An artistic image is a generalized idea of ​​reality, an attitude to life, to the world around us, expressed in the language of art. Revealing his inner world, the artist is always tuned in to the wave of his time with all its worries and joys, anticipating certain changes. Therefore, it becomes possible to create an artistic image of the era.

1. Introduction.

I chose to work on the topic "The Role of Art in Human Life" because I wanted to deepen and generalize knowledge about art. It was interesting for me to broaden my horizons and find out what functions art performs, what is the role of art in a person's life, in order to further discuss this from the point of view of a knowledgeable person.

I consider the chosen topic of work to be relevant, since certain aspects of the topic have not been fully studied and the research carried out is aimed at overcoming this gap. She encourages me to show intellectual abilities, moral and communication qualities;

Before starting work, I conducted a survey among the students of our school. By asking them a few questions in order to identify their relationship to art. We got the following results.

The survey showed that the work will help people understand the significance of art and, I think, will attract many, if not to art, then it will arouse interest in the problem.

My work is also of practical importance, because the materials can be used to prepare for an essay on literature, for oral presentations at lessons in fine arts, MHC, and later to prepare for exams.

Target work: to prove the importance of various types of art in human life;show how art affects the formation of the spiritual culture of a person's personality; arouse people's interest in the art world.

Tasks - to reveal the essence of art, to consider the relationship between man and art in society, to consider the main functions of art in society, their significance and role for a person.

Problematic issues: How does art express the feelings of a person and the world around him?

Why do they say “that life is short, but art is eternal”?

What is art? When, how and why did art emerge?

What role does art play in a person's life and in my life?

Expected Result

After getting acquainted with my work, a higher level of development of an emotional-value attitude towards the world, phenomena of life and art is expected; understanding the place and role of art in people's lives.

2.1 Concept of art

"Art gives wings and takes you far - far!" -
said the writerA.P. Chekhov

How nice it would be if someone created a device that would show the degree of influence of art on a person, society as a whole, and even on nature. How do painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, the quality of his life? Can this impact be measured and predicted? Of course, culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is capable, when choosing the right direction and priorities of life, to have a beneficial effect on both an individual and society as a whole.

Art is the creative comprehension of the surrounding world by a talented person. The fruits of this understanding belong not only to its creators, but to all of humanity living on planet Earth.

Immortal are the beautiful creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Raphael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarch, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. It captures the spirit when you try to grasp with your mind everything created by geniuses, preserved and continued by their descendants and followers.

In a primitive societyprimitive creativityis born with a viewHomo sapiensas a way of human activity for solving practical problems. Arising in the eramiddle paleolithic, primitive artreached its heyday about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodying a new stage in the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as the shell necklace found in South Africa, date back to 75 millennium BC. NS. and more. In the Stone Age, art was represented by primitive rituals, music, dances, all kinds of body decorations, geoglyphs - images on the ground, dendrographs - images on the bark of trees, images on animal skins, cave paintings, rock paintings,petroglyphs and sculpture.

The emergence of art is associated withgames, rituals and ritualsincluding duemythologically- magicalrepresentations.

Now the word "art" is often used in its original, very broad meaning. This is any skill in the implementation of any tasks, requiring some kind of perfection in its results. In a narrower sense of the word, this is creativity "according to the laws of beauty." Works of art, like works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". A work of art, like all other types of social consciousness, is always the unity of the object cognizable in it and the subject cognizing this object.

In a primitive, pre-class society, art as a special kind of social consciousness did not yet exist independently. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about a past life, with primitive geographical concepts, with moral requirements.

And then art stood out among them in a special specific kind of it. It has become one of the forms of development of social consciousness of various peoples. This is how it should be viewed.

Thus, art is a kind of social consciousness, it is an artistic content, not a scientific one. L. Tolstoy, for example, defined art as a means of exchange of feelings, opposing it with science as a means of exchange of thoughts.

Art is often compared to a reflecting mirror that reflects reality through the thoughts and feelings of the creator. Through him, this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the artist's attention, excited him.

Here one can rightfully see one of the most important specific features of art as a type of human activity.

Any product of labor - be it a tool, tool, machine, or means of maintaining life - is created for some special need. Even such products of spiritual production as scientific research may well remain accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, without losing anything in their social significance.

But a work of art can be recognized as such only on condition of universality, "general interest" of its content. The artist is called upon to express something that is equally important for both the driver and the scientist, which is applicable to their life, not only to the extent of the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the extent of their involvement in public life, the ability to be a human being, to be a person.

2.2. Kinds of art

Depending on the material means with which works of art are constructed, three groups of art forms objectively arise: 1) spatial, or plastic (painting, sculpture, graphics, art photography, architecture, arts and crafts and design), i.e. those who unfold their images in space; 2) temporary (verbal and musical), that is, those where images are built in time, and not in real space; 3) spatio-temporal (dance; acting and everything based on it; synthetic - theater, cinema, television, circus, etc.), that is, those whose images have both length and duration, corporeality and dynamism. Each type of art is directly characterized by the way of material existence of its works and the type of figurative signs used. Within these limits, all its types have varieties, which are determined by the characteristics of this or that material and the originality of the artistic language that follows from this.

So, the varieties of verbal art are oral creativity and written literature; varieties of music - vocal and different types of instrumental music; varieties of performing arts - dramatic, musical, puppet, shadow theater, as well as stage and circus; types of dance - everyday dance, classical, acrobatic, gymnastic, ice dance, etc.

On the other hand, each art form has generic and genre divisions. The criteria for these divisions are defined in different ways, but the very presence of such types of literature as epic, lyric, drama, such types of fine art as easel, monumental-decorative, miniature, such genres of painting as portrait, landscape, still life ...

Thus, art, taken as a whole, is a historically formed system of various concrete methods of artistic development of the world,

each of which has features common to all and individually unique.

2.3. Functions of art

Art has similarities and differences with other forms of social consciousness. Just like science, it objectively reflects reality, cognizes its important and essential aspects. But unlike science, which assimilates the world with the help of abstract theoretical thinking, art learns the world through figurative thinking. Reality appears in art as a whole, in the richness of its sensory manifestations.

Unlike science, artistic consciousness does not set itself the goal of giving any special information about private branches of social practice and revealing their regularities, such as physical, economic, etc. The subject of art is everything that is interesting for a person in life.

