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
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
“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
