With the development of technology and science, some people believe that
there is no great value of artists such as musicians and painters. What are
the things artists can do but the scientist cannot? Why should we
encourage the art area?
You should write at least 250 words.
In this contemporary world, people seemed to disregard arts and
artists’ values. Some said that artists would be completely wiped out by
evolution of the technology and science. From my perspective,
contributions through arts are uncountable and all of them have their
values in some aspects of the world.
To begin with, only artists can perform to significantly improve our
mental life. They are the only ones who can compose songs or paint at
master levels, which have deep meaning that others can barely mimic.
With the arts they bring, from the specialists who can understand and
feel it to people that just enjoy them with their poor knowledge, they
can all enrich and bring colors to our life. Secondly, they can effectively
raise awareness of people for social problems through their products
and medias which science has a slightly lower influences on people.
Science studies may logically explain everything, but they are too naive
and intricate, while music and painting can easily attract attention from
their catchy sounds and pictures, resulting into higher effects on
residents.
Moreover, preserving arts is a necessity and the disappearance of arts
in human life will cause a critical damage on mental. Being creatively
active is a principal result of arts, especially for the young children,
which is certainly need for them in life. To consider the arts loss, most
of the people will also lose motivation in working and studying since
music and art help them relax.
By the way of conclusion, arts can do what science cannot do, therefore
preserving arts is a must and we have to combine them together
improve our lives.
