2.1. Art

"Art gives wings and takes away far away!" -
said the writer

As it would be good if someone had created a device that would show the degree of influence of art per person, society as a whole, and even in nature. As painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, on the quality of his life? Is it possible to measure and predict such an effect? Of course, the culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is able to choose the right direction and priorities of life to be beneficially influenced both on a separate person and society as a whole.

Art is a creative understanding of the world around the world with a talented man. The fruits of this reflection belong not only to its creators, but all mankind living on the planet Earth.

Lovely creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Rafael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarki, Mozart, Baha, Tchaikovsky are immortal. The Spirit captures when you try to cover everything with geniuses, saved and continued by the descendants and followers.

In primitive society, it is born overlooking as a way of human activity to solve practical problems. Arriving in the epoch , It has reached a heyday about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodied the new stage of the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as a necklace from the shells found in South Africa, are dating 75 millennium BC. e. and more. In the Stone Age, art was represented by primitive rites, music, dancing, all sorts of decorations of the body, geoglyphs - images on Earth, dendrographs - images on the crust of trees, images on animal skins, cave painting, rock paintings, and sculpture.

The appearance of art is associated with, and, among other things, due - ideas.

Now the word "art" is often used in its initial, very wide value. This is all skill in the implementation of any tasks requiring some perfection of its results. In the more narrow meaning of the word, the creativity "according to the laws of beauty". Works of artistic creativity, like works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". The work of art, as well as all other types of public consciousness, is always the unity of the object in it and knows this object of the subject.

In primitive, professional society, art as a special kind of public consciousness has not yet existed on their own. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about past life, with primitive geographical ideas, with moral requirements.

And then the art was separated among them into a special specific variety. It has become one of the forms of the development of the social consciousness of various peoples. So it should be considered.

Thus, art is a kind of consciousness of society, it is artistic content, not scientific. L. Tolstoy, for example, identified art as a means of sharing feelings, opposing to him science as a means of sharing.

Art is often compared with the reflecting mirror reflecting reality through the thoughts and feelings of the Creator. Through it, in this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the attention of the artist, excited him.

Here, with full right, you can see one of the most important features of art as a type of human activity.

Any product of labor - whether it is an instrument, a tool, a car or means of maintaining life - is created for some special need. Even such spiritual production products as scientific research may well be accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, nothing at the same time, without losing in their social significance.

But the work of art can be recognized for this only under the condition of universality, "common interest" of its content. The artist is intended to express something that is equally important for the chauffeur, and for a scientist, that applies to their vital activity not only to measure the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the measure of involvement in common life, the ability to be a person, to be a person.

2.2. Kinds of art

Depending on the material tools, with the help of which artistic works are constructed, three groups of art types are objectively arising.: 1) Spatial, or plastic (painting, sculpture, graphics, art photography, architecture, decorative and applied and design), i.e. Such who deploy their images in space; 2) temporary (verbal and musical), i.e., such where the images are built in time, and not in real space; 3) Spatio-temporary (dance; acting art and all-based on it; synthetic - theater, cinema, televisionality, pop-circus, etc.), that is, such, the images of which are simultaneously lengthy and durability and physicity and dynamism. Each type of art is directly characterized by the method of material being of its works and the type of figurative signs. Under these limits, all its species have varieties that are determined by the peculiarities of a particular material and arising from here the originality of the artistic language.

Thus, the varieties of verbal art are oral creativity and written literature; Music varieties - vocal and different types of instrumental music; Scenic art varieties - dramatic, musical, doll, shadow theater, as well as pop and circus; Dance varieties - household dance, classic, acrobatic, gymnastics, ice dance, etc.

On the other hand, each type of art has a generic and genre division. The criteria for these divisions are determined in different ways, but apparently the very presence of such birth of literature, as an epos, lyrics, drama, such birth of visual art, like machine, monumental-decorative, miniature, such genres of painting, like a portrait, landscape, still life ...

Thus, the art taken as a whole is the historically established system of various specific ways of the artistic development of the world,

each of which has features common to all and individually peculiar.

2.3. Functions of art

Art has similarities and differences with other forms of public consciousness. Just like science, it objectively reflects the reality, knows its important and essential parties. But unlike the science that masters the world with the help of abstract-theoretical thinking, art will know the world by figurative thinking. Reality appears in the art holistically, in the wealth of its sensual manifestations.

Unlike science, artistic consciousness does not make a purpose to give any special information on the private sectors of public practice and identify their patterns, such as physical, economic, etc. The subject of art is all that there is an interesting person in life.

The goals that the author or the Creator intentionally deliberately puts himself, working on the work, has an orientation. It can be some kind of political goal, a comment of social status, creating a certain mood or emotion, psychological impact, an illustration of something, product promotion (in the case of advertising) or simply transmitting a certain message.

    Means of communication. In its simplest form, art is a means of communication. Like most other ways to communicate, it carries the intention to transfer the audience information. For example, a scientific illustration is also an art form that exists to transmit information. Another example of this kind is geographical maps. However, the content of the message is not necessarily scientific. Art allows you to transmit not only objective information, but also emotions, mood, feelings.

    Art as entertainment. The purpose of art can be the creation of such mood or emotion that helps relax or have fun. Very often it is for this purpose that creates cartoons or video games.

