Why art? Because art is easily
accessible expression. There is an art form for nearly everyone, whether it be
painting, music, writing, acting etc. etc. Art provides a means of conveying
the feelings one desires to show. Blues musicians used their songs to express
their troubles, writers express the beliefs and moral lessons that they desire
to teach, they all express what can’t just be expressed in normal spoken word.
Some things need a more powerful medium to be communicated, and the medium for
many people is art. Art is also experienced by more than just it’s creators. It
is a wonderful group experience that many people get to share.
The role of the artist is to create. They are the ones that
have the message to send and the beauty to show. They provide the material for
people to take in and interpret. Their responsibilities are to create something
that they enjoy and hope that others share that enjoyment, and to effectively
convey whatever message that they want to convey.
I am somewhat an artist because I play music. Sadly I don’t
get to play guitar as much as I used to but I still pick it up from time to
time. My favorite genre to play has always been blues because of how much emotion
blues musicians put into their work. No matter how simple or complex it is when
I play a blues song I feel like I’m really pouring my heart out and expressing
myself without even having to say a word, it’s wonderful.