The goals that the author or creator deliberately and consciously sets for himself while working on a work have direction. This can be some kind of political goal, a commentary on social status, the creation of a certain mood or emotion, a psychological impact, an illustration of something, a promotion of a product (in the case of advertising), or simply the transmission of a certain message.

1. Means of communication.In its simplest form, art is a means of communication. Like most other means of communication, it carries the intention of conveying information to the audience. For example, scientific illustration is also an art form that exists to convey information. Another example of this kind is geographic maps. However, the content of the message is not necessarily scientific. Art allows you to convey not only objective information, but also emotions, mood, feelings.
2. Art as entertainment... The purpose of art can be to create a mood or emotion that helps you relax or have fun. Very often, cartoons or video games are created for this very purpose.
3. Vanguard, art for political change.One of the defining goals of early 20th century art was the creation of works that provoke political change. The directions that have emerged for this purpose are -dadaism, surrealism, Russian constructivism, abstract expressionism- collectively referred tovanguard.
4. Art for psychotherapy.Psychologists and psychotherapists can use art for medicinal purposes. A special technique based on the analysis of the patient's drawings is used to diagnose the state of the personality and emotional status. In this case, the ultimate goal is not diagnostics, but mental health.
5. Art for social protest, overthrow of the existing order and / or anarchy.As a form of protest, art may not have any specific political goal, but be limited to criticism of the existing regime or some of its aspects.

2.4. The role of art in human life

All arts serve the greatest of the arts - the art of living on earth.
Bertolt Brecht

Now it is impossible to imagine that ourlifewould not accompany art,creation... Wherever and whenever you livehuman, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means he sought to understand and figuratively, intelligibly convey the knowledge gained to the next generations. This is how wall paintings appeared in caves - ancient human encampments. And this was born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes already passed by the ancestors, but the transmission of the beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.

Humanity did not mark time, it progressively moved forward and higher, and the art that accompanies a person at all stages of this long and painful path developed in the same way. If you turn to the Renaissance, you admire the heights reached by artists and poets, musicians and architects. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of man in the world, where he is destined to travel his short, but wonderful, sometimes tragic path.

Art is one of the most important stages in human evolution. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each epoch, with each century, it is more and more improved by man. At all times, art has helped people develop their abilities, improve abstract thinking. Over the centuries, people have tried to change art more and more, improve it, deepen their knowledge. Art is the great secret of the world, which contains the secrets of the history of our life. Art is our history. Sometimes in it you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today, a person can no longer imagine life without a novel he has read, without a new movie, without a premiere in the theater, without a fashion hit and a favorite musical group, without art exhibitions ... In art, a person finds new knowledge, answers to vital questions, and reassurance from the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoyment. A real work of art is always in tune with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel can talk about a distant historical era, about people, it seems, of a completely different way and style of life, but the feelings that people have been imbued with at all times are understandable to the current reader, consonant with him if the novel is written by a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet lived in Verona in ancient times. It is not the time and place of action that determines my perception of the great love and faithful friendship described by the brilliant Shakespeare.

Russia has not become a distant province of art. Even at the dawn of its emergence, she loudly and boldly declared her right to stand next to the greatest creators of Europe: "The Lay of Igor's Campaign", icons and paintings by Andrei Rublev and Theophanes the Greek, cathedrals of Vladimir, Kiev and Moscow. We are not only proud of the amazing proportions of the Church of the Intercession on Nerl and the Moscow Intercession Cathedral, better known as the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, but we also sacredly honor the names of its creators.

Ancient creations are not the only ones that grab our attention. We constantly come across works of art in our daily life. Visiting museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that wonderful world, which is accessible at first only to geniuses, and then to others, we learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has already become a part of our everyday life.

Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Eliminate all this from the life of a civilized person, and he will turn, if not into an animal, then into a robot or a zombie. The wealth of art is inexhaustible. It is impossible to visit all museums in the world, all symphonies, sonatas, operas cannot be listened to, all masterpieces of architecture cannot be reviewed, all novels, poems, and poems cannot be re-read. And to nothing. Know-it-alls are actually superficial people. Of all the diversity, a person chooses for the soul that which is closest to him, which gives the basis for his mind and feelings.

The possibilities of art are multifaceted. Art forms intellectual and moral qualities, stimulates creativity, and promotes successful socialization. In ancient Greece, the visual arts were considered as an effective means of influencing a person. The galleries exhibited sculptures that personified noble human qualities ("Mercy", "Justice", etc.). It was believed that, contemplating beautiful statues, a person absorbs all the best that they reflect. The same applies to the paintings of the great masters.

A group of researchers led by Professor Marina de Tommaso from the University of Bari, Italy, found that beautiful paintings can reduce pain, writes the Daily Telegraph today. Scientists hope that the new results will convince hospitals and hospitals to be more concerned with decorating patients' rooms.

In the course of the study, a group of people, both their men and their women, were asked to look at 300 paintings by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, as well as select 20 paintings from them that they find the most beautiful and most ugly. At the next stage, the subjects were shown these pictures or did not show anything, leaving a large black wall for pictures free, and simultaneously hit the participants with a short laser pulse comparable in strength to touching a hot frying pan. It has been found that when people see pictures they like, pain is three times less intense than when they are forced to look at an ugly picture or a black wall.

Not only children, but often adults too, are unable to cope with their emotions. We live according to the rules, we force ourselves with constant "It is necessary, necessary, necessary ...", forgetting about our desires. Because of this, an internal discontent arises, which a person, being a social being, tries to keep in himself. As a result, the body suffers, because a negative emotional state often leads to various diseases. Creativity in this case helps to relieve emotional stress, harmonize the inner world and achieve mutual understanding with others. Of course, this can be not only drawing, but also applications, embroidery, photography, modeling from matches, prose, poetry and much more, one way or another related to art.

The question of how literature affects a person, his behavior and psyche, what mechanisms lead to peculiar experiences and, as a consequence, to a change in a person's personality characteristics when reading a literary work, has occupied the minds of many scientists and researchers from ancient times to the present. Fiction, giving knowledge of reality, expands the mental horizons of readers of all ages, gives an emotional experience that goes beyond what a person could acquire in his life, forms artistic taste, delivers aesthetic pleasure, which occupies a large place in the life of a modern person and is one of his needs. But most importantly, the main function of fiction is the formation of deep and stable feelings in people, prompting them to think through, define their worldview, direct behavior personality.