    , Art for the sake of political change. One of the decisive objectives of the art of the early XX century was the creation of works provoking political changes. Directions that appeared for this purpose - ,, Russian, are collectively referred to.

    Art for psychotherapy. Psychologists and psychotherapists can use art for medicinal purposes. Special technique based on the analysis of patient patterns is used to diagnose the state of the individual and emotional status. In this case, the ultimate goal is not a diagnosis, but the recovery of the psyche.

    Art for social protest, no wonder of the existing order and / or anarchy. As a protest form, art may not have any particular political goal, but to limitate the criticism of the existing regime or some of its aspects.

2.4. The role of art in human life

All kinds of arts serve the greatest art of art - the art of living on earth.
Bertolt Brecht

Now it is impossible to imagine that our art would not accompany. Where and whenever he lived, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means it was striving to understand and figuratively, intelligibly convey the knowledge gained the following generations. So there were wall drawings in the caves - the ancient becomes of man. And this is born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes passed by the ancestors, and the transfer of beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.

Humanity did not heat in place, it progressively moved forward and above, the art, accompanying a person at all stages of this long and painful path, developed. If you turn to the era of the Renaissance, you admire the heights that artists and poets reached, musicians and architects. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of a person in the world, where he is destined to pass his short, but beautiful, sometimes the tragic path.

Art is one of the most essential steps in the evolution of man. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each era, with each century it is becoming more and more improved by a person. At all times, art helped a person to develop his abilities, improve abstract thinking. Over the centuries, a man tried to change art stronger, improving him, deepen his knowledge. Art is a great mystery of the world in which the secrets of the history of our life are hidden. Art is our story. Sometimes you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today, a person can no longer imagine his life without her novel, without a new movie, without the premiere in the theater, without a fashionable hat and the beloved musical group, without art exhibitions ... In art, a person finds new knowledge and answers to vital issues, and calmness From everyday fuss, and pleasure. This work of art is always consonant with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel tells about the distant historical era, about people, quite, it seems, another way and lifestyle, but the feelings that people penetrated at all times are understandable to the current reader, consonant with him if the novel is written by a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet lived in Verona in distant times. Not time and not a place of action determines my perception of great love and faithful friendship described by genius Shakespeare.

Russia did not become a distant province of art. At the dawn of his appearance, she stated loudly and boldly about his right to stand next to the greatest creators of Europe: "The Word about the regiment of Igor", the icons and paintings of Andrei Rublev and Feofan Greek, the Cathedrals of Vladimir, Kiev and Moscow. We are not only proud of the amazing proportions of the church of the Intercession on the non-Rley and the Moscow Pokrovsky Cathedral, more famous for the name of the Temple of Basil Blessed, but also holy honor of the creators.

Not only ancient creations attract our attention. We are constantly faced with works of art in everyday life. Visiting the museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that beautiful world, which is available at the beginning only a genius, and then the rest, learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has become part of and our usual life.

Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person with any incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Exclude it all from the life of a civilized person, and it will turn if not in the animal, then in a robot or zombie. The riches of art are inexhaustible. In all the museums of the world it is impossible to visit, all the symphonies, sonates, the operas do not listen, all the masterpieces of architecture do not reconsider, all the novels, poems, verses do not re-read. Yes, and nothing. Vesseniki actually turn out to be superficial people. From the whole manifold, a person chooses for the soul that he is closest, which gives the soil of his mind and feelings.

The possibilities of art multifaceted. Art forms intelligent and moral qualities, stimulates creative abilities, promotes successful socialization. In ancient Greece, the visual arts were considered as an effective means of influencing a person. In the galleries, the sculptures were exposed to personify noble human qualities ("Mercy", "Justice", etc.). It was believed that, contemplating wonderful sculptures, a person absorbs all the best that they reflect. The same applies to the paintings of great masters.

A group of researchers under the guidance of Professor Marina de Tommaso from the University of Bari Italy, found that beautiful paintings can reduce pain, writes today Daily Telegraph. Scientists hope that new results will kill hospitals and hospitals care more about decorating the premises in which patients are located.

In the course of the study, a group of people consisting of both their men and their women, asked to see 300 paintings of such masters as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, as well as select 20 paintings from them, which they find the most beautiful and most ugly. At the next stage, the subjects showed these pictures or did not show anything, leaving a large black wall for pictures free, and at the same time hit the participants with a short laser pulse, comparable to the strength with a touch of a chipped frying pan. It was found that when people watch the paintings that they like, pain feels three times less intensively than in cases where they are forced to look at ugly paintings or a black wall.

Not only children, but often adults are not able to cope with their emotions. We live according to the rules, we see themselves constant "you need, you need, you need ...", forgetting about our desires. Because of this, there is an internal discontent, which a man, being a public creature, is trying to keep in himself. As a result, the body suffers, because a negative emotional state often leads to various diseases. Creativity in this case helps to remove emotional tension, harmonize the inner world and achieve mutual understanding with others. Of course, it may be not only drawing, but also appliques, embroidery, photographing, modeling from matches, prose, poetry and more, anyway relating to art.

