The Whole Ball of Wax

In my opinion, I believe that art can change some factors that ultimately end up changing the world. For example, art can inspire people to be a better person or change their attitude about something, which in the long term changes the world for the better. However, I don’t believe that art has the power to directly change the world, like changing global warming or halting the spread of AIDS like the article said.

Despite this point of view, I do believe that art is like an experience in which helps us understand its meaning. When artist create a piece of work, there is some type of purpose behind it and it is up to the viewers of art to look deeply into the work and figure out what it is. As we look deeply into the work and recognize the color, pigment, canvas and other aspects related to art, we are then able to really experience it through our minds and come to a conclusion on its meaning.

Additionally, I do believe that art can create new thought structures. Especially for people like me who believe that they have no creativity, seeing and interpreting art gets your mind processing and thinking about all new things that I probably would have never thought of before. Art is more than just pleasing to the eye, but it is also a way to think outside the box and see the bigger picture. Whether art is a painting, a sculpture or a photograph, the detail and story behind them allows views to open up their minds and have endless thoughts. It is by having these thoughts that factors of the world, such as attitudes and values, are able to change which ultimately end up changing the world.
