Art is important yāall!!
Iāve always known, but it just hit me like a truck how important art is.
All types of art; painting, music, writing, sculpting etc etc
Someone elseās writing inspired me to make music
My music inspired my sister to pick up an instrument and learn how to play my song, and I was so touched I wanted to make more music
Music makes me happy, and a happy me can make more music and makes me take care of myself more which leads to me studying better, which leads to me getting a job in a field I can help people face to face.
But music leading to me helping people is not why art is important.
Art is important for many, maaany other reasons too, for example:
Ā Ā . it can help someone get their mind off of other things in their life
Ā Ā . it can help people remember things they have forgotten
Ā Ā . in my field of work (elderly people with dementia) art can help calm people,Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā art they recognize from their youth can make them feel safer in situationsĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā that are hard
Ā Ā . it can inspire people to create, take care of themselves, to live
I could go on and on and on
Those who say that art is not important, that being an artist of any sort is not aĀ āreal jobā, you are very much mistaken
Art is essential.
