Art Can Change the World

Art is displayed in many shapes, forms, colors, and textures in ways to express the artist’s true feelings. Art is what colors the world as it differentiates from culture to culture, but there is so much more art can do.

   If someone is having a stressful day, one of the most effective things that can help is art.

   Whether it’s seeing other people’s art or creating one’s own, it’s been proven to be a great stress reliever. By creating one’s own, one can get rid of stress by releasing whatever feelings one feels by expressing them in their art. A variety of art classes are offered at the school, such as  photography, painting, electronic arts, etc.. They’re  a helpful way to relieve stress from the rest of the day at school or anything else one has occurring in their life.

   Another benefit from art is the fact that no matter what style it is, it brings color to the world.

   Art gives the school hallways originality instead of a plain tan color, and it is used in many classrooms to explain something. For example, some English classrooms have paintings from popular story scenes like Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird.

   If someone wants to go into the visual arts, it’s possible to get a scholarship for the arts like any other subject. They carry through a wide range of mediums from pencil to camera, illustration to photography. It’s very likely that one will be able to pursue the art career one has always wanted. If someone looks up ‘art scholarships’ on google, a lot of scholarship opportunities show up. For some, one could get a scholarship by winning an art contest. For example, artinstitute.edu is providing quite a few right now. There are competitions for poster design, fashion, and the culinary arts. By participating in one of these competitions, someone could get a scholarship to over 50 art schools across the United States. The Academy of Art University also has a scholarship program that allows students proficient in english experience what it is like to be in a top art university.

   It’s easy to see that art can do so many things today. It can express feelings, relieve stress, color the world,establish different cultures, and could even grant one a scholarship. Therefore, art has more benefits than one would normally think, and it should not be taken for granted.
