What is Art?

What do we get from Art?

What is the importance of Art in our life?

According to Matthew Arnold…

"All art is the representation of reality into its mental aspect "

Art encourages self expression and creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of individual identity. Art provides a means to express the imagination in non grammatic ways. We need art because it makes us complete human beings. We need art to have a full range of expression. We need art to keep us healthy. We need art to understand and to share our individual and shared history. We need art to keep us connected.

The new mental form of reality which the artist imagines in his mind, he intends to present to us in the form of artwork through his own medium. In other words, the impression that this real-world artist has on the picture is what the artist intends to express through art. Art is a way to give happiness to ourselves, not just enjoyment. Whenever we are involved with any kind of Art, like Music, dancing, drawing, drama -Acting eat., we feel a different kind of energy, positivity and happiness. Art is very important. In Gujarati there is proverbs like

"કલા વગરનો માણસ પશુ સમાન છે. "

It is true that each person has a different kind of art. But it is also important to practice that art to polish the work. That way one can be a best Artist. Art is important because it is related to meditation. One has to focus and be careful while practicing any art. Singing and dancing both are related to it. During singing Pranayam is automatically done by the artist. While dancing , many exercises are done by dancers. The same also happened in Acting and drama.

In our department we organised many activities for Art and creativity. We organised this kind of activity with the aim to increase the enthusiasm and to encourage them. so that students get the chance to perform and become confident and without fear they can perform. This way they get a chance to show their talent.

Every situation gives us new opportunities to learn something new and in that we are very lucky to be the students of the Department of English, the place where each and every student gets a chance to explore their thoughts and shine themselves. This year Corona Pandemic gave us a chance to learn many things in the field of technology. Every year students get chance to participate in many events physically but this time we had lost this opportunity because of Corona Pandemic but as Dilip Barad sir always says that, “ The show must go on” students came up with new ideas to celebrate “ Virtual Literary Festival” for three days on 25th, 26th and 27th December 2020 in which students had participated in various events. The events had been divided into two parts. Live performances which had been live on Facebook and YouTube and others were exhibition entries which were open for votes. The students who got the highest score were rewarded with shields. Here we are sharing the information of all exhibitions and online events in detail.

Here is the chart of the numbers of online events and the numbers of exhibition events:
