essay for my english-class, art and us

Art is, in the first line, a way to express something. Loads of different kinds of Art exist, and the most aren’t known as such by the broad mass of people in our society. A simple scream is also Art. Expressing your anger and your aggressions using your voice instead of taking colours and pencils or instruments and music, can also be seen as just an expression of your state of mind, so, simply Art. People have always been trying to show their situation, even the Neanderthals with their cave-paintings. Every piece of Art has a topic, even modern Art. The artists state of mind, idea, issue, or just in overall something abstract, gets transferred to a concrete thing like a canvas, a melody or a piece of material, which is now open for more people than just for the artist himself. Adding the topic to the piece of art, the audiences or publics allocations are directed into the actual one of the artist. So furthermore, as in artist, you’re able to get a connection to the public. You’re able to express political arguments, without really mention them, which leads to the advantage that people now have to really start thinking about this issue and maybe realize important details. Writing poems and literature is also Art. Using metaphors and stylistic devices to set emphasizes on the main arguments, the writer is able to set a mental boarder, which the reader has to pass to get the sense of the text. This again, leads to the thinking process of the reader. The Greece used the theatre to educate people. Describing scenes of life and religion made the people understand those things, because they weren’t able to read. On the other hand, Art is also able to manipulate people in a negative way. Calming down people with background music in a shopping-mall, to buy more products is the wrong way to use music as art. Furthermore, angry and big statues of political rulers made the people quiet and shy to protest. Hitler and his assistants used cheerful and supporting songs sang by the young boys of the ‘HJ’ to make them believe in a good policy. Putting it into a nutshell, Art is important for the life of every individual, because every individual tries to count as such and wants to express his own sense of life.
