In the previous modules, you have learned about what Contemporary Art is, its
forms, its different practices from the regions and its significance. Various artists with
great contributions to arts were also introduced including the roles they play in the field
of art and even on the richness of our culture.

Art forms may vary from different regions it is because of the experiences,
resources, materials, cultures and beliefs people in a certain region are practicing.
Nonetheless, art forms represent the society and their traditions.

Do you know any artwork or form of art that your place is known for? Tell
something about it by writing a description of not less than five sentences. Work on
this short activity in your answer sheet.
Art, in its many forms, should be both preserved and explored. Art can be a
response to a certain need or it could also be a form of escape. With the presence of
many agencies and commissions promoting art preservation, it is but safe to say that
art lives forever. Art does exist in every person, family, community, every culture, and
every country. Art has begun the moment life has started. It blended well from the
time man strived for survival until in these times where, even separately taken, art
becomes a subject and likewise an expression.

Reasons Why We Should be Promoting Art

1. Art is naturally a human behavior.

It’s not right for someone to say that she/he is not artistic or not born with any
talent. Art is in all of us. Creating art comes out naturally from within. Every culture
has art. Like language and laughter, art is a fundamental human behavior. Art
represents a part of our being. Humans need art because it’s as vital as the air we
breathe.
2. Art is a form of communication.

Art can be considered a medium to share information and more so to express

oneself. Art has given us humans the tons of options to express and communicate
what we feel. Art helps us share our thoughts about the world, brings out ideas in us
and gives us the visions that may not be able to be done in any other way.

3. Art can be a source of healing.

Art, whether being created or experienced, can sooth us, calm us and make us
think better. Art is an engaging activity. Even if you are alone, art can make you
connect to your inner core. It also allows us to be reflective, to recall what we have
seen and experienced. Art provides a release, a place for reflection or even a quick
getaway from the noise of the present time. Art can keep us both healthy and sane.
4. Art is timeless.

Art can also be a tangible record or evidence of what transpired in the past. It
talks about preservation of culture, a life of a significant individual, one’s prowess in a
particular field and even those which cannot be perceived by our naked eyes, but
much felt by our being. Art makes us understand history. PIt reflects the values,
beliefs and identity we have in every region. It introduces different communities that
make up our world. It can express our life on a sculpture, in a song, in a dance or on
a canvas.
5. Art is a shared experience.
Art is a collective activity. It offers us a reason to come together and share in an
experience. We need art to keep us connected. Other people’s 0works become the
inspiration of others.
