How does art influence a person? How does it affect the worldview and perception of the entire surrounding space? Why do some pieces of music make your skin crawl, and a scene in a movie bring tears to your cheeks? No one will give an exact answer to these questions - art can awaken in a person the most diverse and often very contradictory feelings.
What is art?
There is a precise definition of art - it is the process or result of expression in artistic manifestation, as well as a creative symbiosis that conveys certain feelings and emotions experienced at a certain moment. Art is multifaceted. It is capable of conveying the experiences of one person and even the mood of an entire people in a specific period of time.
The power of true art lies primarily in its impact on people. Agree, one picture can cause a lot of experiences and impressions, which, among other things, can be quite contradictory. Art is a kind of reflection of the true essence of a person. And it doesn’t matter at all whether he is a great artist or a connoisseur of painting.
Means of art and its types
First of all, you should decide on the types of art, and there are quite a large number of them. So, the main ones are music, literature, painting, theater, circus, cinema, sculpture, architecture, photography, as well as graphics and much more.
How does art work? dispassionate, unlike music or painting, which can evoke a lot of emotions and experiences. Only true masterpieces can contribute to the formation of a special worldview and perception of the surrounding reality. Special attention is paid to the expressive means of art (rhythm, proportion, form, tone, texture, etc.), which allow one to fully appreciate a particular work.
The versatility of art
As already mentioned, art is multifaceted. This is especially eloquently demonstrated by the masterpieces of sculpture and architecture, decorative and applied arts, music and literature, painting and graphics that have been preserved since time immemorial, as well as immortal cinema and theatrical performances. and historical research shows that the most ancient civilizations sought to express their own “I” through drawings on rocks, ritual dances around a fire, traditional costumes, etc.
Art is not intended only to evoke a specific feeling. These methods are intended for more global goals - to form a special inner world of a person who is able to see beauty and create something similar.
Music is a separate art form
Perhaps this type of art deserves a separate large category. We encounter music all the time; even our most ancient ancestors performed various rituals to the rhythmic sounds of original instruments. Music can have a wide variety of influences on a person. For some it can serve as a means of peace and relaxation, and for others it will become a stimulus and impetus for further action.
Moreover, scientists have long come to the conclusion that music is an excellent secondary means of rehabilitating patients and an excellent opportunity to achieve peace of mind. That is why music is often played in the wards, thus strengthening faith in a speedy recovery.
Painting
The influencing power of art is the greatest power that can radically change a person’s worldview and significantly influence the formation of his inner world. A riot of colors, rich colors and harmoniously selected shades, smooth lines and large-scale volumes - all these are means of fine art.
World-famous masterpieces of artists are stored in the treasuries of galleries and museums. Paintings have an amazing effect on a person’s inner world; they are able to penetrate into the most hidden corners of consciousness and sow the seed of true values. Moreover, by creating unique works of fine art, a person expresses his own experiences and shares his vision of the surrounding reality with the whole world. Everyone knows the fact that the treatment of certain diseases of the nervous system is often accompanied by drawing classes. This promotes healing and peace for patients.
Poetry and prose: about the influencing power of literature
Surely everyone knows that the word, in its essence, has incredible power - it can heal a wounded soul, reassure, give joyful moments, warm, in the same way, a word can wound a person and even kill. A word framed with a beautiful syllable has even greater power. We are talking about literature in all its manifestations.
Masterpieces of world classics are a huge number of amazing works that, to one degree or another, influenced the life of almost every person. Drama, tragedy, poetry, poems and odes - all this was reflected to varying degrees in the soul of everyone who was able to touch the works of the classics. The impact of art on a person - in particular literature - is multifaceted. So, for example, in troubled times, writers with their poems called on the people to fight, and with their novels they carried the reader into a completely different world, filled with different colors and characters.
Literary works shape a person’s inner world, and it is no coincidence that in our times, filled with innovation and technological advances, people are encouraged to once again plunge into the unusually cozy atmosphere that a good book creates.
The influence of art
Progress does not stand still, just like art. Different eras are characterized by certain trends, which are reflected to one degree or another in many works. Moreover, it was often fashion trends that shaped the image and way of life of the population. It is enough just to remember how the directions of architecture were dictated by the canons of construction and interior design. The influencing power of art contributed not only to the creation of buildings in a certain style, but also shaped general tastes among the population.
