It is human to admire beauty around us. We often feel amazed when we see a beautiful painting, read an exciting poem or listen to a charming melody. Art is everywhere in lots of forms and it is of great importance in our life. It is quite difficult to describe art in words, but in general it is understood as a form to express your feelings through any medium like music, colours, photographs and so on. An image can be realistic, abstract, naturalistic, idealistic or conceptual.

Art has a lot of forms. Visual arts can be seen in museums and picture galleries: photography, painting, sculptures, etc. In performing arts people use their voices and bodies to convey a message. This form of art includes things like music, dance, movies, theatre, circus. Art has a great impact on our mood. Music, movies or theatre can make us feel relaxed or joyful. They can be inspirational as well. They move us through time and plunge into the atmosphere of freedom. Art helps us to understand people who lived many years ago and learn the history of the humankind. Art explains the meaning of beauty and harmony.

We can define art as communication between an artist and the audience. When an author writes a story, he invites us to visit new places, meet new characters or learn new ideas. Books help us to form our moral values and our attitude to the life. Art develops our good qualities. It has a great educational significance.

We are surrounded by art. When we enter somebody’s house, we can’t help admiring the way the rooms are decorated. And you don’t have to be a painter for that. Everyone expresses himself using his creativity and the power of imagination to decorate the surrounding. Art reflects and enriches our inner world.
