An artistic image is a generalized idea of reality, an attitude to life, to the world around, expressed in the language of art. Revealing his inner world, the artist is always attuned to the wave of his time with all its anxieties and joys, anticipating certain changes. Therefore, it becomes possible to create an artistic image of the era.

The language of any art helps to hear in the work the living voice of the artist, the centuries-old wisdom of the people. The expressiveness and emotionality of the language in painting, graphics, music, sculpture, poetry, dance are provided by such concepts as: composition, form, texture, rhythm, tone, intensity.

Various types of art are mutually enriched, often borrowing from each other means of expressing content. It is no coincidence that there is an opinion that architecture is frozen music, that this or that line in the picture is musical, that an epic novel is like a symphony. And when they talk about any kind of artistic activity, including performing skills (creativity), they often use such concepts as composition, rhythm, , plastic, , dynamics, musicality - common in the literal or figurative sense for different arts. But in any work of art there is always a poetic element, what constitutes its main essence, its pathos and gives it an extraordinary power of influence. Without a sublime poetic feeling, without spirituality, any work is dead.

What culture - Western, Eastern, Russian - do works of various types of art belong to? Explain why.
For centuries, man has always had a desire for everything beautiful. And the desire for art appeared in the days of hoeing, hunting for mammoths and dressing the skins of caught animals. The first painters decorated the walls of their houses with various drawings of everyday life. They depicted a successful hunt, animals living in the forests, their settlement and prints of their palms. Later, when they got acquainted with clay and began to sculpt pots, they began to put images on them too.
Humanity has evolved, so has art. Rock paintings were replaced by frescoes and mosaics. The Greeks were especially skilled in this area. They were invited by many kings to decorate the walls of their palaces with their works. Replaced frescoes and mosaics came. At that time, the icon served not only as an object of prayer, but also as a home decoration. Since the 4th century, the icon has become an obligatory attribute of every home. The wealthier class allowed themselves to decorate them with gold and silver, precious stones and enamel. The family's well-being was judged by the number of icons and their framing.
Along with the image of the faces of saints, lint-free carpets or, as they were called, tapestries, and later - tapestries served as decoration for the walls. They were made by interweaving colored threads covering a woolen or linen base. The tapestries themselves were a hand-woven carpet with a plot and ornamental composition.
Tapestries, tapestries and paintings have become an indispensable attribute of the decoration of palaces and country residences.
Fashion has changed, but in our time they remain an integral part of interior decoration. A properly selected picture can not only decorate the room, but also make it cozy and unique, with a zest inherent only to you. When decorating the interior, it is worth considering many nuances, the main ones of which are: with a small amount of furniture and accessories, an oppressive emptiness and a feeling of incompleteness will be felt, and oversaturation will lead to a feeling of fatigue and overload. Therefore, before buying a painting, you need to think in advance about its location and how it will look next to other interior items.
Buy paintings with a good plot and positive themes for the interior of an apartment or house. Do not forget that any picture is not a wardrobe or a carpet, it is the result of the creativity and imagination of the person who created it. Therefore, it carries a powerful energy and emotional charge. It is worth paying attention to the color scheme present in the canvas. It has been scientifically proven that color has a great influence on our psyche. It can excite or soothe, depress or cheer up, and maybe even heal. Therefore, the purchase of a painting should be taken seriously.
Art is part of the spiritual culture of mankind, a specific kind of spiritual and practical development of the world. Art includes varieties of human activity, united by artistic and figurative forms of reproducing reality, painting, architecture, sculpture, music, fiction, theater, dance, cinema. In a broader sense, the word "art" refers to any form of human activity, if it is done skillfully, skillfully, skillfully.
All the diversity of the world around us and the attitude of a person to it, thoughts and feelings, ideas and ideas, beliefs of people - all this is transmitted by a person in artistic images. Art helps a person to choose ideals and values. And so it was at all times. Art is a kind of textbook of life.
“Art is an eternal joyful and good symbol of a person's desire for goodness, for joy and perfection,” wrote the famous German writer T. Mann. Each type of art speaks in its own language about the eternal problems of life, about good and evil, about love and hate, about joy and sorrow, about the beauty of the world and the human soul, about the height of thoughts and aspirations, about the comic and tragic life.

