What art means to me? Art is emotions. You can design art based off your emotions. You can express your emotions through your work of art.  Your emotions can communicate things you can't say easily. There are a lot of ways you express your feelings in art such as painting, drawings, etc. Art can be used in other classes like World History.  Today in World History we used a rt to explain what most people did back in the day. We used clay to make things such as tools, beds, fire camps, shelter and etc.