For example, in the architectural field there is even a unique classification of historical periods: the Renaissance, Rococo, Baroque, etc. In what way does art influence a person in this case? It shapes a person’s taste preferences, his style and demeanor, dictates the rules of interior design and even the style of communication.
Influence of modern art
It’s difficult to talk about contemporary art. This is not at all due to the specific features of the 21st century, filled with innovations and unique technological innovations. At one time, many writers and artists were not recognized as geniuses; moreover, they were often considered crazy. It is quite possible that in a few hundred years our contemporaries will be considered geniuses of their time.
Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to trace trends in contemporary art. Many are inclined to believe that current creations are just the decomposition of old ones. Time will tell by what means art influences in this case and how it influences the formation of personality. And for creators it is very important to form and cultivate a sense of beauty in society.
How does art work?
Speaking about the influencing force of this phenomenon, we cannot limit ourselves to the concepts of good and evil. Art in all its manifestations does not teach us to distinguish good from bad, light from darkness and white from black. Art shapes a person’s inner world, teaches him to distinguish between the concepts of good and evil, to reason about life, as well as to structure his thoughts and even see the world in a multifaceted aspect. Books immerse you in a completely different world of dreams and fantasies, shape a person as a person, and also make you think about many things and take a different look at seemingly ordinary situations.
The works of architects, painters, writers and musicians that have survived to this day speak eloquently of the immortality of true masterpieces. They fully show how powerless time is in front of the priceless works of the classics.
True art cannot be ignored, and its power can not only shape the inner world, but also dramatically change a person’s life.
The ancient Greek thinker Aristotle believed that the ability of art to influence the spiritual world of man is based on imitation of reality. Highly appreciating literary creativity, Aristotle assigned a special role to tragedy. He considered the purpose of the tragedy catharsis(from the Greek katharsis - purification), purification of the soul through empathy for the heroes. Going through catharsis, a person rises spiritually.
The history of artistic culture has recorded many cases when the perception of a work of art served as an incentive to perform certain actions, sometimes to change the way of life. Art influences not just one human ability or aspect of spiritual life, but the spiritual world of man as a whole. It influences the entire system of human attitudes. Thus, the exciting sounds of the song “Holy War” raised peaceful Soviet people to a mortal battle with the fascist brown plague.
The famous Danish physicist Niels Bohr wrote: “The reason why art can enrich us is its ability to remind us of harmonies beyond the reach of systematic analysis.” In art, in a special artistic form, universal, eternal problems are illuminated: what is good and evil, love, freedom, personal dignity, what is a person’s calling and duty.
Introduction to art encourages a person to comprehend his life attitudes and values, and to better understand his problems. Often fictional characters are perceived as real people from whom you can learn a lot, and with whom you can even consult. Thanks to art, a person gets the opportunity to live many different lives and learn lessons for himself from them. Reading a book or watching a movie, we are transported into the world of images they create, which prompt us to think, give rise to experiences,
memories and premonitions. In this way, each of them joins the values of culture, absorbs the experience accumulated by humanity.
Aesthetic attitude to the world.Aesthetics(from the Greek aisthetikos - related to sensory perception) is one of the philosophical disciplines that studies a person’s relationship to the world based on ideas about the beautiful and the ugly, the sublime and the base, etc. Aesthetics also studies the sphere of artistic activity of people.
In our life, the beautiful and the ugly, the heroic, the sublime and the base, the tragic and the comic really coexist. We express our aesthetic appreciation when we say: “What a beautiful day!” At the same time, the heart is filled with a feeling of joy from the warm sun, the first soft green leaves on the trees, and the singing of birds. Or we say: “What wonderful words!” And this means that the words we heard not only warmed our soul, but also filled us with a sense of beauty with their sound. At the same time, we also notice the ugly, the base, which causes us a feeling of grief and rejection. It is unpleasant for us when we see dirt on the street, when the harmony of human relationships is disturbed. When buying clothes, making repairs in the house, even preparing food, we are guided not only by considerations of practicality and usefulness. We also want it to be beautiful.
Beautiful is a central concept in aesthetics. All its other concepts are somehow related to beauty, expressing different facets of the sensory perception of the world and the aesthetic assessment of its phenomena. We call phenomena that have the highest perfection and undeniable aesthetic value beautiful.