When talking about any kind of artistic activity, including performing arts (creativity), they often use such concepts as composition, rhythm, color, plasticity, line, dynamics, musicality, which are common in a direct or figurative sense for different arts. But in any work of art there is always a poetic element, what constitutes its main essence, its pathos and gives it an extraordinary power of influence. Without a sublime poetic feeling, without spirituality, any work is dead.

1. Introduction.
I chose to work on the topic “The Role of Art in Human Life” because I wanted to deepen and generalize knowledge about art. It was interesting for me to expand my horizons and find out what functions art performs, what is the role of art in a person’s life, in order to further discuss this from the point of view of a knowledgeable person.
I consider the chosen topic of the work to be relevant, since certain aspects of the topic have not been fully studied and the study is aimed at overcoming this gap. It encourages me to show intellectual abilities, moral and communicative qualities;
Before starting work, I conducted a survey among the students of our school. By asking them a few questions in order to reveal their relationship to art. We got the following results.

Target works: to prove the importance of various types of art in human life; show how art influences the formation of the spiritual culture of a person's personality; arouse people's interest in the world of art.
Tasks- reveal the essence of art, consider the relationship between man and art in society, consider the main functions of art in society, their significance and role for a person.
Problematic issues: How does art express human feelings and the world around?
Why is it said that “life is short, but art is eternal”?
What is art? When, how and why did art appear?
What role does art play in a person's life and in my life?
Expected Result

2. Main body
2.1. The concept of art
“Art gives wings and takes you far, far away!” -
said the writer
How nice it would be if someone created a device that would show the degree of influence of art on a person, society as a whole, and even on nature. How do painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, the quality of his life? Can this impact be measured and predicted? Of course, culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is capable of beneficially influencing both the individual and society as a whole when choosing the right direction and priorities in life.
Art is a creative understanding of the surrounding world by a talented person. The fruits of this reflection belong not only to its creators, but to all mankind living on planet Earth.
Immortal are the beautiful creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Raphael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarch, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. It captures the spirit when you try to embrace with your mind everything created by geniuses, preserved and continued by their descendants and followers.
In a primitive society is born with a view as a way of human activity to solve practical problems. Originating in the era , reached its peak about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodying a new stage in the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as the shell necklace found in South Africa, date back to 75,000 BC. e. and more. In the Stone Age, art was represented by primitive rituals, music, dances, all kinds of body decorations, geoglyphs - images on the ground, dendrographs - images on the bark of trees, images on animal skins, cave paintings, rock paintings, and sculpture.
The appearance of art is associated with, and, including conditioned - representations.
Now the word "art" is often used in its original, very broad meaning. This is any skill in the implementation of any tasks that require some kind of perfection of their results. In a narrower sense of the word, this is creativity "according to the laws of beauty." Works of artistic creativity, as well as works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". A work of art, like all other types of social consciousness, is always a unity of the object cognized in it and the subject who cognizes this object.
In a primitive, pre-class society, art as a special kind of social consciousness did not yet exist independently. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about a past life, with primitive geographical ideas, with moral requirements.
And then art stood out among them in its special specific variety. It has become one of the forms of development of the social consciousness of various peoples. That is how it should be considered.
Thus, art is a kind of consciousness of society, it is an artistic content, not a scientific one. L. Tolstoy, for example, defined art as a means of exchanging feelings, contrasting it with science as a means of exchanging thoughts.
Art is often compared to a reflective mirror that reflects reality through the thoughts and feelings of the creator. Through him, this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the attention of the artist, excited him.
Here one can rightly see one of the most important specific features of art as a form of human activity.
Any product of labor - be it a tool, a tool, a machine or a means of maintaining life - is created for some special need. Even such products of spiritual production as scientific research may well remain accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, without losing anything in their social significance.
But a work of art can be recognized as such only under the condition of universality, "general interest" of its content. The artist is called upon to express something that is equally important for both the driver and the scientist, which is applicable to their life activity not only to the extent of the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the extent of involvement in public life, the ability to be a person, to be a person.
2.2. Kinds of art
Depending on the material means by which works of art are constructed, three groups of art forms objectively arise: 1) spatial, or plastic (painting, sculpture, graphics, art photography, architecture, arts and crafts, and design), i.e. those who deploy their images in space; 2) temporary (verbal and musical), i.e., those where images are built in time, and not in real space; 3) spatio-temporal (dance; acting and all based on it; synthetic - theater, cinema, television art, variety and circus, etc.), i.e. those whose images have both length and duration, corporality and dynamism. Each type of art is directly characterized by the way of the material existence of its works and the type of figurative signs used. Within these limits, all its types have varieties, determined by the characteristics of this or that material and the resulting originality of the artistic language.
