Appreciate it!

Art can be anything. The tree outside your bedroom window. The flower in your

front yard. The man singing Hallelujah on the corner of the street where bums hang out.

People who don’t Appreciate art will want to come to their senses whn thinking about art,

It can be anything beautiful, sad, mad, mean, wrong, harsh, lovely, calming, and warm.

The only thing it can’t me is appreciated by youArt haters of America can read this

persuasive essay, and think about if they really do hate art or maybe they should think

about cultural art, life art, and different art they’ve never heard of..

First of all, Anyart can be anything and everything. Dancing, food, music,

painting, and pencil drawing. Food for instance. Cultures like Italian make food very

well, in ways that’s an art form. Can you say that you can make a home made lasagna

dish from a recipe your great, great grandma handed down from her great, great

grandma? I don’t think so. Just like many traditions cultures have, some of those are

expressed by art. art, can make you feel anything, by the colors on a canvas, in the lyrics

of a song or the movement of a dancer.There

is no mawya you nacannot like the sun on a hot day glishoniong on the ocean, or lake

water while it is hitting your body while your standing in the sand.

Second, When your see something that was created mby god and you say or look

a birdf. Yeah thatns great but what really it a bird. Its it just fellthers and a beak ?

Noobviously I can’t force you to like art.Some one asked “What is art” I found the best

example “Art is form and content” (Esaak) But if you really think about it, the last time

you went to a museum, what did you look at? Did you look at the sculpture that everyone

glances at for a second, or the paintings that are seen by billions of people a week? These

paintings and sculptures are ways of documenting our nation’s history, and learn about

other culture’s history. Not appreciating art can make you refuse to learn about your

country. To learn about my country through art is just one way I would want to spend my

days in school. That’s why you should convert and be on the beautiful side of the world

of Art. it’s a nurturing greatue that has someonwhat of alife of feeding her kids. Or hwne

you see a tree blowing in the miwind its just nature, or “science” right? NO it’s the things

not seen that moves the biggest tree in the forest. To not believe in aret to not appreciate

art is to not bereath breath. If your in a dessert you can see something beautiful such as

art , the cacuses the tumbleweeds, the one road highway that looks like it has no end.

Third, WhnI am sorry for the people who think art is crap. My example might

help you understand.

“I could tell you that art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich.

Imagine, just for a minute, a world without art! (You may think "So what?", but please

consider the impact that lack of graphics would have on your favorite video game.) Art

stimulates different parts of our brains to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole

gamut of emotions in between. Art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves.

For some people, art is the entire reason they get out of bed in the morning. You could
 Richardson3

say "Art is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded humans."”

(Esaak) Obviously the fact that people who make modern art or have interesting ways of

making difficult designs, are not “real” artists. Only because they can’t create realistic

images, sculptures, any other type of expression. you really thingk about it every culture

has art. Chinese have thire theater, dragaon pinyatas, the way they have weddings only

read, mainly that’s beautiful, maybe not so much to them but to a ture aret lover its

gorgieos. Italy has they way they make food so brillianltyly whby trying so many things

like pixzza, pasta, lagsana, plus the well known artishts that were aborn there, Leaonardo

Da vinci, Van Gough. Frsaance is the art capital of the warld. (I honestly think that if

everyone liked art, we would all be happier people, which is why I am writing this paper.

incomplete)

Finally Obviously it is hard to like something whn you cant gdo it. Like art,

dance, music. In my opinion some perople might not like it art because it s what they can

do. Some ways of art can be performed by sprots if your really into soports/. The act of

throwing a ball around isn’t known to be art, but it can turn into art by talking pictures of

foodtball bagames or soccor games or even swimmingh. You can only see so mkuch art

around you.

INconclusionIn ,conclusion, in many ways you can see how many different

aspects of art there really is People who don’t Appreciate art will want to come to their

senses whn thinking about ar. t. You can feel anything by looking at it. Sadness, Joy,

hatred, warm, cold. God created the earth and the creatures and inhabit it. Part of those

creatures art art. Every culture has art incroperatend with every thing else. TI;s very hard

to apprieciate something when lyou can achieve it. But not just paointings, dancing,
 Richardson4

theater, and mushic is art. You can turely find art ieverywehrn you leek I honestly lthink

if more peoole enjoyed anr loved aret as much as art loverCulturally there are a lot of

expressed feelings, with food and s do then thigs world would be way earsier to live

on!.different art you don’t even know of. So the next time you go to a museum, think

about why it really is there, ask your self this, Do I really hate art? See how you feel

when you answer it.
