Why Do We Create Art?

While some people argue the biggest reason people create art is for money, I think you should change they are, to their and drop the are. They are wrong, because the main reason people create art is for self-expression.

There are other causes why people create art, and I can see that there is. Some reasons are that people want to create art for money and sell their art work. Another reason people might create is so they can communicate with others. Or maybe so they can record a time, place, person, or action. Some people might even just want to create a piece of art work so they can tell a story. So, as you can see there are many other reasons for art.

There are many reasons why people create art, but in my opinion the most important reason for art is self-expression. Art is something anyone can do to express any of his or her thoughts or emotions in an abstract way. You can somewhat tell what message they were trying to get across and their emotions by their lines, colors, and images. The artwork people make is unique and no one can replicate it or see it in the same way. When someone tries to recreate a composition it can never be the same because it won’t have the same thoughts put into it. Everyone sees artwork in a different way; they have their own perspective on things and see a different message.

Therefore, self-expression is the main reason people create art. So, the next look at art don’t just look at it with your eyes, look at it with your heart; try to understand what message the person is trying to give and appreciate the work and thoughts they put into it. And for artists out there, next time you are about to create a piece of artwork; don’t just draw with your hand, draw with your heart; draw what your feel and it will have a much greater value to it.