So, varieties of verbal art are oral creativity and written literature; varieties of music - vocal and various types of instrumental music; varieties of performing arts - drama, music, puppet, shadow theater, as well as stage and circus; varieties of dance - everyday dance, classical, acrobatic, gymnastic, ice dance, etc.
On the other hand, each art form has a generic and genre division. The criteria for these divisions are defined in different ways, but the very existence of such types of literature as epic, lyric, drama, such types of fine arts as easel, monumental-decorative, miniature, such genres of painting as portrait, landscape, still life is obvious ...
Thus, art, taken as a whole, is a historically established system of various specific ways of artistic development of the world,
each of which has features common to all and individually peculiar.
2.3. Functions of art
Art has similarities and differences with other forms of social consciousness. Just like science, it objectively reflects reality, cognizes its important and essential aspects. But unlike science, which explores the world with the help of abstract-theoretical thinking, art cognizes the world through imaginative thinking. Reality appears in art as a whole, in the richness of its sensual manifestations.
Unlike science, artistic consciousness does not set itself the goal of giving any special information about particular branches of social practice and identifying their patterns, such as physical, economic, etc. The subject of art is everything that is interesting for a person in life.
Those goals that the author or creator intentionally and consciously sets for himself when working on a work have a direction. It can be a political goal, a commentary on a social position, the creation of a certain mood or emotion, a psychological impact, an illustration of something, a promotion of a product (in the case of advertising), or simply conveying a message.
Means of communication. In its simplest form, art is a means of communication. Like most other forms of communication, it carries the intention of conveying information to the audience. For example, scientific illustration is also an art form that exists to convey information. Another example of this kind is geographic maps. However, the content of the message is not necessarily scientific. Art allows you to convey not only objective information, but also emotions, mood, feelings.
Art as entertainment. The purpose of art may be to create a mood or emotion that helps to relax or have fun. Very often, cartoons or video games are created for this very purpose.
, art for political change. One of the defining goals of art in the early 20th century was the creation of works that provoked political change. The directions that have appeared for this purpose, -,, Russian, - are collectively referred to as.
Art for psychotherapy. Psychologists and psychotherapists can use art for healing purposes. A special technique based on the analysis of the patient's drawings is used to diagnose the state of the individual and the emotional status. In this case, the ultimate goal is not diagnosis, but the improvement of the psyche.
Art for social protest, overthrow of the existing order and/or anarchy. As a form of protest, art may not have any specific political purpose, but be limited to criticizing the existing regime or some aspect of it.
2.4. The role of art in human life
All kinds of arts serve the greatest of the arts - the art of living on earth.
Bertolt Brecht
Now it is impossible to imagine that ours would not be accompanied by art,. Wherever and whenever he lived, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means he sought to understand and figuratively, intelligibly pass on the knowledge gained to the next generations. This is how wall paintings appeared in caves - ancient camps of man. And this was born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes already passed by their ancestors, but by the transfer of the beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.
Mankind did not stagnate, it progressively moved forward and higher, and the art that accompanies man at all stages of this long and painful path also developed. If you turn to the Renaissance, you admire the heights that artists and poets, musicians and architects have reached. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of man in the world, where he is destined to go through his short, but beautiful, sometimes tragic path.
Art is one of the most important steps in human evolution. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each epoch, with each century, it is more and more improved by man. At all times, art has helped a person develop his abilities, improve abstract thinking. For centuries, man has tried to change art more and more, to improve it, to deepen his knowledge. Art is the great mystery of the world, in which the secrets of the history of our life are hidden. Art is our history. Sometimes in it you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today, a person can no longer imagine life without a read novel, without a new movie, without a premiere in the theater, without a fashionable hit and favorite musical group, without art exhibitions ... In art, a person finds new knowledge, and answers to vital questions, and peace of mind from the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoyment. A real work of art is always in tune with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel can tell about a distant historical era, about people, it seems, of a completely different way and style of life, but the feelings that people have been imbued with at all times are understandable to the current reader, consonant with him if the novel is written by a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet live in Verona in ancient times. It is not the time or place of action that determines my perception of the great love and true friendship described by the brilliant Shakespeare.
