Art

            I value art very much because it is a way to express things that would otherwise be difficult to explain to the world.  We draw, paint, sing, and dance to express not only who we are, but what we want to become.  While taking a look at art from different time periods, such as that of the black plague era, I could see the emotions felt by so many people.  The paintings of that time were sad and sadistic, depicting people burning along with satanic images of women and children infected with some unseen killer.  Similarly, during the Renaissance Movement in Europe, the paintings depict good times when goods were cheap and easy to come by.  They show things such as children happily playing, colleges and other places of study flourishing in the great time period.  These things do not just apply to paintings although they are the most common works seen.  I strongly believe that art should be something that we all value in life.
