The Value Of Arts Effect On Society

By Casandra Newton


Arts effect on society has a lot of personal, cultural, and worldly value. Looking back over the stories of time you can see through the eyes of those who were there. The pictures, shapes, chaos and calm are all reflections of history told through the eyes of those who endured it. Then, of course, new stories begin a new chapter in time.

You can choose to look back at history or you can choose to look forward. At the heart of artistic expression is communication. The images that you are drawn to reach past words and into emotion. A single piece can continue to create messages to those who view it for decades, and even for centuries.

There are some magnificent stories that are told in this manner. There are stories of survival, hope, shame, hunger, guilt, pleasure, joy, beauty, and a full spectrum of emotions that are not yet named. From disasters to successes these are the human lives and images that have become a reflection of what was, what is, and what will be. This is how the audience develops a relationship with either the piece or the creator of the piece.

Since there are all kinds of various representations, there are also many ways to interpret them. Struggles of humanity are timeless and can be accurately represented through the eyes of the artistic. What brings you for a closer look is the reflection you are seeing of yourself. You can witness the timelessness of these struggles and their resolution regardless of the date of creation.

Culturally speaking images are so inclusive to daily life that there is a chronic artistic evolution happening. Imagery is used from cell phone icons to avatars. The use of continual images is popular in social media. Even great works of yesterday have come to life once again by restyling them for today. Artistic expression has become digital, and you are hard pressed to find someone without the need for great work.

You may think that there is some value in artistic expression. It can be nice to find something new to hang on the wall. Perhaps you just like the way pictures look and so you buy them.

There are those who believe that one day the world be a post apocalyptic wasteland and those who were fortunate enough to save the art will be required to trek to a specified destination so that all pieces can live on in a collection. This sort of dedication comes from studying the viewpoints that are presented in the piece and connecting with the message as well as the artist. Some people even believe that once that connection is made the work becomes more powerful.

Arts effect on society is profound, deep, and everlasting. The chaos that blends with the beauty is a story that many want to have for themselves. In a world filled with images and expression there is still always room for more. That is part of what makes it so valuable.
