Life is an art itself. It is the emotions you pour out, the smile you show to the world, and your laughter that echoes as a lullaby. Art is more than what we see in art galleries or museums. Art is with us as we go on with our lives. We may not notice, but art is in our everyday life, even on ordinary days. Through art, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. It makes everything beautiful.
Imagine if art does not exist at all. Imagine a world where there are no movies, no music, no paintings, and no drawings. We will live our lives in black and white.
Art is everywhere. We see art from the moment we open our eyes to the moment before we close them.
The places you go to or visit, the photos that you took, the food that you eat, the movie that you watched, the painting that hangs on your wall, the design of your home are all creations called visual arts.