Aesthetic attitude to the world- this is his sensory perception associated with the need of people to build life in accordance with the laws of beauty, the desire to make life beautiful. The sphere of aesthetic includes seoya aesthetic consciousness And aesthetic activity. 200
Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa (c. 1503)
Aesthetic consciousness has three levels:
Aesthetic perception;
Aesthetic taste (system of aesthetic attitudes and ideals of the individual);
Aesthetic theories (philosophically meaningful aesthetic experience of humanity).
Everyone knows the saying “There are no comrades according to taste.” It means that our aesthetic perception of the world is subjective, individual and unique. What seems beautiful to one may seem completely ugly to another.
| in the perception of his behavior and appearance. We appreciate that |
Sometimes we say about a person: “He has taste.” At the same time, we single out a person with a sense of taste, rather, not by reasoning, but on the basis of direct perception of his behavior and appearance. We appreciate that
how he dresses, what kind of interior he lives in, how he behaves, how he speaks, etc.
Aesthetic taste- this is a person’s ability, on the basis of an emerging feeling of pleasure or displeasure, to distinguish the beautiful from the ugly in art and reality, to give an aesthetic assessment of various phenomena, objects, and events.
Aesthetic taste develops through the experience of communicating with the beautiful in nature and in people, as well as through acquaintance with works of art. If from childhood a person hears nothing but musical vulgarity, he is unlikely to be able to perceive and appreciate classical music and develop his musical taste. Aesthetic taste is easily instilled in a child in a family where politeness and respect for each other, a love of cleanliness and neatness are established, and where swear words are not used in communication. And vice versa, in an atmosphere of foul language, rudeness, and cruelty, it is very difficult to form aesthetic taste.
Bad taste manifests itself in different ways. A person with bad taste mistakes external beauty, loudness and tackiness for true beauty. For people with undeveloped taste, it is typical to gravitate towards what is catchy, easy to understand and does not require thought or effort. Such people are more satisfied with purely entertaining works of art, art of primitive forms. Often we also have to deal with a claim to the only correct aesthetic assessment, with a disdainful attitude towards the artistic preferences of other people. Really good taste requires modesty.
Spheres of aesthetic activity.Aesthetic activity- this is the spiritual activity of a person, which involves, first of all, the creation of works of art, their perception and judgment about them. The spheres of aesthetic activity also include the aesthetics of nature, the aesthetics of work, everyday life, and human relationships.
Aesthetic activity is carried out according to the laws of beauty. Thanks to it, a person enters into an aesthetic relationship with the surrounding reality. He cheats, 202
improves and develops his abilities and his inner, spiritual world as a whole.
Aesthetics of nature. The beauty of the world around us has always excited man's imagination and awakened his feelings. Admiration for the beauty of nature inspires people to create works of art. Let us recall, for example, “The Seasons” by the Italian composer A. Vivaldi or the wonderful landscapes of I. Levitan, I. Shishkin, and our fellow countryman V. Byalynitsky-Biruli. People have an inherent desire to transform nature. An example of this is gardening art. We ourselves also belong to nature. When decorating it, we must take care of our own beauty, the development of flexibility, the plasticity of our body, the harmony of voice and gesture.
V. K. Byalynitsky-Birulya. Spring Waters (1930)
Aesthetics of work. For a long time, people have strived to make labor tools and household utensils not only convenient and practical, but also beautiful (ornament on ceramic pots, painted vases, carved platbands, etc.). In modern labor aesthetics, design occupies a special place - Artistic design of aesthetic appearance
industrial products. Much attention is paid to the aesthetic design of workplaces.
Aesthetics of everyday life. Everyday life is an important part of human life, covering the world of everyday activities not related to production. By organizing meals, recreation, entertainment, communicating with each other, decorating their homes or clothes, people in fact realize aesthetic ideals and values that are developed by society and are fully accepted by them.
Aesthetics of human relations. The sphere of communication and human relations is the area where the aesthetic perception of the world merges with the moral. Beauty here is usually associated with good, and ugliness with evil. Beauty of behavior presupposes the manifestation of a friendly, respectful attitude towards a person. It is closely related to the culture of speech and general education. Politeness and following the rules of etiquette help build truly human relationships and make our communication attractive and worthy. Business communication usually involves following strict rules. In informal communication (within family, among friends), people express their emotions more freely, using expressive facial expressions, various gestures, intonations, etc. If a person is accustomed to swear words, if he cannot express himself other than by shouting or insults, then this speaks of a lack of aesthetic culture and simply bad manners. In communication, it is important to find aesthetically and morally acceptable forms of expressing one’s thoughts and feelings.