Russia has not become a distant province of art. Even at the dawn of its appearance, it declared loudly and boldly about its right to stand next to the greatest creators of Europe: "The Tale of Igor's Campaign", icons and paintings by Andrei Rublev and Theophan the Greek, cathedrals of Vladimir, Kiev and Moscow. We are not only proud of the amazing proportions of the Church of the Intercession on Nerl and Moscow's Intercession Cathedral, better known as St. Basil's Cathedral, but we also sacredly honor the names of the creators.
Not only ancient creations attract our attention. We are constantly confronted with works of art in everyday life. Visiting museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that wonderful world, which is available at first only to geniuses, and then to the rest, we learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has already become a part of our ordinary life.
Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Eliminate all this from the life of a civilized person, and he will turn, if not into an animal, then into a robot or a zombie. The wealth of art is inexhaustible. It is impossible to visit all the museums of the world, not to listen to all the symphonies, sonatas, operas, not to review all the masterpieces of architecture, not to re-read all the novels, poems, poems. Yes, and nothing. Know-it-alls actually turn out to be superficial people. From all the variety, a person chooses for the soul what is closest to him, which gives ground to his mind and feelings.
The possibilities of art are multifaceted. Art forms intellectual and moral qualities, stimulates creative abilities, promotes successful socialization. In ancient Greece, fine arts were considered as an effective means of influencing a person. Sculptures were exhibited in the galleries, personifying noble human qualities (“Mercy”, “Justice”, etc.). It was believed that, contemplating the beautiful statues, a person absorbs all the best that they reflect. The same applies to the paintings of the great masters.
A group of researchers led by Professor Marina de Tommaso from the University of Bari, Italy, found that beautiful pictures can reduce pain, the Daily Telegraph writes today. Scientists hope that the new results will convince hospitals and hospitals to care more about decorating the rooms in which the sick are.
During the study, a group of people, consisting of both their men and their women, were asked to look at 300 paintings by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, and to select from them 20 paintings that they found the most beautiful and the ugliest. At the next stage, the subjects were shown these pictures or nothing, leaving a large black wall for pictures free, and at the same time they hit the participants with a short laser pulse comparable in strength to touching a hot frying pan. It was found that when people watch pictures they like, the pain feels three times less intense than when they are forced to look at ugly pictures or a black wall.
Not only children, but often adults are not able to cope with their emotions. We live by the rules, we force ourselves to constant "We need, we need, we need ...", forgetting about our desires. Because of this, internal discontent arises, which a person, being a social being, tries to keep in himself. As a result, the body suffers, because a negative emotional state often leads to various diseases. Creativity in this case helps to relieve emotional stress, harmonize the inner world and achieve mutual understanding with others. Of course, it can be not only drawing, but also appliqués, embroidery, photographing, modeling from matches, prose, poetry and much more, one way or another related to art.
The question of how literature affects a person, his behavior and psyche, what mechanisms lead to peculiar experiences and, as a result, to a change in a person’s personal characteristics when reading a literary work, has occupied the minds of many scientists and researchers from ancient times to the present. Fiction, giving knowledge of reality, expands the mental horizons of readers of all ages, gives an emotional experience that goes beyond what a person could acquire in his life, forms an artistic taste, delivers aesthetic pleasure, which occupies a large place in the life of a modern person and is one of his needs. But most importantly, the main function of fiction is the formation of deep and stable feelings in people that encourage them to think through, determine their worldview, and guide their behavior. personality.
Literature is for people a school of feelings and knowledge of reality and forms an idea about the ideal actions of people, about the beauty of the world and relationships. The word is a great mystery. Its magical power lies in the ability to evoke vivid images, transport the reader to another world. Without literature, we would never have known that once upon a time there lived a wonderful person and writer Victor Hugo or, for example, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. We would not know anything about the time when they lived. Thanks to literature, we become more educated, learn the history of our ancestors.
The influence of music on a person is great. Man hears sound not only with his ears; he hears the sound with every pore of his body. The sound permeates his whole being, and according to certain influences slows down or speeds up the rhythm of the circulation of the blood; either excites the nervous system or calms it down; awakens stronger passions in a person or pacifies him, bringing him peace. A certain effect is produced according to the sound. Therefore, the knowledge of sound can give a person a magical tool to manage, adjust, control and use life, as well as help other people with the greatest benefit. It is no secret that art can heal.
