As we go about our day, it’s easy to take the art that we’re surrounded by for granted. From the clothes you wear to the buildings you pass by, art is everywhere — and it’s a reminder of how creative people can be. Let’s take a closer look at how art shapes our everyday lives and why it matters.
When we think of art, most often the first thing that comes to mind are paintings, sculptures, and drawings — but art goes beyond these disciplines. It can include fashion design, architecture, photography, music composition — any form of expression. Art is a powerful form of communication and self-expression that has been around for centuries. It allows us to express who we are and gives us a way to connect with each other on deeper levels. We can use art to tell stories, share experiences, evoke emotions — all without ever having to say a word.

The connection
between life and art
OF EVERYDAY ART
We don’t usually think of the things around us as “art” — but they are. Think about the clothes you wear or your favorite chair in your living room. All of these objects were designed with intention and thoughtfulness; they are works of art in their own right. Even the buildings that surround us were designed with aesthetics in mind. From the way their structure flows together to the colors used on its facade or even an intricate iron gate leading up to its entrance — all these elements come together to create something beautiful and unique.

ART
AS INSPIRATION
Finally, art can serve as an inspiration for us all. Whether it’s artwork from centuries ago or contemporary pieces created today — there is so much beauty and creativity out there just waiting for us to discover it. Art encourages us not only to appreciate what others have created but also pushes us forward in our own creative endeavors; inspiring us to create something new and different from what has been done before. No matter where you look or what you do throughout your day-to-day life, chances are you're surrounded by some form of art — whether you realize it or not. Everything is a form of creative expression that should be appreciated for what it is: ART! So next time you're out exploring the world around you, take some time pause and appreciate all the beauty that's hidden in plain sight. You never know what artistic gems may await your discovery.
