Almost every person has pleasant memories of a special moment in which the beauty of the Earth captivated him. If circumstances permit, we like to travel on vacation to beautiful, paradisiacal places, and try to capture the most memorable scenes in photography.
Human life began, not in a barren field, but in a heavenly environment, a garden surrounded by trees that were not only "good for food," but "desirable to look at." In addition, man was created with the power to appreciate beauty, unsurpassed beauty, design and artistic execution that oozes all creation: flowers, trees, mountains, valleys, lakes, waterfalls, birds, animals, and the human creature itself. No need to visit a national park to observe creative ability. We have a good example of this ability in the human body itself. Sculptors of ancient Greece considered the human figure as the archetype of artistic excellence, and tried to represent it as perfectly as possible. With the knowledge we have today about the functioning of the human body, we can appreciate even more the accomplished ability that manifests itself in its creation and design. “Nature is the art of God.” Said Sir Thomas Browne, a seventeenth-century doctor.
Humans are therefore by nature artists, therefore it is understood, that the origin of art begins from the beginning of humanity. Art has always served as a means, form and source of expression. What is expressed through the fine arts produces in those who receive it good effects and reactions.
In addition, art has a liberating, healing, and personal development effect. Art sensitizes, and artists, being sentient beings, create a better society. It does not require great skill, or excellence of art techniques to practice it. It can be practiced by anyone who wishes to do so.
One way to promote art and appreciate its importance in society is to spread the fine arts. A good way is to manage the support of institutions and entities that can sponsor the fine arts for the benefit of. A greater number of people. That is why at UNIVERSE GRAND QUEEN®, candidates who are involved in supporting the fine arts are highly valued. The winners of UNIVERSE GRAND QUEEN® are expected to participate actively in the promotion and dissemination of the fine arts worldwide
We take into account that the arts are related to the creativity and self-expression of the representatives. Therefore, they must be active promoters of the arts and enjoy art regardless of their preference. The arts are a broad category that includes drawing, painting, representation, theater, music, sculpture, architecture.
The appreciation of art is an alternative and beautiful way of understanding life, ourselves, our environment and other cultures. The language of art, expressed through sounds, colors, shapes, lines, and images, conveys great ideas and emotions.
When we are constantly exposed to artistic expressions, we tend to develop our aesthetic preference, and by cultivating our personal aesthetics, we are motivated to grow and learn more. We begin to know our concept of beauty and learn what expressions, colors, shapes, images, and sounds give us satisfaction.
When we appreciate art, we could identify with the artist or the works they create, and meditate on our own desires and feelings, and we could also feel new emotions and new desires. We learn about the past, the present and the future, when we appreciate art.
The fine arts teach us the varied cultural facets through generations, allows us to have a better understanding of people and society. Art gives us the opportunity to expand our knowledge and think creatively. By witnessing art, we enter the reality that the artist has created or create our own realities.
It is said that, when we appreciate great works of art, the part of the brain that is stimulated is the same as when we fell in love. The feeling of desire and affection we have when we feel love for someone, is the result of our brain letting out dopamine, the chemical that makes us feel good.
When members of a society are more in touch with art and culture, crime is less likely to develop, because art sensitizes and inspires people to be better individuals. That is why the promotion of arts and culture in every society is fundamental.
Knowing how art can positively influence the lives of people and society is a great opportunity to positively influence and generate a change in society just by exposing ourselves to the fine arts. Examples of skill and creative imagination abound in nature, and these have been a constant source of inspiration for human artists. Some artists openly acknowledge their limitations when they try to emulate natural beauty. "The true work of art is nothing more than a shadow of divine perfection," confessed Michelangelo, one of the greatest artists of all time.