The question of how literature affects a person, his behavior and psyche, which mechanisms lead to peculiar experiences and, as a result, to change the personal characteristics of a person with reading a literary work, occupied the minds of many scientists and researchers from ancient times to the present. Artistic literature, giving knowledge of reality, expands the mental horizon of readers of all ages, gives an emotional experience going beyond what could buy a person in his life, forms an artistic taste, delivers aesthetic pleasure, which in the life of a modern man occupies a great place and is One of his needs. But the most important thing is the main function of fiction - this is the formation of deep and sustainable feelings in people who encourage them to think through, determine their worldview, to send behavior personality.

Literature is for people of the school of feelings and knowledge of reality and forms an idea of \u200b\u200bthe ideal actions of people, the beauty of the world and relationships. The word is a great mystery. His magical power lies in the ability to cause bright images, to transfer the reader to another world. Without literature, we would never know that once a wonderful person and writer Viktor Hugo or, for example, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin lived in the world. We would not know anything about the time when they lived. Thanks to the literature, we become educated, learn the story of our ancestors.

Great influence of music per person. Man hears the sound not only ears; He hears the sound of each sometimes his body. The sound impresses all its being, and in accordance with certain influence slows down or accelerates blood circulation rhythm; either excites the nervous system or soothes it; Wars in a person stronger passion or pacifies him, bringing peace. In accordance with the sound, a certain effect is performed. Therefore, sound knowledge can give a man a magic tool for managing, settings, control and life use, as well as help to other people with the greatest benefit. It is not a secret that art can be treated.

Isotherapy, dance therapy, music treatment is already capital truths.

Creator of Music Pharmacology Scientific Robert Schofler prescribes with therapeutic purpose to listen to all the symphones of Tchaikovsky, the "Forest King" of Schubert, the ODU "to the joy" of Beethoven. He claims that these works contribute to accelerated recovery. And the University of California Researchers experimentally proved that after 10 minutes listening to Mozart's music tests showed an increase in the intellectuality coefficient among students on 8-9 units.

But not all art treats.

For example: Rock Music - causes the selection of stress harmonies, which erase some of the information in the brain, cause aggression or depression. Russian psychologist D. Azarov notes that there is a special combination of notes, he called them a murderer., Listening to such musical phrases several times, a man's mood and thought appears in humans.

The bell ringing quickly kills:

    typhoid bacteria

    viruses.

Classical music (Mozart et al.) Promotes:

    general soothing

    increasing milk release (by 20%) in nursing mothers.

Rhythmic sounds of some performers at the expense of direct impact on the brain contribute:

    emission stress hormones

    worsening memory

    weakened (after 1-2 years) of the general condition (especially when listening to music in headphones).

Mantra, or meditative sounds "OM", "AUM", etc., have a vibrant character.
Vibrations initially contribute to the activation of certain organs, brain structures. At the same time, many different hormones are thrown into the blood. (Probably it helps to perform monotonous work with less energy costs).

Vibrating sounds cause

    pleasure - in some people, others - the same sounds cause

    stressing reaction with emission of hormones and a sharp increase in oxidative metabolism.

    • contributes to a sharp rise in blood pressure,

      often leading to cardiac spasms.

In the literary sources of antiquity we find a lot of examples of the focused impact of music on the mental state of people. Plutarch says that the attacks of a mad anger at Alexander Macedonian usually doubted the game on Lira. Mighty Achill, according to Homer, tried, playing on Lira, cooling his "famous" anger from which the action in "Iliad" begins.

It was the opinion that music saves from an imminent death in the bite of poisonous snakes and scorpions. As an antidote, in these cases, the music was widely recommended one of the most famous doctors of the ancient Rome Galen. Nirkkus, the satellite of Alexander Macedonsky in his campaigns, having visited India, said that in this country, abundant snakes, singing consider the only means from their bites. What explain to the miraculous impact of music? Studies of our time have shown that music in such cases does not act as an antidote, but as a means of eliminating mental injury, it helps the victim to suppress the feeling of horror. This is just one of the examples when health and even a person's life in many ways depend on his mental state. But this separate example allows us to judge how great the role of the nervous system in the body is. It must be taken into account when explaining the mechanism of impact of art to the health of people.

Even more striking the action of music on emotions. On the influence of music on emotions, they also knew in antiquity. Music used for medicinal purposes, and in war. Music acts as a means for distinguishing from disturbing human thoughts, and as a means of soothing and even treatment. Music plays great importance as a means of combating overwork. Music can set a certain rhythm before starting work, tune in deep rest during a break.

Art makes the world of people more beautiful, alive and bright. For example, painting: how much to our time it reached the old paintings, for which you can determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings written by our contemporaries, and whatever: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, - painting is a wonderful art, with which a person learned to see the world bright and colorful.
Architecture is another of the most important types of art. Around the world, a huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered, and they are not simply called "monuments" - they contain the greatest secrets of history and memory of them. Sometimes these secrets cannot solve scientists around the world.
Of course, to perceive the beauty of the Opera Art, for example, it is necessary to know its features, to understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers transmit all shades of life and feelings and affect the thoughts and emotions of the listeners. The perception of poetry and visual art also requires a certain preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not been developed by the technique of expressive reading, if he will spend all its energy to draw up words from pronounced sounds and will not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.

The effect of art equipment per person can be caused long-term or promising. This emphasizes great opportunities for the use of art in order to obtain a persistent and long-term effect, applying it for educational purposes, as well as for the purpose of general recovery and prevention. Art acts not on one human ability and strength, be it emotion or intelligence, but per person in general. It forms, sometimes valid, the system of human plants itself.