Literature is for people a school of feelings and cognition of reality and forms an idea about the ideal actions of people, about the beauty of the world and relationships. The Word is a great mystery. Its magical power lies in the ability to evoke vivid images, to transport the reader to another world. Without literature, we would never have learned that once upon a time there lived a wonderful person and writer Victor Hugo or, for example, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. We would not know anything about the time when they lived. Thanks to literature, we become more educated, we learn the history of our ancestors.

The influence of music on a person is great. A person hears sound not only with his ears; he hears the sound with every part of his body. Sound permeates his entire being, and in accordance with a certain influence slows down or accelerates the rhythm of blood circulation; either excites the nervous system or calms it down; awakens in a person stronger passions or pacifies him, bringing him peace. A certain effect is produced according to the sound. Therefore, knowledge of sound can provide a person with a magical tool for directing, tuning, controlling and using life, as well as helping other people with the greatest benefit.It is no secret that art can heal.

Isotherapy, dance therapy, music therapy are already common truths.

The scientist Robert Schofler, the creator of musical pharmacology, prescribes to listen to all the symphonies of Tchaikovsky, Schubert's "Forest Tsar", Beethoven's ode "To Joy" for therapeutic purposes. He claims that these works contribute to an accelerated recovery. And researchers at the University of California have experimentally proved that after 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's music, tests showed an increase in the intelligence quotient of students by 8-9 units.

But not all art heals.

For example: Rock music - causes the release of stress hormones, which erase some of the information in the brain, cause aggression or depression. Russian psychologist D. Azarov notes that there is a special combination of notes, he called them killer music. Having listened to such musical phrases several times, a person has a gloomy mood and thoughts.

Bell ringing kills quickly:

1. typhoid bacteria
2. viruses.

Classical music (Mozart and others) contributes to:

1. general reassurance
2. increase in milk excretion (by 20%) in nursing mothers.

 The rhythmic sounds of some performers, through a direct effect on the brain, contribute to:

1. release of stress hormones
2. memory impairment
3. weakening (after 1-2 years) of the general condition (especially when listening to music with headphones).

Mantra, or meditative sounds "om", "aum", etc., have a vibrating character.
Vibrations initially promote the activation of certain organs, brain structures. At the same time, many different hormones are released into the blood. (This probably helps to do monotonous work with less energy).

Vibrating sounds cause

1. pleasure - for some people, for others - the same sounds cause
2. stress reaction with the release of hormones and a sharp increase in oxidative metabolism.

1. contributes to a sharp rise in blood pressure,
2. often leading to heart cramps.

In the literary sources of antiquity, we find many examples of the purposeful influence of music on the mental state of people. Plutarch says that Alexander the Great's fits of frenzied anger were usually pacified by playing the lyre. The mighty Achilles, according to Homer, tried, playing the lyre, to cool his "famous" anger, which begins the action in the Iliad.

It was believed that music saves from inevitable death when bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions. As an antidote in these cases, music was widely recommended by one of the most famous physicians of Ancient Rome, Galen. Nirkus, a companion of Alexander the Great on his campaigns, having visited India, said that in this country, teeming with poisonous snakes, singing is considered the only remedy for their bites. How can we explain the miraculous effect of music? Studies of our time have shown that music in such cases acts not as an antidote, but as a means of eliminating mental trauma, it helps the victim to suppress the feeling of horror. This is just one example when the health and even life of a person largely depends on his state of mind. But even this particular example allows one to judge how great the role of the nervous system in the body is. It must be taken into account when explaining the mechanism of the impact of art means on human health.

Even more striking is the effect of music on emotions. The influence of music on emotions was known in ancient times. Music was used for medicinal purposes and in war. Music acts both as a means of distracting from thoughts that disturb a person, and as a means of calming and even healing. Music plays a great role as a means of fighting overwork. Music can set a certain rhythm before starting work, tune in to deep rest during a break.

Art makes the world of people more beautiful, lively and vibrant. For example, painting: how many old paintings have survived to our time, by which it is possible to determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings written by our contemporaries, and whatever it is: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, painting is a wonderful art, with the help of which a person has learned to see the world bright and colorful.
Architecture is another of the most important forms of art. A huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered all over the world, and they are not just called "monuments" - they contain the greatest secrets of history and the memory of them. Sometimes these mysteries cannot be solved by scientists all over the world.
Of course, in order to perceive the beauty of opera, for example, it is necessary to know its features, to understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers convey all the shades of life and feelings and affect the thoughts and emotions of the audience. The perception of poetry and the visual arts also requires some preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not developed a technique of expressive reading, if he will spend all his energy on composing words from the sounds spoken and will not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.

The effect of the means of art on a person can be caused by a long-term or long-term one. This emphasizes the great possibilities for using art in order to obtain a persistent and long-lasting effect, using it for educational purposes, as well as for general health improvement and prevention. Art acts not on any one human ability and strength, be it emotion or intellect, but on a person as a whole. It forms, sometimes unaccountably, the very system of human attitudes.

The artistic genius of the famous poster by D. Moor "Have you signed up as a volunteer?" Those. the power of art consists in appealing to the human conscience, awakening its spiritual abilities. And on this occasion, you can cite the famous words of Pushkin:

Burn the hearts of people with the verb.

It seems that this is the true purpose of art.

2.5 Life is short, art is eternal.

Art is eternal and beautiful, because it brings beauty and goodness to the world.

A person is presented with very strict requirements and art must reflect these requirements. Artists of classicism were equal to classical samples. It was believed that the eternal is unchanging - therefore, one must learn from the Greek and Roman authors. Knights, kings, dukes very often become heroes. They were convinced that truth creates beauty in art - therefore, the writer must imitate nature and portray life believably. Rigid canons of the theory of classicism appear. The expert on art Boileau writes: "The incredible is not capable of touching, even if the truth always looks believable." The writers of classicism approached life from the standpoint of reason, they did not trust the feeling, they considered it changeable and deceitful. Accurate, reasonable, truthful and beautiful. "You need to think about the thought and only then write."

