The Values of art

What is the meaning of art?  Art can express not only our feelings and emotions but also stimulate our imagination and creativity. Even science, technology and business cannot develop without such things.  

For example, George Takei shared on his Facebook post, showing a lot of current gadgets which are similar to gadgets which appeared on the showStar Trek’. Probably, inventors watched Star Trek and they were inspired and invented actual gadgets. This is a typical example of how art can influence actual practical inventions.

We need  imagination and creativity to invent something, not only gadgets, but new technologies and creative business plans as well. This is the one value of art in society.

Another value of art is personal mental value.  Art can express our emotions and feelings that we face. If we cannot express or feel such things, our mentality would be paralyzed or go insane. This sublimation effect  is another important value of art.

Thus, we cannot downplay the value of art. We should put much more value on art from now on.