The artistic genius of the famous poster D. Motor "You wrote down by a volunteer?", Which is so widely promoted in the days of World War II, in the same time that he appears to human conscience through all human spiritual abilities. Those. The force of art is to appeal to the human conscience, to awaken his spiritual abilities. And on this occasion you can bring the famous words of Pushkin:

Glagol Loggy hearts of people.

It seems that this is the true purpose of art.

2.5. Cork, art-forever.

Art is forever and beautiful because it carries beauty and good to the world.

A person is presented to very strict requirements and art should reflect these requirements. Artists of classicism were equal to classic samples. It was believed that eternal - invariably - therefore it is necessary to learn from the Greek and Roman authors. The heroes are very often the knights, kings, dukes. They were convinced that beauty in art creates the truth - therefore the writer must imitate nature and depict the life is believable. There are hard canons of classicism theory. The sophisticated Baual writes: "It is not capable of incredible to tight, let the truth looks always plausible." Classicism writers approached the life from the position of the mind, they did not trust the feeling, they considered him a changeable and false. For sure, reasonably, truthfully and beautiful. "To think about the thought and only then write."

Art does not obsole. In the book of Academician Philosopher I.T. Frolova is written: "The reason for this is in the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character, due to the ultimately constant handling of man. The unique unity of man and peace in the work of art, "Human reality". The famous Danish physicist Nils Bor wrote: "The reason why art can enrich us, is to remind us of harmonies missed for systematic analysis." In art, the problems of universal, "eternal" are often covered: what is good and evil, freedom, the dignity of man. Changing conditions for each epoch make these questions re-decide.

The art of Multico, forever, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental tension, a certain work of thought. A person should want to learn to see and understand the beautiful, then art will be beneficial to him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works are able to influence millions, and it can be beneficial or disastrous.

I will give a simple example. For example, the artist wrote a picture. The picture shows the negative scenes of the murder, everywhere blood, dirt, applied the shortest, sharp tones, in short, the whole picture acts oppressingly to the viewer, causing negative emotions in man. Energy comes from the picture extremely depressing. Here is the complete relationship of the artist's thinking with the physical creation of the painting and, accordingly, looking at her with a viewer or spectators ... And imagine thousands, tens of thousands of such depressing paintings. The same can be said about our cinema. What cartoons are looking at our children, not to mention adult films? In general, now there is not even such a ban on "up to 16" as in the 70s. Solid "negative" ... Imagine how many negative energy in the country, in the world, on the whole earth! .. The same can be said about all kinds of our art!
"Thought together with actions lead to change. If they are noble, they will be released, save, contribute to the flourishing. enrich. If they are low, they enslave, impoverish, relax, destroy. If our screens step up propaganda violence, a cult of power, evil, we will die after the unlucky heroes of these one-day-militants.

True art should be fine, have a good, humane beginning with centuries-old traditions.

3. Conclusion.

Art plays a crucial role in our lives, helping to morally grow future generations. Each generation contributes to the development of humanity, culturally enriching it. Do not be art, we could hardly look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, look beyond the founded, feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small streams, blood vessels, organs.

Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, concerns - everything that every person lives - acquire in a special color and strength.

Everyone is impossible to be creators, but try to penetrate the essence of the creation of a genius, approach the understanding of the beautiful - in our power. And the more often we become contemplateers of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners of excellent music, the better for us and others.

Art helps us to master science and gradually deepen your knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:

Forms a person's ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beautiful in the surrounding reality and art,

Forms skills to use art tools for the knowledge of the life of people, nature itself;

Developing a deep understanding of the beauty of nature, the surrounding world. Abilities take care of this beauty;

Arums people with knowledge, and also instills skills in the field of available arts - music, painting, theater, artistic words, architecture;

Develops creative abilities, skills and skills to feel and create beauty in the surrounding life, at home, in everyday life;

Develops an understanding of beauty in human relations, desire and ability to make beauty in life.

So, art affects our life from all sides, makes it a variety of and bright, lively and interesting, saturated, helping a person getting better and better to understand its destination in this world. Our earthly world is worn out of perfection and imperfection. And only from the person himself depends on how he will make his future that it will be to read what to listen to how to talk.

"The best tool to educate feelings in general, for the awakening of the feelings of beauty, for the development of creative imagination, is the art itself," said the psychologist N.E. Rumyantsev.

Art existed since ancient times. It accompanied the person throughout its existence. The first manifestations of the art were completely primitive drawings on the walls of the caves made by primitive people. Even when every day it was necessary to fight for his life, a man stretched to art, then a love for the beautiful appeared.

Nowadays there are many different types of art. These are literature, musical and visual art, etc .. Now the natural talent of man is combined with the latest technologies, creating fundamentally new directions in art. Of course, before there was no such opportunity, as in our time, but every artist sought to come up with something special, contribute to the development of this type of art.

And yet, why do we attach such great importance to art? What role does it play in a person's life? The figurative recreation of reality creates our identity. Cultural and spiritual development has a great influence on our lives. At most cases, people are not evaluated in appearance, but by what they are inside. A person with a very unattractive appearance may be beautiful, it is worth only to get acquainted with him closer. Comprehensively developed, rich spiritually people have always caused interest among others, it is interesting and pleasant to communicate with them. We all have to develop, self-improvement, and art helps us in this difficult business. It helps to know the world around the world and themselves.

