Our Perspective of Arts

Art is part of our lives whatever we do and wherever we are.

Do you generally like to see or create beautiful things as an expression of your artistic inclinations? Do you have the creativity that resulted to the making of something beautiful? I hope you do as I do.

We like something nice, something good, something beautiful, and anything worthy of appreciation considering the pleasure we experience in dealing with such. Indeed, we have satisfaction in our encounter with something that attracts us though it depends upon the preferences of each one who has unique personality and taste - thus, we say "beauty depends upon the beholder"; beauty is relative.

But it is sure that we can be attracted because of the innate artistic ability in us, though some out of fear or shame would say they have none due to environmental factors and sad experiences.

The truth is, as we learn to live, there is the application of acquired and inherited ability in each of us which may refer to the so-called ART. The daily challenges of life make us do something applicable or practical in every situation that enhance our ability to cope up, learn, and survive. It implies the essence of art.

Art is always part of our life. Is there art when we write, communicate, or in whatever we do? If you say yes, we are all artists. There is art because we human beings live. What makes us different then as artists wherein some are very good and some are not?

It could be the upbringing in the family, the life's training we continually experience, or our perception of living especially in our world of struggles.

Nobody can deny that whenever we see beautiful objects produced through creative activities, our appreciation becomes the sign of the pleasure we feel - though it depends on our own preferences as mentioned earlier.

Generally, this is OUR PERSPECTIVE OF ARTS and we can say, WE ARE ALL ARTISTS - creators of arts; persons good at something; people with skills; or human beings living artistically.
