The Importance of Art
Description
“Art is so important because it can get us to places that we can't get to any other way.”
– Andrew Garfield
Anything that is considered to be art by anyone helps take you somewhere.
Sometimes it’s to a place you’ve never imagined.
Sometimes it’s to a very familiar place.
Art has the ability to speak to people of different languages and cultures. It has the ability to make you feel and think.
Art can give you an escape as well as create moments of immense focus. It has this ability to be the reason people debate and the reason people come together.
Art is powerful and it is also gentle. It is impactful and yet can be intentionally unnoticeable.
Art has the ability to be all of these things and more.
But only if the creator of the art truly puts their own uniqueness into the work.
How will you put yourself into your art, whatever it is, today?