Questions and tasks
1 . What is the specificity of art? 2. What types of art do you know? How are they different? 3. What does aesthetics study? What concepts does she use? 4. How does aesthetic taste develop? 5. Name the main areas of aesthetic activity. What are the features of the manifestation of aesthetic taste in them? 6. What art do you consider modern? 7. What do you understand by classical art and how do you feel about it?
Morality
Social functions of morality. All people in everyday behavior must obey certain rules and norms. Some of these rules and regulations are of a specialized nature (building codes, traffic rules, etc.). Morality regulates people's behavior in all areas of life.
Legal norms, laws, job descriptions, charters of organizations, customs, traditions, and public opinion play an important role in people’s lives. All these forms of social influence on the behavior of an individual are related to morality, but do not completely coincide with it. The peculiarity of morality is that it is internal regulator of behavior.
So, the first and fundamental social function of morality is regulatory The universality of morality as a regulator of human behavior does not lie in the fact that it contains clear instructions for all occasions. Morality gives, rather, the most general instructions, for example, it prescribes being kind to people. This is not a recipe, following which can bring some benefit, but a call to be human not only in appearance, but also in essence.
A moral act is performed not under coercion, but because of a person’s own conviction. Therefore, the second function of morality is to cultivate in each person a sense of self-worth that does not allow him to commit base, unworthy acts. This function can be called educational.
The moral character of a person is its holistic characteristic, covering or affecting everything that a person does, thinks about, and lives with. Human morality is, in fact, synonymous with humanity. Morality indicates to each of us in which direction our spiritual development should occur in order for the humanity in us to grow, strengthen, and not degrade.
Moral regulation of people’s behavior also performs another very important function - unity, consolidation society. Globalization processes lead to the fact that the world social system becomes unstable,
it constantly experiences conflicts and upheavals, the consequences of which can be large-scale. Under these conditions, it is easy to lose your head, get confused and begin to take inappropriate actions.
We are witnessing with our own eyes the weakening of social ties between people, the loss of the sense of human solidarity. Only reliance on morality can save us from trouble and prevent it from happening again in the 21st century. social catastrophes that marked the last century. In conditions of a social crisis, cold calculation does not always suggest the best way to solve complex social problems. Morality contains an unconditional prohibition on inhumane actions that humiliate human dignity and threaten the life and health of people. This can be seen as manifestations humanizing social function of morality.
The moral function of art. Art is rightly called human studies. In literary works, music, and painting, the human essence is revealed in an artistic and figurative form, and moral and other problems of people’s lives are discussed. Art helps a person to realize and understand himself myself and other people, to comprehend their moral duty.
In the images of art, the plots of works of art, perhaps the most important thing is a person’s search for the meaning of life, true values, the struggle between good and evil, the clash of desire and duty. All artistic creativity is permeated with moral quests. Art influences human morality not by preaching, but by depicting situations in which the heroes of works must make moral choices. Thus, many literary heroes and film characters come across the selfish selfishness of some people, the indifference or moral blindness of others, and in a difficult struggle pave the way to a new moral position, to their own interpretation of good and evil, duty, responsibility. The hero, as it were, experiments in relation to the moral foundations of life and forces viewers, readers, and listeners to think through the content of these experiments and draw their own conclusions. 206
K. P. Bryullov. The Last Day of Pompeii (1833)
Through the means of art it is possible even to give evil an outwardly attractive form, to convey to error the external signs of truth. However, this does not relieve any of us from the responsibility for the correct interpretation of these plots, since we are free in our assessment and moral choice.
The relationship between religion and morality. Each religion is based on certain moral ideals, the exponents of which can be God himself, his messengers, holy ascetics, etc. Let us consider the relationship between moral and religious norms using the example of Christianity. The main way to establish Christian moral standards was their inclusion in the text of the Bible. These norms are of the highest importance for Christians, for their source is considered to be the will of God.