Art does not become obsolete. In the book of the academician philosopher I.T. Frolov wrote: “The reason for this is the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character, which is ultimately conditioned by the constant appeal to man. The unique unity of man and the world in a work of art, "human reality". The renowned Danish physicist Niels Bohr wrote: "The reason why art can enrich us is its ability to remind us of harmonies beyond the reach of systematic analysis." In art, problems are often highlighted for all mankind, "eternal": what is good and evil, freedom, human dignity. The changing conditions of each era force us to solve these issues anew.

Art is multifaceted, eternal, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental exertion, a certain work of thought. A person must want to learn to see and understand beauty, then art will have a beneficial effect on him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works are capable of influencing millions, and this can be beneficial or detrimental.

Let me give you a simple example. For example, an artist painted a picture. The painting depicts negative scenes of murder, everywhere there is blood, dirt, the most chaotic, harsh tones are used, in short, the whole picture acts depressingly on the viewer, causing negative emotions in a person. The energy comes from the picture is extremely depressing. So much for the complete interconnection of the artist's thinking with the physical creation of the picture and, accordingly, the viewer or spectators looking at it ... Imagine thousands, tens of thousands of such depressing pictures. The same can be said about our cinema. What cartoons do our children watch, not to mention adult films? And in general, now there is not even such a prohibition "Up to 16" as in the 70s. Continuous "negativism" ... Imagine how much negative energy in the country, in the world, on the whole Earth! .. The same can be said about all types of our art!
“Thinking together with action brings about change. If they are noble, then they liberate, save, promote prosperity. enrich. If they are base, then they enslave, impoverish, weaken, destroy. If the propaganda of violence, the cult of strength, evil steps on our screens, we will perish after the unlucky heroes of these one-day militants.

True art should be beautiful, have a kind, humane beginning with age-old traditions.

3. Conclusion.

Art plays a vital role in our lives, helping future generations to grow morally. Each generation contributes to the development of humanity, enriching it culturally. Without art, we would hardly be able to look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, look beyond the ordinary, feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small veins, blood vessels, organs.

Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, fears - everything that every person lives with - acquire increativityspecial color and strength.

It is impossible for everyone to be creators, but it is within our power to try to penetrate into the essence of the creation of a genius, to come closer to understanding the beautiful. And the more often we become contemplators of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners to beautiful music, the better for us and those around us.

Art helps us to master science and gradually deepen our knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:

Forms in a person the ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beauty in the surrounding reality and art,

Forms the skills of using the means of art to understand the life of people, nature itself;

Develops a deep understanding of the beauty of nature, the surrounding world. the ability to preserve this beauty;

Arms people with knowledge, as well as instills skills and abilities in the field of available arts - music, painting, theater, artistic expression, architecture;

Develops creativity, abilities and skills to feel and create beauty in the surrounding life, at home, in everyday life;

Develops an understanding of beauty in human relationships, the desire and ability to bring beauty into everyday life.

So, art affects our life from all sides, makes it diverse and vibrant, lively and interesting, rich, helping a person to better and better understand his purpose in this world.Our earthly world is woven from perfection and imperfection. And it depends only on the person himself how he will make his future, what he will read, what he will listen to, how he will speak.

“The best means for educating feelings in general, for awakening the feelings of beauty, for the development of creative imagination, is art itself,” the scientist-psychologist N.Ye. Rumyantsev.

It is impossible to overestimate the importance of art. It is difficult to give an exact definition, its manifestations are so diverse, it is so difficult and accessible at the same time. But one thing is clear: no society exists without art, and a person's life without art is poor and uninteresting.

The role and place of art in the life of society do not remain unchanged.

Some eras live in art, for example, Antiquity, the Renaissance. In others, the life of society is determined by religion - the Middle Ages. In our country, due to the uniqueness of its historical development, art has always played a huge role and was the spokesman for ideas and views that differ from those officially recognized and imposed. Through art, people comprehended their being, in it they looked for and found answers to the most pressing questions of life. They argued with him, imitated his heroes, lived them.

However, in recent years, when it became possible to openly express one's views, and political diktat faded into history, the public sound of art has diminished. Art has ceased to be the only platform for the expression of public opinion. Nor was it in countries with developed democracies. Taking this into account, some theorists and public figures began to assert that art played its historical role and that only the gnedonic function and the narrowly understood aesthetic function remained behind it: to give people rest, entertainment and admiring the beautiful. The stream of entertainment literature and TV series about the "beautiful life" kind of confirms this. But if the nature of art was reduced only to these of its functions, it is unlikely that humanity would be able to reach those spiritual, moral, aesthetic heights, to acquire the subtlety of feelings, sincerity and responsiveness that are inherent in true humanity.

“Oh, the circle of our ideas would be pathetic if we were presented only to our five senses and our brain processed the food obtained by them. Often, one powerful artistic image is embedded in our souls more than it has been obtained by many years of life. We realize that the best and most precious part of our “I” does not belong to us, but to that spiritual milk, to which the powerful hand of creativity brings us closer, ”noted the Russian writer V.M. Garshin (20).

Sometimes, and not rarely, a work of art read or seen has a huge impact on a person's behavior and even determines his whole life.

“Eugene Onegin defined a lot in me. If then, all my life to this last day, I was always the first to write, the first to stretch out my hand - and hands, not fearing the court - it is only because at the dawn of my days, Tatyana, lying in a book, by candlelight, with a disheveled braid thrown over her chest , did it in front of my eyes.

And if later, when they left (they always left), not only did I not stretch out my hands after, and didn’t turn my head, it was only because then, in the garden, Tatyana froze like a statue.

A lesson in courage. A lesson in pride. A lesson in loyalty. The lesson of fate. A lesson in loneliness, ”says Marina Tsvetaeva (21; 43).

“Through art (singing and words), we express our feelings of love, sorrow and joy, to the sound of music we go more boldly to victory, to the same sounds we mourn the fallen heroes. Art adorns temples, it teaches us to pray better, love God more and feel the feelings of others. Art ... is the spokesman and interpreter of the human soul, the mediator between God and man. Art speaks more clearly, more concretely, more beautifully what everyone would like to say but cannot. Art is like a guiding star that illuminates the path with those striving forward towards the light. He wants to be better, more perfect, ”the Russian sculptor of the 19th century argued. Mark Antokolsky (22; IV; 227).