Cognition yourself is one of the most important stages of the formation of a human person. Often art is a way to assert, say something to the whole world. This is as a message to the future, a kind of appeal to the people. Each artwork has its own goal: to get acquainted, teach, induce to reflections. Art requires understanding. Thoughtless contemplation of paintings or reading books of great masters does not make any sense. It is necessary to understand what exactly the artist wanted to say, for what purpose this or that creation appeared. Only on this condition the art will fulfill its task, teach us something.

It is often said that in our time people almost ceased to be interested in art. I think it is not. Times change, generations change. Do not remain unchanged and looks, tastes. But there are topics that will be relevant at all times. Of course, our society attaches more importance to material enrichment than spiritual. But this does not mean that people do not pay attention to cultural life, do not appreciate art. We should not forget about art, because it plays an important role in our lives.

Art is an integral part of the individual activity. With the help of him he knows the world, resting and creates something new. The role and importance of art in human life can not be underestimated. Without it, it would be almost impossible to exist. This is a kind of foundation for further discoveries.

What is art

This is creative activity that allows a person to implement his inner world. You can create with sounds, dances, drawings, words, colors, various natural materials, and so on. Art is one of the many forms of consciousness of reasonable creatures. It occurs due to the work of specific individuals, which affect topics, interesting not only to the author, but also to other people. Many are asked: "Does the art need a person?" The answer is definitely positive, because it is a way to know the world. Science is also one of the types of acquisition of knowledge from the surrounding reality. Art may be:

  • Craft. Any type of human activity is considered a creative process. Skill in some area: a sewing case, stitching beads, the creation of furniture and so on is considered to be art. After all, a person tries to convey his vision of the world in reality.
  • Cultural activity. People always sought for something beautiful. Creating something good, a person emphasizes his love and peacefulness.
  • Any expressive forms. With the development of society and aesthetic knowledge, art can be called absolutely any activity, which, with the help of special means, expresses some meaning.

This term is wide enough. If it is interpreted on the scale of all human society, this is a special means for knowledge or reflections of the world, spirituality and the consciousness of the individual. There is practically no man who could not give him an explanation. Listen to your inner world and determine what art is for you. After all, it is valuable for both a specific author and for all people as a whole. During the existence of humanity, a lot of artistic works have already been created, which can be admired and which will be able to inspire you on their own creative ideas.

History of the appearance of art

According to one of theories, for the first time a person began to engage in creativity during primitive society. Witnesses are fascinating inscriptions. These were the first mass kinds of art. They were applied mainly for practical application. About 40 thousand years ago, art became an independent way for the knowledge of the world. It was presented by various rites, musical compositions, choreography, wise decorations, images on the rocks, trees and skiing animals.

In the primitive world, art performed the information transfer function. People could not communicate with the help of the language, so they transferred information through creativity. Therefore, art for the people of those times was an integral part of the existence. To apply images, it was used objects from the surrounding world and various colors of them.

Art in the ancient world

It is in ancient civilizations, such as: Egypt, India, Rome and so on - the foundations of the creative process were laid. Already then people began to reflect on whether the art of man needs. Each developed center of civilization had his own unique style, which worried many centuries and did not change. At this time, the first works of artists have already begun to be created. The ancient Greeks portrayed the human body better than all. They could correctly depict the muscles, posture and observed the proportions of the body.

Art in middle ages

People of these times focused their gaze on the biblical plots and spiritual truths. In the middle eyelids, they no longer wondered about whether the art needs a person, because the answer was obvious. In painting or mosaic, a golden background was used, and people were depicted with perfect proportions and body shapes. Artistic of various kinds penetrated the sphere of architecture, a beautiful statue was built. People did not interest what real art, they simply created their own beautiful works. Some Islamic countries attributed divine power to such creations. The people from India used art for religious dances and sculptures. The Chinese preferred bronze sculptures, wood carving, poetics, calligraphy, music and picturesque drawings. The style of this nation has changed every era and wore the names of the ruling dynasties. In the XVII century in Japan, the wood engraving spread. For this time, people already knew what this art is. After all, it has already seriously influenced the education of a helpful person for society. And also served as a good rest and relaxation.

Renaissance and Modern World

Humanity returned to humanism and material values. This affected the development of art. Figures of people lost idealized forms. In these epochs, artists tried to show the universe and various ideas of that time. Interpretations of what "What Art" was already a lot. Creative people perceived it as a way to convey human individuality. Already by the XIX century, a lot of styles were formed, such as symbolism or fusism. However, in the 20th century, many scientific discoveries and developing technologies have happened. During this period, creative personalities were looking for new ways to display their inner world and reflecting modern beauty.

In the second half of the twentieth century, the direction of modernism was struck in art. People tried to find the truth and followed tough standards. During this period, a lot of painting critics appeared, which assumed that she was ended.