Isotherapy, dance therapy, music therapy - these are common truths.
The creator of musical pharmacology, scientist Robert Schofleur, prescribes for therapeutic purposes to listen to all the symphonies of Tchaikovsky, Schubert's The Forest Tsar, Beethoven's ode to Joy. He claims that these works contribute to an accelerated recovery. And researchers at the University of California experimentally proved that after 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's music, tests showed an increase in the IQ of students by 8-9 units.
But not all art heals.
For example: Rock music - causes the release of stress hormones, which erase part of the information in the brain, cause aggression or depression. Russian psychologist D. Azarov notes that there is a special combination of notes, he called them killer music. After listening to such musical phrases several times, a person has a gloomy mood and thoughts.
Bell ringing quickly kills:
typhoid bacteria
viruses.
Classical music (Mozart, etc.) contributes to:
general calm
increased milk secretion (by 20%) in nursing mothers.
The rhythmic sounds of some performers, due to a direct effect on the brain, contribute to:
release of stress hormones
memory impairment
weakening (after 1-2 years) of the general condition (especially when listening to music in headphones).
Mantra, or meditative sounds "om", "aum", etc., have a vibrating character.
Vibrations initially contribute to the activation of certain organs, brain structures. At the same time, many different hormones are released into the blood. (Probably, this helps to perform monotonous work with less energy consumption).
Vibrating sounds evoke
contributes to a sharp rise in blood pressure,
often leading to heart spasms.
pleasure - in some people, in others - the same sounds cause
stress reaction with the release of hormones and a sharp increase in oxidative metabolism.
In the literary sources of antiquity, we find many examples of the purposeful influence of music on the mental state of people. Plutarch says that Alexander the Great's fits of furious anger were usually pacified by playing the lyre. The mighty Achilles, according to Homer, tried, by playing the lyre, to cool his "famous" anger, from which the action in the Iliad begins.
There was an opinion that music saves from inevitable death when bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions. As an antidote in these cases, music was widely recommended by one of the most famous doctors of ancient Rome, Galen. Nirkus, a companion of Alexander the Great in his campaigns, having visited India, said that in this country, abounding with poisonous snakes, singing is considered the only remedy for their bites. How to explain the miraculous effect of music? Studies of our time have shown that music in such cases does not act as an antidote, but as a means of eliminating psychic trauma, it helps the victim to suppress the feeling of horror. This is just one of the examples when a person's health and even life largely depend on his state of mind. But even this separate example allows us to judge how great the role of the nervous system in the body is. It must be taken into account when explaining the mechanism of the impact of art on people's health.
Even more striking is the effect of music on emotions. The influence of music on emotions has been known since ancient times. Music was used for medicinal purposes and in war. Music acts both as a means to distract from thoughts that disturb a person, and as a means of calming and even healing. Music is of great importance as a means of combating overwork. Music can set a certain rhythm before starting work, set you up for a deep rest during a break.
Art makes the world of people more beautiful, alive and bright. For example, painting: how many old paintings have survived to our time, by which you can determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings painted by our contemporaries, and whatever it is: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, painting is a wonderful art, with the help of which a person has learned to see the world bright and colorful.
Architecture is another of the most important art forms. A huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered all over the world, and they are not just called "monuments" - they contain the greatest secrets of history and the memory of them. Sometimes these mysteries cannot be unraveled by scientists around the world.
Of course, in order to perceive the beauty of opera art, for example, it is necessary to know its features, understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers convey all the shades of life and feelings and influence the thoughts and emotions of the listeners. The perception of poetry and fine arts also requires some preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not developed a technique for expressive reading, if he spends all his energy on composing words from spoken sounds and does not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.
The effect of the means of art on a person can be caused by long-term or perspective. This emphasizes the great possibilities for using art in order to obtain a lasting and long-lasting effect, using it for educational purposes, as well as for general health improvement and prevention. Art does not act on any one human ability and strength, whether it be emotion or intellect, but on the person as a whole. It forms, sometimes unconsciously, the very system of human attitudes.
