches us to become observant and grateful.

observe (v.) - observant (adj.)

D. Art to me is my life itself. I can't imagine not being an artist. Art is my best friend, my therapist and at times a nuisance because it takes me away from being social. It's worth it because I understand how much of a dedication and loyalty it is. You get out of it what you put in. Art keeps me balanced and sane (=not mentally ill) because I need something to look forward to after work every day.

E. It plays a vital part in the lives of creative people. It's expression, but it's more than just expression. It's something that plays a part in your ability to be happy and satisfied.

F. Art stirs up emotions, happy or sad, disturbing or exciting. Art makes you feel, and art makes you think. Pieces of art can make you question not only the artist's interpretation or message, but also your own feelings. Why does a certain painting make you hopeful? Why can a performance move you to tears? Art can predict the future, and art can show the past.

G. Feeling frustrated, depressed, anxious, angry? Art is the best personal healer during stressful times.

H. Art influences people by inspiring them. Inspiration affects everyone in different ways. That's the magical thing about art – everyone experiences it differently, and therefore, it influences everyone differently. Through art we have a remarkable opportunity to step into the shoes of someone else for a while, to see the world as they see it or want to see, and through that process we discover things about our lives and the world.

I. I hope my art can lift your spirit! My aim is to create paintings and prints with the belief that art can inspire people, make a house a home, and bring joy and positive energy into the world!

J. Pablo Picasso once said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls". I couldn't agree more! Art heals, gives hope and motivates us to keep on going whatever happens.

K. Art keeps you young. Not physically, but mentally. Art keeps you open to new things and helps you see the universal things that matter. Your mind is flexible, less fearful, you learn more, and you take yourself less seriously.

L. Life without art would be boring, dull, colourless, and uninspiring. Art is everywhere in our lives and shapes who we are as people.