What art happens

In the modern world, the creative process reached unprecedented development. With the help of the worldwide Internet of different types, skill spreads at high speed. Art is as follows:

  • Entertainment art. It includes theaters, operas, circus, cinema and so on. With the help of visual perception, the authors convey their vision of the world and various events. Directors create movie strokes, which reflect the existing problems of the world. Many branches of art serve for a person entertainment, such as a circus.
  • Art. This sphere includes photography, painting, comics, sculptures and silent movies. The authors with the help of a static picture transmit nature, life of any people, the problems of humanity. Some movie refers to the dynamic type of art. In the modern world, this phenomenon has already lost its popularity.
  • Expressive art. People reflect their views in literature, create beautiful buildings. They also express the inner world in music and choreography. Most works rise global problems and malformations of humanity. Thanks to this, people are improving and go away from evil and challenge.

For creative self-expression, a man invented a lot of materials. Artists use paint, canvas, ink and so on. Architects - clay, iron, gypsum and so on. Thanks to modern ways to store information, a person can carry his creations to the electronic version. Already there are many musicians, artists, directors and writers who use a computer to create works of art.

Modern world and art

The creative sphere of life teaches the individual of true beauty, makes merciful and kinder. Art also teaches to look at simple things under a different perspective, most often positive. In all creations there is no one definite meaning, each person is looking for something in them. Also, everyone individually choose a type of activity. It may be painting, ballet or altogether classic literature. People, thanks to creativity, study compassion, sensitivity and emotionality. Everyday a person can coherent in a person, and art reminds what his wonderful world around can be. Many people feed on just positive energy from different author's work.

Since the small years, the individual is given love for creativity. Acquisition of children to art allows them to learn to understand literature, painting, architecture, music and much more. It grows out the person. However, there are cases when a person does not understand why art needs. This behavior is one of the stages of personality development, after him people have involuntary thrust for something new unknown. This allows you to expand the horizons, improve and form individual moral values. The most important thing is that creativity makes a person better.

How art affects the development of the person

A person is a creature that is formed with the help of its events and other opinions. Art occupies a special place in this process, it affects both a specific person and society as a whole. Thanks to him, a person has pleasant feelings, interesting thoughts, moral principles, and the development of contemporary art helps him in this. Life is almost unreal without this industry. She would be dry, and for personalities with a rich inner world, it was only in black and white paints. A special place in existence occupies fiction as art. It is capable of filling a person like a jar of water, life principles and views. Lion Tolstoy believed that spiritual beauty is able to save humanity. With the study of creativity of various authors, people become internally attractive.

In the visual art, a person tries to convey his point of view on the world around the world, sometimes from his imagination. After all, he cannot recreate what does not exist. Each image conveys a specific thought or a sense of the Creator. Man feeds on these artworks. If the message was kind, then the person will radiate positive emotions. Aggressive creativity generates negative feelings. In life, people should have positive thoughts and affairs, otherwise mankind threatens extinction. After all, if each of his surrounding will be desired by evil, then mass acts of violence and murders can begin.

Acquisition of children to art

Parents begin to engage in cultural education of their child practically from birth. The acquisition of children to art is an important part of raising a positive person. School age is considered the most favorable for the development of a cultural person. At this stage, schools are formed in a child with sympathy for classical works. In the lessons, they consider great artists, writers, musicians and their significant contribution to the culture of mankind. Already in the future, they will better perceive the work of various authors and not ask about what art needs. However, when children go into middle classes, the teachers do not pay due attention to the creativity. In this case, many parents send them to special art schools. In children, the ability to learn something new, interest in art, the ability to create and be a kind person. After all, artistic creations play a significant role in the development of a mature personality.

Art and literature

The word is an integral part of creativity. Thanks to him, you can very accurately transfer information, events, feelings, and so on. Artistic literature as art is able to convey to a man's widest spectrum of emotions and looks at life. Also, the imagination helps convey pictures of indescribable beauty. Thanks to the word, people may experience joy, experiences, condolences, sadness and so on. The text in the book something resembles an alternative reality.

Also, writers talk about their assumptions that relate to the future of humanity. There are a lot of popular anti-nightopy, reflecting at all a light future, for example: "On the wonderful new world" of Oldness Huxley, "1984" George Orwell. They serve a person a warning so that he does not forget to love and tried to appreciate everything he has. This fact shows why the art of negative literature is needed. After all, there are problems of people in such books: insane consumption, love for money, power, and so on. After all, these things do not bring happiness at all, and you need to do only with noble affairs and have the honor.

What is the art of photos and paintings

Almost every person loves to decorate the walls of his house with the works of artists or photographers. However, not everyone thought for what they hang there and how they affect the mood. Psychologists believe that images on the walls can affect a person. The picture affects the first place for the subconscious, and it is very important that it is color. Impact of the color of the images:

  • Orange color. He is able to create a warm and joyful feeling. However, some works can, on the contrary, annoy.
  • Red paintings. This is one of the most affecting colors on people. Healthy people he can feed passion and warmth. In patients with psychological disorders may appear aggression.
  • Green. This is the color of the whole plant world, which creates a sense of security and freshness in man.
  • Blue images. They are able to give peace of mind and some coolness. All light tones affect positively on the emotional state of the person.

Experts have already found out a long time ago that different colors of paintings and photographs can increase the mood, bring emotions in order and in some cases heal. However, some people still have the question of whether the art of images is needed. They can be observed in schools, kindergartens, educational institutions and in some jobs. Often these are pacifying landscapes, forests and portraits of some beautiful people.