The artistic genius of D. Moor's famous poster "Have you signed up as a volunteer?", which was so widely promoted during the Second World War, lies in the fact that it appeals to the human conscience through all the spiritual abilities of a person. Those. the power of art lies in this, to appeal to the human conscience, to awaken its spiritual abilities. And on this occasion, we can quote the famous words of Pushkin:
Burn people's hearts with the verb.
I think this is the true purpose of art.
2.5. Life is short, art is eternal.
Art is eternal and beautiful, because it brings beauty and goodness to the world.
Man has very strict requirements and art must reflect these requirements. The artists of classicism were equal to classical models. It was believed that the eternal is unchanging - therefore, one must learn from the Greek and Roman authors. Heroes very often become knights, kings, dukes. They were convinced that truth creates beauty in art - therefore, the writer must imitate nature and depict life believably. Rigid canons of the theory of classicism appear. The art historian Boileau writes: “The incredible is not capable of touching, let the truth always look believable.” The writers of classicism approached life from the position of reason, they did not trust feelings, they considered it changeable and deceitful. Accurate, reasonable, truthful and beautiful. “You need to think about the idea and only then write.”
Art never gets old. In the book of academician philosopher I.T. Frolov wrote: “The reason for this is the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character, ultimately due to the constant appeal to a person. The unique unity of man and the world in a work of art, "human reality". The famous Danish physicist Niels Bohr wrote: "The reason why art can enrich us is its ability to remind us of harmonies that are beyond the reach of systematic analysis." Art often highlights universal, “eternal” problems: what is good and evil, freedom, human dignity. The changing conditions of each era force us to re-solve these issues.
Art is many-sided, eternal, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental effort, a certain work of thought. A person should want to learn to see and understand the beautiful, then art will have a beneficial effect on him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works can influence millions, and this can be beneficial or harmful.
I will give a simple example. For example, an artist painted a picture. The picture depicts negative scenes of murder, blood and dirt are everywhere, the most chaotic, harsh tones are used, in short, the whole picture acts depressingly on the viewer, causing negative emotions in a person. The energy coming from the picture is extremely depressing. So much for the complete interconnection of the artist's thinking with the physical creation of the picture and, accordingly, the viewer or viewers looking at it ... Imagine thousands, tens of thousands of such depressing paintings. The same can be said about our cinema. What cartoons do our children watch, not to mention films for adults? And in general, now there is not even such a ban "Up to 16", as in the 70s. Solid "negativism"... Imagine how much negative energy in the country, in the world, on the whole Earth!.. The same can be said about all types of our art!
“Thoughts combined with actions lead to change. If they are noble, then they liberate, save, promote prosperity. enrich. If they are base, then they enslave, impoverish, weaken, destroy. If the propaganda of violence, the cult of power, evil steps onto our screens, we will perish after the unlucky heroes of these one-day militants.
True art must be beautiful, have a good, humane beginning with centuries-old traditions.
3. Conclusion.
Art plays an important role in our lives, helping future generations to grow morally. Each generation contributes to the development of mankind, enriching it culturally. Without art, we would hardly be able to look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, to look beyond the ordinary, to feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small veins, blood vessels, organs.
Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, fears - everything that every person lives by - acquire a special color and strength.
It is impossible for everyone to be creators, but it is in our power to try to penetrate into the essence of the creation of a genius, to come closer to understanding the beautiful. And the more often we become contemplators of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners of beautiful music, the better for us and those around us.
Art helps us master the sciences and gradually deepen our knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:
Forms a person's ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beautiful in the surrounding reality and art,
Forms the skills of using the means of art to understand the life of people, nature itself;
Develops a deep understanding of the beauty of nature, the world around. the ability to preserve this beauty;
Arms people with knowledge, and also instills skills and abilities in the field of accessible arts - music, painting, theater, artistic expression, architecture;
Develops creative abilities, skills and abilities to feel and create beauty in the surrounding life, at home, in everyday life;
Develops an understanding of beauty in human relationships, the desire and ability to bring beauty into everyday life.
So, art affects our life from all sides, makes it diverse and vibrant, lively and interesting, rich, helping a person understand his destiny in this world better and better. Our earthly world is woven from perfection and imperfection. And it depends only on the person himself how he will make his future, what he will read, what he will listen, how he will speak.
“The best means for educating feelings in general, for awakening the feelings of beauty, for developing creative imagination, is art itself,” pointed out the psychologist N.E. Rumyantsev.
