People usually look at art and say, "Hmm, well, it's just art. There's nothing special to it". That is because you are not looking at it with imagination but with a lack of artistic belief. There is always a bigger picture when it comes down to art. Art for me, is something truly remarkable. It is a great way to express emotions and express creativity for certain criteria. As you can tell, I am very passionate about the arts. Why am I so passionate? It is because art makes you feel something unless you are not artistic. It makes you feel warmth; it makes you feel comfortable; it makes you feel furious; it makes you feel revengeful, defeated, conflicted, and undefeated. Art isn't always positive; it can sometimes be negative. But it is how you interpret that negativity, and turn it into positivity. Art has been a great inspiration of hope for people all over the world. Not only does it express emotion, but it expresses how creatively we can turn a situation from negative to positive. For example, COVID-19. Covid-19 was the main cause of isolation and social distancing due to how extreme the virus was, but even though we were separated, we were still able to connect through social media, art, and other interests. During COVID-19, there were also the BLM movements. Many visual artists of the art community also painted murals and more signifying the message of black lives matter and other social justice movements that occurred during that time. Have I mentioned that art comes in different forms? Not just in visuality, but also in songs? Songs have musical artistry. In rap songs, the different tempos and rhythms, the different songwriting styles, and how we express them; that is art. So many songs that I listen to are so relatable it makes me cry; I see the true art and talent in it. For example, my favorite lyricist, phenomenal songwriter, SZA, first name Solana, has come from many challenges during her college time, dealing with drugs, and everything going on, so she resorted to music, which has helped her and shaped her to the person she is today. Outstanding achievements she has made; it almost feels like she writes her songs personally to me, haha! Her recent album, S.O.S., has impacted me. Her song 'Gone Girl' really resonates with me because it is about moving forward from things that have happened and growing from those challenges. That is the significance of art. You resonate with it. You learn and relate to it. That is why I am so passionate about art, because I resonate with it and continue to move forward from many obstacles, and hopefully, I can teach people the significance of art and how, without art, the world will be dull and numb. there is still room for more art significance in this society. We need change. I want people to look through the glass, open their eyes, and make discoveries. I want to help people see that no matter the circumstances, the grass will always be greener on the other side. The world doesn't just end at something small, but rather continues spinning in thought; life keeps going. The deeper significance of life just keeps going. Art can help people look through both lenses black and white. Art really can help people in many ways and I want people to see the true value and how it can open up new imaginary worlds. You have the power to make art anything. Art is anything.
