Purpose of the Arts (can be used as topic sentences)

1. Art is a product of human activity that enables the spontaneous stimulation of the human mind, its abstract nature provokes the thought and invoke certain emotions and feelings towards the piece of Art.

Eg: The portrait done in the 1920s depicting a naked man masturbating done in blue charcoal and Tate Modern set the arts arena ablazed with controversies and anger, as to whether this is in fact Art or mere intention to arouse and satisfy the sexual desires and urges of women, and even some men.

Pablo Picasso's Guernica depicted the ills of war from a first-person perspective.

2. Art provides an avenue for creative self-expression of the artist and enables one to see the world from a different perspective.

Eg. Eric Fischl drew Tumbling Woman, showing the exact scene when a woman was jumping off the World Trade Centre during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack.

3. Art gives a valuable opportunities for artists to bring across a message or a hidden meaning behind the actual picture being portrayed, otherwise known as propaganda.

Eg. Jack Neo's I not Stupid depicted the actual situation and state of Singaporean culture, education, political arena which will be considered taboo and illegal if voiced out publicly. Royston Tan used his Internationally Acclaimed 8-time Award Winning Production, Cut, to illustrate and mock the Singapore Censorship Board of the rigid censorship laws and censors done to the media industry.

4. Art shows a scenario to depict the beauty of Nature and our surroundings, done with vibrant colours and showcasing it to people who has never experienced it before.

Eg. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa
