TRIBUTE TO FINE ARTS

Art is an act of expressing our feelings, thoughts, and observations. Generally art is a product of human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind; by transmitting emotions and ideas.

Art refers to a diverse range of human activities and artifacts, and may be used to cover all or any of the arts, including music, literature and other forms. It is most often used to refer specifically to the visual arts, including mediums such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking.

Today we are going to make a tribute to those students who have demonstrated to be talented in art and music.

ART  

ART has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it necessarily regarded as an artist. Both the notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are relatively modern terms.

 Many of the objects we identify as art today -- Greek painted pottery, medieval manuscript illuminations, and so on -- were made in times and places when people had no concept of "art" as we understand the term. These objects may have been appreciated in various ways and often admired, but not as "art" in the current sense.

Nowadays, the creation of art is personal. No one can tell us whether our creation is art or not. Art is inspiration and emotions in a very subjective way. Art is the way we can express our feelings and thoughts about the world we live in. Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels to be alive.

Art is color, color is life, life is beauty and beauty is pleasure.

Enjoy art!! Enjoy your life!!

MUSIC IS SOMETHING WE LIKE

What is music? Music is what comes out of the speakers when we hear a CD on a stereo. It is what we hear on the radio. Music is singers singing and musicians playing. Music is a sound that we enjoy hearing.

Music creates emotions or interacts with emotions we already feel. Music is inspiration for people of all ages. Music is the language that we can all use to communicate. We do not only express feelings but also ideas about political, religious or social beliefs.

Music is the friend we turn to when we are sad or when we just need to be alone for a while. Music is in each one of us, it is in our minds, our hearts and our souls. Music is what gives us an identity and what can make us different from the others.

Let's use the power of music to unite and to make the world a better place to live in.

Music is soul! Music is life! We are music! Enjoy it!!