1. Purpose of art.

The question is what role art plays in human life, as ancient, as well as the first attempts to its theoretical understanding. True, as notes Tovalovich L.N. At the very dawn of aesthetic thought, expressed sometimes in mythological form, in fact, there was no question. After all, our distant ancestor was confident that to patch the image of a real or drawn arrow - it means to provide a good hunt, to fulfill the warlike dance - it means for sure to defeat your enemies. Asks, what doubts could be in the practical effectiveness of the art, if it was organically woven into the practical life of people, it was urgently from the craft that did the world necessary for the existence of people and things that were associated with magical rites, thanks to which people sought to influence the surrounding their reality? Is it worth surprising their faith in the fact that Orpheus, to which an ancient Greek mythology attributes the invention of music and renovation, he could inclined the branches of trees, to move the stones and tighten the wild animals.

The world of artistic images, according to the conviction of the ancient thinkers and artists, "imitated" life, became an unfulfilled part of the true life of a person. Euripide, for example, wrote:

No, not abandoned, muses, your altar ...

There is no true life without art ...

But how does an amazing world of art affecting a person?

Already antique aesthetics sought to give answers to this question, but they were not unambiguous. Platon, which recognized only such works of art, which strengthen the moral foundations of the aristocratic state, emphasized the unity of the aesthetic effectiveness of art and its moral importance.

At the "imitation" of reality, according to Aristotle, the ability of art is based on a person and moral and aesthetic effects, forming the character of his feelings: "The habit of feeling sorry or joy when perceiving what imites reality, leads to what we begin to experience The same feelings and in a collision with reality. "

The history of artistic culture has captured a lot of cases when the perception of art served as a direct impulse to commit one or other actions to change the lifestyle. Having read the knightly novels, the poor Hidalgo Kehana turned into Don Quixote Laman and went on justice to the world. The image itself has become nominated since then has served as an example for imitation already in real life.

Thus, we see that the origins of art are in reality, but the work of art is a special world, imposing perception other than the perception of life reality. If the viewer, taking art for reality, is riveted to establish justice, physically straightening with the actor playing the villain, shoots the film screen or rushes into a picture with a knife, threatens the novelist, worrying for the fate of the Hero of the Roman, then all this is obvious symptoms or mental pathology in general, Or at least the pathology of art perception.

Art acts not on one human ability and strength, be it emotion or intelligence, but per person in general. It forms, sometimes valid, unconsciously the system of human installations, whose action will manifest itself sooner or later and often unpredictably, and not just aims to encourage a person to a particular action.

The artistic genius of the famous poster D. Motor "You wrote off a volunteer?", Which was so widely promoted in the days of World War II, in the fact that it is not limited to a rapid pragmatic task, but calls to human conscience through all human spiritual abilities. Those. The force of art is to appeal to the human conscience, to awaken his spiritual abilities. And on this occasion you can bring the famous words of Pushkin:

It seems that this is the true purpose of art.

Art does not obsole. In the book of Academician Philosopher I.T. Frolov "Perspectives of a person" contains reasoning about why art does not become obsolete. So, in particular, he notes: "The reason for this is the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character due to the ultimately constant handling of man. The unique unity of man and peace in the work of art, "Human reality", knowing them, deeply distinguish art from science not only according to the funds used, but also by the object itself, always correlated with the personality of the artist, his subjective worldview, while science seeks to go out During these limits, it rushes to the "dodge", guided by the principle of objectivity. Therefore, science is committed to the strict uniqueness of the perception of knowledge by man, she finds the appropriate means for this, their language, while the works of art do not have such unambiguity: the perception of them, refraarting through the subjective world of a person, generates a whole range of deeply individual shades and tones that make it The perception is unusually diverse, albeit a subordinate direction, a common topic. "

This is the secret of the extraordinary effects of art per person, his moral world, lifestyle, behavior. Turning to art, a person goes beyond the limits of rational unambiguity. Art opens a mysterious, non-scientific knowledge. That is why a person needs art as in the organic part of what is concluded in himself and in the world, which he knows and enjoys.

The famous Danish physicist Nils Bor wrote: "The reason why art can enrich us, is to remind us of harmonies missed for systematic analysis." In art, the problems of universal, "eternal" are often covered: what is good and evil, freedom, the dignity of man. Changing conditions for each epoch make these questions re-decide.

2. The concept of art.

The word "art" is often used in its original, very broad value. This is all sophistication, any clevership, skill in the implementation of any tasks requiring some perfection of their results. In the more narrow meaning of the word, the creativity "according to the laws of beauty". Works of artistic creativity, like works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". The works of all types of artistic creativity conclude a generalizing awareness of life existing outside of these works, and this is mainly human, public, national-historical life. If the content of artistic works is a generalizing awareness of national historical life, then it, it means that it is necessary to distinguish the reflection of some common, essential features of the lifetime itself and summarizing their consciousness of the artist.

The work of art, as well as all other types of public consciousness, is always the unity of the object in it and knows this object of the subject. Cognizable and reproducible by the lyrical artist "Inner World", even if it is his own "inner world", is always the object of his knowledge - knowledge of the active, which makes the selection of the essential features of this "inner world" and their understanding and evaluation.

So, the essence of lyrical creativity is that it is generally generally realized in the main features of human experiences - or in their own temporary condition and development, or in their direction of the outside world, for example, on the phenomenon of nature, as in landscape lyrics.

