WORLD ART DAY Every year World Art Day on April 15th celebrates the fine arts and promotes awareness of creativity worldwide. When humans use their creative skills and imagination to create something in visual form, it is called art. Some of the most popular types of art include painting, sculpting, drawing, photography, and calligraphy. These art forms can be used in professional applications, such as architecture, fashion design, wood crafts, and jewelry design. Along with visual arts, there are also the performing arts. Examples of the performing arts include dance, theater, and music. There are many reasons everyone (especially children) should take up an art form. Some of the benefits art has to offer include: Art generates a love for learning and creativity. Art strengthens focus, improves hand-eye coordination, and helps teach problem-solving. It supports emotional intelligence and helps people express complex feelings. Art reaches across racial stereotypes and religious barriers and helps to build communities. It builds self-esteem, increases motivation, and improves holistic health. Art awakens the senses and helps people experience the world in new ways.
