What does the arts mean to you? (please answer it will take less than 5 min)?

answers1: Answer to question #1. <br>
Explain what the arts (music? Theatre? Mosaic?) mean to you. <br>
The Arts is an activity, a creation, a method of expression. This is
how we communicate our artistic or imaginative side. This is not just
the visual arts like Mosaics or Paintings, this includes performing
arts like music (the art of dancing), theater (live performers).
<br>
<br>
How important are the arts to you and your life? <br>
I am a self taught Mosaic Artist and I have a huge passion for this
art medium. <br>
It is very important in my life, as I love the challenge of using old
recycled objects and creating beautiful treasures of Mosaic Art. This
particular type is called "pique assiette mosaic". It is a style of
mosaic that incorporates pieces of broken ceramics, including plates,
dishes, cups, tiles and any other found objects. <br>
<br>
Do you feel the arts (music, acting, Mosaic) have changed your life.
If so, explain how. <br>
Most definitely it has changed my life. I guess I like the part of
recycling what others consider trash. I can take broken pieces and
turn them into masterpieces. It has opened my mind as I look at
everything differently now and think how I can use that in one of my
mosaic creations to be able to interpret whatever it is that I need to
express. <br>
<br>
Sometimes I find it hard to communicate or express what I am feeling
in words. It gets frustrating at times, and being able to communicate
through artistic creation is so satisfying all the way around. <br>
<br>
Many, many years ago before there was written communication there was
visual communication. The church used sculptures, mosaics and stained
glass art to convey biblical meaning. <br>
<br>
I hope that this helps you with your assignment. What a shame it is
for the public schools to no longer fund the arts.
