ART

In fact art is everywhere: when we see a child with a box of crayons, when we decorate our home with pictures, when we read books, watch TV, visit art galleries or listen to music while walking along the street. Most people will agree that art is something that is beautiful or unusual, that makes us think, has a great influence on our souls, feelings and moral values. Art develops imagination and good taste. Art has no language time or distance barriers. The language of art is universal as it shows us people's dreams, hopes and fears. Art can say what cannot be said. 

The traditional arts include literature, music, dance, theatre, painting and drawing, sculpting and architecture. New forms of art have emerged in the 20th century: cinema, photography, collage, installation, graffity, design, comics and video. 

Art is linked to our history and reflects modern life and people's ideals.  (Сергиенко, Н.А. Topics for your English exam and everyday studies.
