makes us “truly” unique as humans.
So, what is the general purpose of art? Well, the answer is, art helps us
to look at ourselves little “closer” in a different light by
explaining our
desire and expectation in more details which otherwise wouldn’t be
possible. With the help of art, we are able to communicate our social,
political, cultural and spiritual ideas in a much
more organized manner
so that we feel “challenged” to rethink over the issues and the subjects
that are affecting us and our surroundings on a daily basis.
We enjoy art because it stimulates our hearts and
minds to appreciate
our lives in a more positive light. We enjoy art also because it makes us
feel “different” by combining our “unusual motifs” that weave their way
into our “subconscious” (or the “hidden” us) and alter our mood so that
we feel free to travel into a different realm.
Q. 2. Do you think that art is as important as academic subjects
when it comes to educating children?
Answer:
Pablo Picasso once said that “every child is an artist. The
problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up”. Therefore,
offering children the much-needed space to create, to explore and to
express themselves through art is absolutely important so that a holistic
approach to education can be ensured. However, the purpose of
art as
academic subjects is not, and should not be, taught just to
produce
some “world-class artists”, but to provide a means of exploring feelings
and experiences and expressing them beautifully which “words”, that we
use on a regular basis, can’t do alone. This is something that every
child
can experience and benefit from. In other words, the children should be
able to find the true value of “art” in the process itself as well, not only
in the “end product”.