The main positive moral norm here is the requirement of a humane attitude towards people. The Gospels contain two different formulations of it. First - “As you want people to do to you, do so too.”
with them” - can be called the golden rule of morality. It is both a requirement to do good and a criterion of morality, a way to find out which action is good and which is bad. The second formulation, containing the requirement of humanism, sounds like this: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
The Bible also enshrines many other moral standards: do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not lie (more precisely, do not bear false witness), honor your father and mother, feed the hungry, do not insult people, do not be angry with people in vain, make peace with those with whom quarreled, etc.
Religion does not create anew moral standards for people's lives, but can help strengthen them, reinforcing them with its authority. However, religious faith does not relieve a person of responsibility for his moral choice, for the morality of his actions.
Art is an integral part of our culture. Thanks to music, painting and literature, we not only learn something new, receiving emotional pleasure, but also begin to improve by developing our inner spiritual world. Everyone has long known what art is capable of - it can create miracles! And there is plenty of evidence of this.
Since ancient times, people have known that art can be used for medicinal purposes. Today, music is widely used in medicine in the treatment of psychological diseases. She is able to awaken new feelings in a person and pacify him.
Music can be used not only in treatment, but also in education. There are many compositions, listening to which a person develops the ability to study such exact sciences as: mathematics, physics, foreign languages, etc. Classical music can open up a feeling of calm and relaxation in a person. In this state, learning something new, perceiving and remembering information occurs much better.
However, music is just a part of art. The world of colors also plays a big role in our lives. We can see this on Art of Russia http://artofrussia.ru/, which perfectly shows how fine art can have a good influence on a person. It helps to express new emotions, encourages creativity, calms the nervous system, and can also charge you with new vital energy.
In medical practice, fine art is widely used for medicinal purposes. Special events are created where people can express their emotions and inner experiences through creativity.
Regardless of whether we listen to excellent music, look at an elegant painting, or admire another work of art, in any case we can find in it what we and our soul will need in moments of joy or adversity.

This article will help you understand how art affects human psychology. I will try to talk about the positive impact of art on a person’s spiritual culture, and my own research will help me with this. The survey will show how modern youth views art and what answers they give to the main questions of my article.
- Schemas, prejudices, and the self-fulfilling prophecy: The importance of diversity, inclusion, and representation.
- Cognitive nature of the autonomous sensory meridional response
- The influence of stressful situations on the quality of professional activity
- Emotional and emotive competence of the individual: the language of emotions and emotions in language
Probably every person has noticed the transience of life: days give way to weeks, weeks to months, months to years. Due to a difficult work schedule and difficult studies, we are constantly in a state of fatigue, drowsiness, and apathy. After a hard work rhythm, we strive to quickly return home, cover ourselves with a blanket, and spend the rest of the day in quiet peace. It would seem that there is nothing wrong with these actions, because most people do this, which means this is a familiar way of life, which does not surprise anyone now.
It's like that. But there is a big feature of this way of life: we stop noticing important moments for us, moments that awaken in us spiritual purity, sublimity of feelings, and indifference to the beautiful world. This is the very thing without which a person cannot exist - this is his root, the beginning that gives development to other aspects of his personality. That is why the famous French writer Claude Adrian Helvetius said: “The task of art is to excite hearts.”
In my article I want to convey to readers how great the role of art is in our lives, what is its impact on the spiritual and psychological development of a person; what is our internal state after going to the theater, museum, art gallery, after listening to classical music. To do this, I will conduct a short survey, from which we will find out the role of art for each of us, what is its influence on the inner world of a person. But first, we will get acquainted with different interpretations of the concept of art and highlight something significant for ourselves.
So, at the moment there are many definitions of art:
- Art is a specific type of spiritual reflection and mastery of reality. For many years, art researchers further added: “aimed at the formation and development of a person’s ability to creatively transform the world around him and himself according to the laws of beauty.” The very fact that art has a purpose is controversial. The concept of beauty is relative. In this regard, the standard of beauty can vary greatly in different cultural traditions.
- Art is one of the elements of culture in which artistic and aesthetic values are accumulated.
- Art is a form of sensory knowledge of the world. There are three methods of human cognition: rational (based on thinking); sensual (based on emotions), irrational (based on intuition). In the main manifestations of human spiritual cultural activity, denoting the symbolic appearance of culture (science, art, religion), all three are present. Each of these spheres has its own predominant areas: science - rational, art - sensual, religion - intuitive.