“Art shows a person what he lives for. It reveals to him the meaning of being, illuminates his life goals, helps him to understand his vocation, ”the French sculptor Auguste Rodin defines the purpose of art (23; III; 385-386).

But this high purpose of its own, for the sake of which art was created, preserved and developed by man, it fulfills only when it does not turn into simple entertainment.

And since, according to the logic of its historical development, mankind cannot prolong its existence without mutual understanding (and the need for this is growing), without communication between people, without the desire to comprehend life, to understand others and, above all, oneself, without the joy of co-creation and creativity, without admiration and admiration for beauty, then the need for art, and, consequently, art itself will exist as long as there are people on Earth. And communication with him makes each person mentally thinner, spiritually richer. You just need to understand the nature of art and its high purpose, learn to love art and respect its creators.

What is contemporary art? The answer to this question still torments art historians, critics, and artists. If this is what exists now, this is the work of all artists who work in our time. Or it is a kind of narrow direction, which is characterized by various innovative tendencies, and only what is relevant. There are many different phenomena between these two poles. And it probably depends on the context in which we are.

In principle, contemporary art is the art that is created by our contemporaries. Very often, the author's works of art do not find understanding. For most viewers, this looks like an incomprehensible attempt at self-expression of an individual person. This conflict is between the viewer and the creator. Some kind of provocation (Figure 10).

Figure 1 - Examples of contemporary art

This provocation is needed to force him to go beyond the usual ideas about art, to destroy stereotypes. But it cannot be said that the tastes of society in the field of culture, works of art are spoiled. After all, they were still brought up on classical painting, classical sculpture. And the classics represented a certain idealized person and society when they worked on their works of art. In contemporary art, this principle breaks down. The fact is that in their time the classics were also, as a rule, some kind of destroyers of canons and traditions. And there has always been some kind of avant-garde that expanded the boundaries, expanded the scope. Then it became the norm, the generally accepted norm. And again the moment came when it was necessary to expand the boundaries, to change the perception of the viewer. Thanks to the possibilities of our time, now any person can express themselves, creating objects of art and, with the help of them, declare themselves.

I think that any direction always has a circle of spectators, even a narrow one. Another thing is that not every work and not every direction is widely known, such as the same cubism, surrealism, pop art. After all, it rarely happens when an artist works completely alone, outside any framework, outside any direction. And if he already works with a group, it means that there are these spectators. Another thing is that not everything will end up in the museum. And not everything has to get there. But as a cultural fact, as a historical fact, the emergence of any such failed trend is also a very indicative moment. This is not necessarily an artistic fact, but a historical fact, of course, who should preserve or not preserve, who should make this choice.

Contemporary art in its current form was formed at the turn of the 1960s and 70s. The artistic quest of that time can be characterized as a search for alternatives to modernism (this often resulted in denial through the introduction of principles that were directly opposite to modernism). This was expressed in the search for new images, new means and materials of expression, up to the dematerialization of the object (performances and happenings). We can say that there has been a shift from object to process. The most notable developments at the turn of the 60s and 70s can be called the development of conceptual art and minimalism. In the 70s, the social orientation of the art process noticeably increased both in terms of content (themes raised in the work of artists) and composition: the most noticeable phenomenon of the mid-70s was feminism in art, as well as the increase in the activity of ethnic minorities (1980- f) and social groups (for example, "the art of outsiders"). The late 1970s and 1980s were characterized by a "fatigue" of conceptual art and minimalism and a return of interest in pictoriality, color and figurativeness (the rise of movements such as New Wilds). The mid-1980s saw the rise of movements that actively use the images of mass culture - campism, the art of the East Village, neo-pop is gaining momentum. The flourishing of photography in art dates back to this time - more and more artists begin to turn to it as a means of artistic expression. The art process, starting from the 80s, was greatly influenced by the development of technologies - video, audio, computers and the Internet - this significantly expanded the palette of tools used by artists

1. Introduction.

I chose to work on the topic "The Role of Art in Human Life" because I wanted to deepen and generalize knowledge about art. It was interesting for me to broaden my horizons and find out what functions art performs, what is the role of art in a person's life, in order to further discuss this from the point of view of a knowledgeable person.

I consider the chosen topic of work to be relevant, since certain aspects of the topic have not been fully studied and the research carried out is aimed at overcoming this gap. She encourages me to show intellectual abilities, moral and communication qualities;

Before starting work, I conducted a survey among the students of our school. By asking them a few questions in order to identify their relationship to art. We got the following results.

The survey showed that the work will help people understand the significance of art and, I think, will attract many, if not to art, then it will arouse interest in the problem.

My work is also of practical importance, because the materials can be used to prepare for an essay on literature, for oral presentations at lessons in fine arts, MHC, and later to prepare for exams.

Target work: to prove the importance of various types of art in human life; show how art affects the formation of the spiritual culture of a person's personality; arouse people's interest in the art world.

Tasks- to reveal the essence of art, to consider the relationship between man and art in society, to consider the main functions of art in society, their significance and role for a person.

Problematic issues: How does art express the feelings of a person and the world around him?

Why do they say “that life is short, but art is eternal”?

What is art? When, how and why did art emerge?

What role does art play in a person's life and in my life?

Expected Result

After getting acquainted with my work, a higher level of development of an emotional-value attitude towards the world, phenomena of life and art is expected; understanding the place and role of art in people's lives.

2.1 Concept of art

"Art gives wings and takes you far - far!" -
said the writer

How nice it would be if someone created a device that would show the degree of influence of art on a person, society as a whole, and even on nature. How do painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, the quality of his life? Can this impact be measured and predicted? Of course, culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is capable, when choosing the right direction and priorities of life, to have a beneficial effect on both an individual and society as a whole.

Art is the creative comprehension of the surrounding world by a talented person. The fruits of this understanding belong not only to its creators, but to all of humanity living on planet Earth.

Immortal are the beautiful creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Raphael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarch, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. It captures the spirit when you try to grasp with your mind everything created by geniuses, preserved and continued by their descendants and followers.

In a primitive society, it is born with a view as a way of human activity for solving practical problems. Arising in the era , reached its heyday about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodying a new stage in the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as the shell necklace found in South Africa, date back to 75 millennium BC. NS. and more. In the Stone Age, art was represented by primitive rituals, music, dances, all kinds of body decorations, geoglyphs - images on the ground, dendrographs - images on the bark of trees, images on animal skins, cave paintings, rock paintings, and sculpture.

