WHY IS ART IMPORTANT?
WHY IS ART IMPORTANT? ART RAISES QUESTIONS AND COMPELS YOU TO THINK. ART GIVES YOU PERMISSION TO EXPLORE AND EXPRESS YOUR INNER THOUGHTS AND DESIRES. ART IS FUN. ART IS CONNECTED TO NATURE AND HISTORY AND THE HUMAN CONDITION. ART CREATES BALANCE IN THE WORLD. ART CONNECTS WITH LIFE.