- Art is the area of manifestation of human creative abilities.
- Art is the process of a person’s mastery of artistic values, which gives him a certain pleasure and enjoyment.
Art is very multifaceted, as is the human soul. Art is a rich world of beautiful images, the desire to understand the meaning of life and human existence, the concentration of human creative powers.
Art is the perfection of ancient statues, the grandeur of medieval Gothic, the beautiful images of Renaissance Madonnas, these are the riddles that surrealism asks us. Art is the greatest creations of Dante and Michelangelo, Shakespeare and Pushkin, the paintings of Leonardo and Rubens, Picasso and Matisse, the brilliant music of Bach and Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, the sculptures of Phidias and Polycletus, Rodin and Maillol, the performances of Stanislavsky and Meyerhold, Brecht and Brook, films of Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky.
Art is everything that surrounds us in everyday life, everything that comes into our home from TV and video screens, what is heard on the stage, in audio recordings.
So, we have looked at different interpretations of the concept of art. Obviously, this is a very multifaceted concept, including different aspects, but in all these concepts there is a unifying principle, which in one way or another underlies every art - this is the sublimity of feelings, detachment from the earthly, the perception of the world in its deepest sense. I believe that every art connoisseur experiences these wonderful sensations, and therefore he can no longer live without them - it is like air to him. He longs to come into contact with the sublime again and again, to feel happy next to a great work of art.
As the author of this article, I consider it my responsibility to tell readers what the concept of art means to me. By nature, I am a modest, dreamy and receptive person. I am always very sensitive to any events, and therefore I am too vulnerable. But, in my opinion, thanks to my emotionality, I become closer to spiritual culture, to all types of its manifestation. My heart can be excited by the work of any talented person who devotes himself entirely to his creativity, leaves a piece of himself, thereby finding deep feedback from the viewer. Thus, the famous French writer Andre Gide in his book “Isabelle” says about art: “Art is the collaboration of God with the artist, and the fewer artists, the better.” These words evoke admiration for their truthfulness, because in fact, a huge role lies on the master, on the one who creates the creation, being in direct communication with God. This is truly a gift that is given to a person from above.
So, now I would like to present the results of my survey, but before doing this, I want to clarify: the majority of those I surveyed were female audiences, who, in my opinion, are closer to art, due to their sensitive perception, emotionality and tenderness. A woman is like a flower that blooms and illuminates everyone with its beauty at the sight of beauty, and this beauty is art.
Men also took part in the survey, but there were much fewer of them. In total, I interviewed 40 people, of whom 30 were girls and 10 boys aged from 18 to 25 years. Let's take a closer look at each question. The first one was: “Do you think that art has a beneficial effect on a person?” Absolutely every person responded positively, which, I admit, made me very happy. When asking the second question, I wanted to find out what type of art my friends prefer most. The answers were different: many answered that they loved music, theater, museums, painting; someone offered their own options, for example, cinema, photography, literature and even ballet. From this question, I concluded that modern youth are interested in all types of art, from music to ballet. This is actually great. The third question was: “How often do you experience the influence of “catharsis”? Most of the respondents settled on the answer: 2 times a month, someone answered that more; the male half turned out to be less active in this regard. But we should not rush to conclusions, because it was the young men who turned out to be more active in their statements: they offered their answers if they did not find anything close to them in the presented options. Thus, a 21-year-old young man answered the third question like this: “I believe that great creations are everywhere, wherever you look, art and beauty are everywhere. And when you see all this, you involuntarily feel catharsis.” I admit, this answer surprised me so much that I realized how much I still don’t know about this person.
The fourth question was: “What, in your opinion, contributes to the strong impact of art on a person?” Most responded that this is facilitated by the presence of character traits such as melancholy and sentimentality. Others felt that acting contributed to this. Someone explained this by a person’s mood at a certain period of time. Many offered their own options, namely: the desire to improve, to be an enlightened and spiritually rich person. Very interesting and vivid answers were presented to my attention.
In the fifth question, I wanted to know what feelings art awakens in my friends. Thus, the majority answered that after going to the theater or museum, they become calm and happy, which relieves them of everyday problems. A considerable number responded that art contributes to the development of moral qualities, such as love for others and the desire to do good, in which I completely agree with them.