The emergence of art is associated with, and, including conditioned - representations.

Now the word "art" is often used in its original, very broad meaning. This is any skill in the implementation of any tasks, requiring some kind of perfection in its results. In a narrower sense of the word, this is creativity "according to the laws of beauty." Works of art, like works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". A work of art, like all other types of social consciousness, is always the unity of the object cognizable in it and the subject cognizing this object.

In a primitive, pre-class society, art as a special kind of social consciousness did not yet exist independently. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about a past life, with primitive geographical concepts, with moral requirements.

And then art stood out among them in a special specific kind of it. It has become one of the forms of development of social consciousness of various peoples. This is how it should be viewed.

Thus, art is a kind of social consciousness, it is an artistic content, not a scientific one. L. Tolstoy, for example, defined art as a means of exchange of feelings, opposing it with science as a means of exchange of thoughts.

Art is often compared to a reflecting mirror that reflects reality through the thoughts and feelings of the creator. Through him, this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the artist's attention, excited him.

Here one can rightfully see one of the most important specific features of art as a type of human activity.

Any product of labor - be it a tool, tool, machine, or means of maintaining life - is created for some special need. Even such products of spiritual production as scientific research may well remain accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, without losing anything in their social significance.

But a work of art can be recognized as such only on condition of universality, "general interest" of its content. The artist is called upon to express something that is equally important for both the driver and the scientist, which is applicable to their life, not only to the extent of the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the extent of their involvement in public life, the ability to be a human being, to be a person.

2.2. Kinds of art

Depending on the material means with which works of art are constructed, three groups of art forms objectively arise: 1) spatial, or plastic (painting, sculpture, graphics, art photography, architecture, arts and crafts and design), i.e. those who unfold their images in space; 2) temporary (verbal and musical), that is, those where images are built in time, and not in real space; 3) spatio-temporal (dance; acting and everything based on it; synthetic - theater, cinema, television, circus, etc.), that is, those whose images have both length and duration, corporeality and dynamism. Each type of art is directly characterized by the way of material existence of its works and the type of figurative signs used. Within these limits, all its types have varieties, which are determined by the characteristics of this or that material and the originality of the artistic language that follows from this.

So, the varieties of verbal art are oral creativity and written literature; varieties of music - vocal and different types of instrumental music; varieties of performing arts - dramatic, musical, puppet, shadow theater, as well as stage and circus; types of dance - everyday dance, classical, acrobatic, gymnastic, ice dance, etc.

On the other hand, each art form has generic and genre divisions. The criteria for these divisions are defined in different ways, but the very presence of such types of literature as epic, lyric, drama, such types of fine art as easel, monumental-decorative, miniature, such genres of painting as portrait, landscape, still life ...

Thus, art, taken as a whole, is a historically formed system of various concrete methods of artistic development of the world,

each of which has features common to all and individually unique.

2.3. Functions of art

Art has similarities and differences with other forms of social consciousness. Just like science, it objectively reflects reality, cognizes its important and essential aspects. But unlike science, which assimilates the world with the help of abstract theoretical thinking, art learns the world through figurative thinking. Reality appears in art as a whole, in the richness of its sensory manifestations.

Unlike science, artistic consciousness does not set itself the goal of giving any special information about private branches of social practice and revealing their regularities, such as physical, economic, etc. The subject of art is everything that is interesting for a person in life.

The goals that the author or creator deliberately and consciously sets for himself while working on a work have direction. This can be some kind of political goal, a commentary on social status, the creation of a certain mood or emotion, a psychological impact, an illustration of something, a promotion of a product (in the case of advertising), or simply the transmission of a certain message.

Means of communication. In its simplest form, art is a means of communication. Like most other means of communication, it carries the intention of conveying information to the audience. For example, scientific illustration is also an art form that exists to convey information. Another example of this kind is geographic maps. However, the content of the message is not necessarily scientific. Art allows you to convey not only objective information, but also emotions, mood, feelings.

Art as entertainment... The purpose of art can be to create a mood or emotion that helps you relax or have fun. Very often, cartoons or video games are created for this very purpose.

, art for political change. One of the defining goals of early 20th century art was the creation of works that provoke political change. The directions that have appeared for this purpose, -,, Russian, are collectively named.

Art for psychotherapy. Psychologists and psychotherapists can use art for medicinal purposes. A special technique based on the analysis of the patient's drawings is used to diagnose the state of the personality and emotional status. In this case, the ultimate goal is not diagnostics, but mental health.

Art for social protest, overthrow of the existing order and / or anarchy. As a form of protest, art may not have any specific political goal, but be limited to criticism of the existing regime or some of its aspects.

2.4. The role of art in human life

All arts serve the greatest of the arts - the art of living on earth.
Bertolt Brecht

Now it is impossible to imagine that ours would not be accompanied by art. Whenever and wherever he lived, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means that he sought to understand and figuratively, intelligibly pass on the knowledge gained to the next generations. This is how wall paintings appeared in caves - ancient human encampments. And this was born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes already passed by the ancestors, but the transmission of the beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.

Humanity did not mark time, it progressively moved forward and higher, and the art that accompanies a person at all stages of this long and painful path developed in the same way. If you turn to the Renaissance, you admire the heights reached by artists and poets, musicians and architects. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of man in the world, where he is destined to travel his short, but wonderful, sometimes tragic path.

Art is one of the most important stages in human evolution. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each epoch, with each century, it is more and more improved by man. At all times, art has helped people develop their abilities, improve abstract thinking. Over the centuries, people have tried to change art more and more, improve it, deepen their knowledge. Art is the great secret of the world, which contains the secrets of the history of our life. Art is our history. Sometimes in it you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today, a person can no longer imagine life without a novel he has read, without a new movie, without a premiere in the theater, without a fashion hit and a favorite musical group, without art exhibitions ... In art, a person finds new knowledge, answers to vital questions, and reassurance from the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoyment. A real work of art is always in tune with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel can talk about a distant historical era, about people, it seems, of a completely different way and style of life, but the feelings that people have been imbued with at all times are understandable to the current reader, consonant with him if the novel is written by a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet lived in Verona in ancient times. It is not the time and place of action that determines my perception of the great love and faithful friendship described by the brilliant Shakespeare.