Epos, pantomime, painting, sculpture have among themselves huge differences arising from the features of the means and ways to reproduce life in each of them. Nevertheless, all of these artists, in all of them the essential features of national historical life are recognized in their external manifestations.

In primitive, professional society, art as a special kind of public consciousness has not yet existed on their own. It was then in an unintended, undifferentiated unity with other sides of the syncretic consciousness and expressing his creativity, with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about the last family-tribal life, with primitive geographical ideas, with moral requirements.

And then the art in his own sense of the word dismembered with other parties to the public consciousness, it was distinguished among them into a special specific variety. It has become one of the forms of the development of the social consciousness of various peoples. So it should be considered in its later changes.

Thus, art is a special meaningful variety of consciousness of society, it is artistic content, not scientific and not philosophical. L. Tolstoy, for example, identified art as a means of sharing feelings, opposing to him science as a means of sharing.

Art is often compared with the mapping mirror. This is not for sure. Rather, it would be less, as noted by the tender, the author of the "Art in our life" brochure: art is a special mirror with a single and inimitable structure, a mirror, reflecting reality through the thoughts and feelings of the artist. Through the artist in this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the attention of the artist, excited him.

3. Artistic socialization of the personality and the formation of aesthetic taste.

It is impossible to overestimate the importance of art. Give the only accurate definition - difficult, so diverse its manifestation is so difficult and accessible it at the same time. But one thing is obvious: without art there is no society, and the life of a person without art is poor and uninteresting.

The role and place of art in the life of society do not remain unchanged. In some era, society lives art, for example antiquity, Renaissance. The society is determined by the Religion - Middle Ages. In our country, due to the uniqueness of its historical development, art has always played a huge role and was an expressive of ideas and views different from officially recognized and imposed. Through art, people comprehended their being, they were looking for and found answers to the most pressing issues of life. They argued with him, his heroes were imitated, they lived.

However, in recent years, when it became possible to openly express his views, and the political dictation goes down in history, the social sound of art has decreased. Art ceased to be the only tribune to express public opinion. It was not such a tribune and in countries with developed democracy. Given this, some theorists and public figures began to argue that the art played their historical role and what only the hedonistic function remains for him and narrowly understood aesthetic: to give people rest, entertainment and admoniming beautiful. The flow of entertainment literature and television serials about the "beautiful life" as if confirming this. But if the nature of the art was reduced only to these functions, it could hardly have humanity to achieve those spiritual, moral, aesthetic heights, to gain the subtlety of feelings, mentality and responsiveness that inherent in genuine humanity.

"Oh, pity would have a circle of our ideas if we were provided only by our five feelings and our brain recycled food, produced by him. Often one powerful artistic image is wound in our souls more than mined for many years of life. We are aware that the best and precious part of our "I" belongs not to us, but to that spiritual milk, to whom the powerful hand of creativity brings us, "said Russian writer V.M. Garin.

Sometimes, and often, read or seen in the artistic work has a huge impact on human behavior and even defines all his life.

"Much identified Evgeny Onegin. If, then all my life for this last day, the first wrote, the first stretched his hand - and the hands, not afraid of the court, - then only because at the dawn of my days lying on Tatyana in the book, with a candle, with disheveled and blocked through the chest, It made it on my eyes.


And if then, when I left (always - left), not only did not stretch the hands, but the head did not turn around, then only because then, in the garden, Tatyana froze the statue.

Umbrella lesson. Lesson pride. Lesson lesson. Lesson of fate. Loneliness lesson, "Marina Tsvetaeva says.

"Through art (singing and words), we express our senses of love, sorrow and joy, under the sounds of music we are bolder to victory, under the same sounds we mourn the fallen heroes. Art decorates temples, it teaches us better to pray, stronger to love God and feel the feelings of others. Art ... This is an expressive and interpreter of the human soul, an intermediary between God and man. Art says clearer, more precisely, more beautiful that everyone would like to say, but can not. Art is like a guide star, illuminating the path to those who seek forward to the light, wants to be better, perfect, "said the Russian sculptor of the XIX century Mark Antocolsky .

"Art indicates a person for which he lives. It reveals the meaning of being, illuminates life goals, helps him understand his vocation, "- determines the appointment of art French sculptor Auguste Roden..

But this is a high appointment, for which the person was created, the art was created, and developed and developed, it performs only when it does not turn into simple entertainment.

And since, according to the logic of their historical development, humanity cannot extend its existence without understanding (and the need for this increases), without communication of people, without the desire to comprehend life, understand others, and above all - without the joy of creation and creativity, without Admiracy and delight of beauty, then the need for art, and therefore the art itself, will exist while there are people on earth. And communication with him makes every person sincerely thinner, spiritually richer. It is only necessary to understand the nature of art and its high appointment, learn to distinguish him from fakes and respect his creators.

"Blank, people, poets and the creators of the earth - they were, there are and will remain our sky, the air, our firm under the legs, our hope and hope. Without poets, without music, without artists and creators, the Earth would have been laughing, blinded, crumbled and died.

Take care, spare and love, earthlings, those choices that are given to you nature not only for decorating the days of your days, in the delight of hearing, the appointments of the soul, but also in the salvation of all the living, light on our land. "

Let these words V.P. Astafieva,spoken by him on the delete of life, sounding like a willing of a large Russian writer, will become defining in our attitude to the art and its creators.