And the last question was related to the desire to find out whether only my acquaintances have a place for art in their lives, or whether their immediate circle is also not indifferent to the lofty. The answers were positive: almost everyone answered that they visited cultural institutions with their parents, grandmothers, and friends. For some, creativity accompanies them from childhood, since their mother and father are artists or musicians, which, in my opinion, is very cool. If a person interacts with creativity from the cradle, most likely he will carry it throughout his life.
What conclusion can be drawn from the results of the survey? In my opinion, the conclusion is clear: despite the age of mass media, in which you can fulfill all your desires without leaving the door of your apartment, the younger generation still strives to come into contact with real, authentic art, to feel the spiritual and moral beginning within themselves.
I want to end my article with the words of the famous French philosopher Jean Marie Guyot: “The most sublime goal of art is to make the human heart beat, and since the heart is the center of life, art must constantly be in the closest connection with the entire moral and material life of mankind.”

Art... It can revive a person’s soul from its ashes, make him experience simply incredible emotions and feelings. Art is a means through which authors try to convey their thoughts to people and accustom them to beauty.
The author talks about the need for art in our lives, he focuses on the fact that “beauty must be learned and appreciated, just as one must learn to feel high music.” Yuri Bondarev cites as an example Mozart’s work “Requiem”, which has an unimaginable impact on listeners, “people openly shed tears in the episode where the life of the great composer was cut short.” Thus, the author shows that art can touch the subtle strings of a person’s soul and make him experience extraordinary feelings.
Bondarev claims that art can greatly influence a person, because it is the most beautiful thing in his life. Art can change a person, his inner world. This is something you definitely need to learn. Indeed, one cannot but agree with the author. I believe that art can make us feel joy and sadness, sadness and excitement, happiness and many other emotions.
Thus, in the work of I.A. Goncharov “Oblomov” the main character’s attitude to music is vividly described. Oblomov, visiting Olga Ilyinskaya, heard her play the piano for the first time. The author shows us how music can influence a person’s inner world and his emotions. Listening to the magnificent performance, the hero could hardly hold back his tears; he felt strength and vigor, a desire to live and act.
However, the attitude of the protagonist of I. S. Turgenev’s work “Fathers and Sons” towards art is very negative. Bazarov does not perceive it as an integral part of a person’s life, he does not see its benefits and advantages. This was the limitation of his views. But a person’s life without art, without a “sense of beauty” is very boring and monotonous, which, unfortunately, the hero never recognized.
In conclusion, I would like to conclude that art is the most important part in the life of each of us. You just need to let it into your heart and soul, and it can conquer the whole world.
Option 2
Any type of art for a person is the highest reward for the efforts that he made to take part in it - either by being the creator of a masterpiece, or simply admiring its results from the outside.
Musical compositions, mysterious paintings, elegant sculptures arose thanks to human knowledge, natural gift or desire to achieve such perfection.
In the process of creating any masterpiece of art, a person uses his talent, showing his full potential. Art develops and does not allow you to remain in one place, in a state of inaction. Due to this, people improve. Those who to any extent relate to this area are creative people who are in constant search. Immersing themselves in this world, they actively develop spiritually.
Thus, through the manifestation of imagination, determination, fantasy, and patience, art helps in affirming one’s life position, influences a person’s worldview, helps to find oneself, and form one’s own way of thinking.
If we are talking about music, then after listening to classical works, a person’s emotional, mental and even physical state improves. Depending on the rhythm and content of the melodies and songs, you can either get a charge of incredible vivacity or calm down.
Under the influence of art, a person’s inner world is transformed. Any of its types - graphics, theater, painting, etc. contains so much deep meaning and passion, which are expressed through unique means of expression, that they make you think about yourself, the meaning of life, and allow you to look at the world in a new way.
Any work of art helps to distinguish between good and evil, good and bad. Literary works have enormous power that can act on a person, transporting him to another world. By becoming the hero of the events depicted in books, people learn new information, on the basis of which they become better, correct mistakes after meeting his characters, sympathize and rejoice with them. Literature can radically change a person's worldview.
Under the influence of painting, the formation of a person’s spiritual world occurs. Participation in this type of activity promotes self-expression and enhances impressions. In sculptures, people embody their aesthetic desires, and for outside observers they are educational.
Thus, art cultivates only the best character traits in a person, increases intelligence, identifying and developing those qualities that were previously invisible.