Russia has not become a distant province of art. Even at the dawn of its emergence, she loudly and boldly declared her right to stand next to the greatest creators of Europe: "The Lay of Igor's Campaign", icons and paintings by Andrei Rublev and Theophanes the Greek, cathedrals of Vladimir, Kiev and Moscow. We are not only proud of the amazing proportions of the Church of the Intercession on Nerl and the Moscow Intercession Cathedral, better known as the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, but we also sacredly honor the names of its creators.

Ancient creations are not the only ones that grab our attention. We constantly come across works of art in our daily life. Visiting museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that wonderful world, which is accessible at first only to geniuses, and then to others, we learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has already become a part of our everyday life.

Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Eliminate all this from the life of a civilized person, and he will turn, if not into an animal, then into a robot or a zombie. The wealth of art is inexhaustible. It is impossible to visit all museums in the world, all symphonies, sonatas, operas cannot be listened to, all masterpieces of architecture cannot be reviewed, all novels, poems, and poems cannot be re-read. And to nothing. Know-it-alls are actually superficial people. Of all the diversity, a person chooses for the soul that which is closest to him, which gives the basis for his mind and feelings.

The possibilities of art are multifaceted. Art forms intellectual and moral qualities, stimulates creativity, and promotes successful socialization. In ancient Greece, the visual arts were considered as an effective means of influencing a person. The galleries exhibited sculptures that personified noble human qualities ("Mercy", "Justice", etc.). It was believed that, contemplating beautiful statues, a person absorbs all the best that they reflect. The same applies to the paintings of the great masters.

A group of researchers led by Professor Marina de Tommaso from the University of Bari, Italy, found that beautiful paintings can reduce pain, writes the Daily Telegraph today. Scientists hope that the new results will convince hospitals and hospitals to be more concerned with decorating patients' rooms.

In the course of the study, a group of people, both their men and their women, were asked to look at 300 paintings by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, as well as select 20 paintings from them that they find the most beautiful and most ugly. At the next stage, the subjects were shown these pictures or did not show anything, leaving a large black wall for pictures free, and simultaneously hit the participants with a short laser pulse comparable in strength to touching a hot frying pan. It has been found that when people see pictures they like, pain is three times less intense than when they are forced to look at an ugly picture or a black wall.

Not only children, but often adults too, are unable to cope with their emotions. We live according to the rules, we force ourselves with constant "It is necessary, necessary, necessary ...", forgetting about our desires. Because of this, an internal discontent arises, which a person, being a social being, tries to keep in himself. As a result, the body suffers, because a negative emotional state often leads to various diseases. Creativity in this case helps to relieve emotional stress, harmonize the inner world and achieve mutual understanding with others. Of course, this can be not only drawing, but also applications, embroidery, photography, modeling from matches, prose, poetry and much more, one way or another related to art.

The question of how literature affects a person, his behavior and psyche, what mechanisms lead to peculiar experiences and, as a consequence, to a change in a person's personality characteristics when reading a literary work, has occupied the minds of many scientists and researchers from ancient times to the present. Fiction, giving knowledge of reality, expands the mental horizons of readers of all ages, gives an emotional experience that goes beyond what a person could acquire in his life, forms artistic taste, delivers aesthetic pleasure, which occupies a large place in the life of a modern person and is one of his needs. But most importantly, the main function of fiction is the formation of deep and stable feelings in people, prompting them to think through, define their worldview, direct behavior personality.

Literature is for people a school of feelings and cognition of reality and forms an idea about the ideal actions of people, about the beauty of the world and relationships. The Word is a great mystery. Its magical power lies in the ability to evoke vivid images, to transport the reader to another world. Without literature, we would never have learned that once upon a time there lived a wonderful person and writer Victor Hugo or, for example, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. We would not know anything about the time when they lived. Thanks to literature, we become more educated, we learn the history of our ancestors.

The influence of music on a person is great. A person hears sound not only with his ears; he hears the sound with every part of his body. Sound permeates his entire being, and in accordance with a certain influence slows down or accelerates the rhythm of blood circulation; either excites the nervous system or calms it down; awakens in a person stronger passions or pacifies him, bringing him peace. A certain effect is produced according to the sound. Therefore, knowledge of sound can provide a person with a magical tool for directing, tuning, controlling and using life, as well as helping other people with the greatest benefit. It is no secret that art can heal.

Isotherapy, dance therapy, music therapy are already common truths.

The scientist Robert Schofler, the creator of musical pharmacology, prescribes to listen to all the symphonies of Tchaikovsky, Schubert's "Forest Tsar", Beethoven's ode "To Joy" for therapeutic purposes. He claims that these works contribute to an accelerated recovery. And researchers at the University of California have experimentally proved that after 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's music, tests showed an increase in the intelligence quotient of students by 8-9 units.

But not all art heals.

For example: Rock music - causes the release of stress hormones, which erase some of the information in the brain, cause aggression or depression. Russian psychologist D. Azarov notes that there is a special combination of notes, he called them killer music. Having listened to such musical phrases several times, a person has a gloomy mood and thoughts.

Bell ringing kills quickly:

typhoid bacteria

viruses.

Classical music (Mozart and others) contributes to:

general reassurance

increase in milk excretion (by 20%) in nursing mothers.

 The rhythmic sounds of some performers, through a direct effect on the brain, contribute to:

release of stress hormones

memory impairment

weakening (after 1-2 years) of the general condition (especially when listening to music with headphones).

Mantra, or meditative sounds "om", "aum", etc., have a vibrating character.
Vibrations initially promote the activation of certain organs, brain structures. At the same time, many different hormones are released into the blood. (This probably helps to do monotonous work with less energy).

Vibrating sounds cause

pleasure - for some people, for others - the same sounds cause

stress reaction with the release of hormones and a sharp increase in oxidative metabolism.

• contributes to a sharp rise in blood pressure,

  often leading to heart cramps.

In the literary sources of antiquity, we find many examples of the purposeful influence of music on the mental state of people. Plutarch says that Alexander the Great's fits of frenzied anger were usually pacified by playing the lyre. The mighty Achilles, according to Homer, tried, playing the lyre, to cool his "famous" anger, which begins the action in the Iliad.

