ART FORMS

Arts existed from the dawn of time even before languages existed. Early men used arts to convey messages through which we still keep finding in caves and help us understand their lives thousands of years ago. Even after language evolved  not all things can be expressed  through language.

Art was and is still used to express feelings no language can ever do. Art is of different shapes and forms. It depends on people and how they view art. Drawings always has been the centre of attraction of Art. There are a lot of famous painters in history who were very talented in conveying what they had in mind through their paintings which holds great value as of today.

Sculptures also existed for a very long time. Sculptures are done for various needs and purposes. Mostly sculptures are made to depict Gods, Leaders, Unity, Freedom, etc., Particularly in Indian sculptures most can be seen in temples depicting Gods and are also made to honour leaders of the nation.

Another form of art is dancing. Dancing is not just jumping around but selected sequential movements made by the human body to express themselves. The dance has a symbolic value to them which also differs from one culture to another. Each type of dance holds significant values to people and observers in that particular culture.

Another form of art is Literature. Literature is nothing but words being used to express feelings at the best. Literature are written works particularly those that holds everlasting artistic value.

Yet another form is music. Music is basically a mixture and combination of vocal, instrumental vibrations made in an expressive way. Most consider music as the universal art as it appeals to people from all walks of life. Every culture and community has their own genre of music.
