Art is everywhere. No matter how hard you try you could never not find art.
Art can combine culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art makes money and holds important emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, but they also gain a unique experience and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want things anymore; they want to experience life — the arts are a perfect crossover (交叠) between culture and commerce.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological (心理的) health. It is found that people who take part in artistic events often are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to better the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education. Those taking part in drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice show greater skills in math and languages. Participating in the arts is important for child development. Encouraging children to express themselves in positive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, making people feel less lonely and safer. Social bonds (社会纽带) are created among individuals when they share their art experiences through reflection and discussion.
Important to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