It was believed that music saves from inevitable death when bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions. As an antidote in these cases, music was widely recommended by one of the most famous physicians of Ancient Rome, Galen. Nirkus, a companion of Alexander the Great on his campaigns, having visited India, said that in this country, teeming with poisonous snakes, singing is considered the only remedy for their bites. How can we explain the miraculous effect of music? Studies of our time have shown that music in such cases acts not as an antidote, but as a means of eliminating mental trauma, it helps the victim to suppress the feeling of horror. This is just one example when the health and even life of a person largely depends on his state of mind. But even this particular example allows one to judge how great the role of the nervous system in the body is. It must be taken into account when explaining the mechanism of the impact of art means on human health.

Even more striking is the effect of music on emotions. The influence of music on emotions was known in ancient times. Music was used for medicinal purposes and in war. Music acts both as a means of distracting from thoughts that disturb a person, and as a means of calming and even healing. Music plays a great role as a means of fighting overwork. Music can set a certain rhythm before starting work, tune in to deep rest during a break.

Art makes the world of people more beautiful, lively and vibrant. For example, painting: how many old paintings have survived to our time, by which it is possible to determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings written by our contemporaries, and whatever it is: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, painting is a wonderful art, with the help of which a person has learned to see the world bright and colorful.
Architecture is another of the most important forms of art. A huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered all over the world, and they are not just called "monuments" - they contain the greatest secrets of history and the memory of them. Sometimes these mysteries cannot be solved by scientists all over the world.
Of course, in order to perceive the beauty of opera, for example, it is necessary to know its features, to understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers convey all the shades of life and feelings and affect the thoughts and emotions of the audience. The perception of poetry and the visual arts also requires some preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not developed a technique of expressive reading, if he will spend all his energy on composing words from the sounds spoken and will not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.

The effect of the means of art on a person can be caused by a long-term or long-term one. This emphasizes the great possibilities for using art in order to obtain a persistent and long-lasting effect, using it for educational purposes, as well as for general health improvement and prevention. Art acts not on any one human ability and strength, be it emotion or intellect, but on a person as a whole. It forms, sometimes unaccountably, the very system of human attitudes.

The artistic genius of the famous poster by D. Moor "Have you signed up as a volunteer?" Those. the power of art consists in appealing to the human conscience, awakening its spiritual abilities. And on this occasion, you can cite the famous words of Pushkin:

Burn the hearts of people with the verb.

It seems that this is the true purpose of art.

2.5 Life is short, art is eternal.

Art is eternal and beautiful, because it brings beauty and goodness to the world.

A person is presented with very strict requirements and art must reflect these requirements. Artists of classicism were equal to classical samples. It was believed that the eternal is unchanging - therefore, one must learn from the Greek and Roman authors. Knights, kings, dukes very often become heroes. They were convinced that truth creates beauty in art - therefore, the writer must imitate nature and portray life believably. Rigid canons of the theory of classicism appear. The expert on art Boileau writes: "The incredible is not capable of touching, even if the truth always looks believable." The writers of classicism approached life from the standpoint of reason, they did not trust the feeling, they considered it changeable and deceitful. Accurate, reasonable, truthful and beautiful. "You need to think about the thought and only then write."

Art does not become obsolete. In the book of the academician philosopher I.T. Frolov wrote: “The reason for this is the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character, which is ultimately conditioned by the constant appeal to man. The unique unity of man and the world in a work of art, "human reality". The renowned Danish physicist Niels Bohr wrote: "The reason why art can enrich us is its ability to remind us of harmonies beyond the reach of systematic analysis." In art, problems are often highlighted for all mankind, "eternal": what is good and evil, freedom, human dignity. The changing conditions of each era force us to solve these issues anew.

Art is multifaceted, eternal, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental exertion, a certain work of thought. A person must want to learn to see and understand beauty, then art will have a beneficial effect on him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works are capable of influencing millions, and this can be beneficial or detrimental.

Let me give you a simple example. For example, an artist painted a picture. The painting depicts negative scenes of murder, everywhere there is blood, dirt, the most chaotic, harsh tones are used, in short, the whole picture acts depressingly on the viewer, causing negative emotions in a person. The energy comes from the picture is extremely depressing. So much for the complete interconnection of the artist's thinking with the physical creation of the picture and, accordingly, the viewer or spectators looking at it ... Imagine thousands, tens of thousands of such depressing pictures. The same can be said about our cinema. What cartoons do our children watch, not to mention adult films? And in general, now there is not even such a prohibition "Up to 16" as in the 70s. Continuous "negativism" ... Imagine how much negative energy in the country, in the world, on the whole Earth! .. The same can be said about all types of our art!
“Thinking together with action brings about change. If they are noble, then they liberate, save, promote prosperity. enrich. If they are base, then they enslave, impoverish, weaken, destroy. If the propaganda of violence, the cult of strength, evil steps on our screens, we will perish after the unlucky heroes of these one-day militants.

True art should be beautiful, have a kind, humane beginning with age-old traditions.

3. Conclusion.

Art plays a vital role in our lives, helping future generations to grow morally. Each generation contributes to the development of humanity, enriching it culturally. Without art, we would hardly be able to look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, look beyond the ordinary, feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small veins, blood vessels, organs.

Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, fears - everything that each person lives with - acquire a special color and strength.

It is impossible for everyone to be creators, but it is within our power to try to penetrate into the essence of the creation of a genius, to come closer to understanding the beautiful. And the more often we become contemplators of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners to beautiful music, the better for us and those around us.

Art helps us to master science and gradually deepen our knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:

Forms in a person the ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beauty in the surrounding reality and art,

Forms the skills of using the means of art to understand the life of people, nature itself;

Develops a deep understanding of the beauty of nature, the surrounding world. the ability to preserve this beauty;

Develops creativity, abilities and skills to feel and create beauty in the surrounding life, at home, in everyday life;

So, art affects our life from all sides, makes it diverse and vibrant, lively and interesting, rich, helping a person to better and better understand his purpose in this world. Our earthly world is woven from perfection and imperfection. And it depends only on the person himself how he will make his future, what he will read, what he will listen to, how he will speak.

“The best means for educating feelings in general, for awakening the feelings of beauty, for the development of creative imagination, is art itself,” the scientist-psychologist N.Ye. Rumyantsev.
