Splendid Art
''Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
Humans are splendid artists by birth. Every individual has his own quality in various fields. An art is the inventive quality of thinking and imagination. Arts make the man powerful, resourceful and brave and restructure his feelings, thoughts and aptitudes. Art is inspiring and stimulating for the human mind. Of course, we all don't like the same types of art or enjoy every single piece in the same way; however, when we see a work of art, our feelings and thoughts are often awakened. There is a connection of art as an exterior stimulus with an inner emotional state in our minds. This is one reason behind the value placed on art.
Throughout history, art has been given many valuable meanings, and different objects have been given a great importance because of what they mean or represent to a specific group of people. Some have been treasured because of their religious significance; others have become symbols of political power or national identity. Some are not only valued for their beauty but are also given a material value, especially pieces created with precious metals. Others have become symbols of their time.
The modern trends and developments come about in this field are not desirable. The coarse styles and trends emerging in arts make the arts inhumane and immoral so that people keep away from the real artistic way of life. These trends destroy the arts and nullify its beauty. An art is a way of life to civilize the people, to modify their aptitudes, to facilitate the love and harmony, to discard the evil from the hearts, rather to purify the body and soul.
