What is art? Art is the creation of something beautiful. It could be a painting, a sculpture, a song, a building, or even a speech, but no matter what it is, it should have an aesthetic value that others can appreciate. As such, it should be pleasing, compelling, and inspiring.

We cannot exist without beauty in our lives. Therefore, we must learn to be receptive to things that are beautiful in order to experience its beauty. In this world, there are people who choose to be vulgar and superficial because they lack an appreciation of beauty. There are also people who live glamorous lives, because they are attached to superficial appearances. However, if we prefer appearance over substance, we will never know true beauty. We may look at a painting or read a poem but never realize its artistic value.

What we value in art is its beauty. A flower is especially beautiful when it sways gracefully in the wind. A painting may offer vibrant colours or a serene scene. However, it should also have distinct lines and a sense of depth to invite contemplation to truly be a work of art, a work of beauty. The aesthetic value of artists’ work can be perceived with our eyes or ears; however, in order for art to enrich our lives, we must also appreciate it intuitively with our minds and spirit.

If we want to enjoy a rich, refined lifestyle, we must have art in our lives. We must constantly familiarize ourselves with what is true, good, and beautiful in this world, and not focus all our attention on the pursuit of fame and fortune.
