World Art Day, celebrated on April 15th, is an annual celebration of art and its vital role in human culture. This day was chosen in honor of Leonardo da Vinci's birthday, who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time. World Art Day is a time to reflect on the importance of art in our lives and to celebrate the creativity and diversity of artists and their works.
Art has the power to inspire, challenge, and unite people from all backgrounds and cultures. It can be a means of expressing emotions, telling stories, and exploring important issues. It can even improve mental health and well-being, promote empathy and understanding, and contribute to economic development. By celebrating World Art Day, we can raise awareness of these benefits and encourage greater investment in the arts.
Often when people think “art,” they imagine drawing and painting, but in reality, “art” covers many different outlets, like writing, acting, and architecture.
World Art Day is an important occasion to celebrate the power and value of art. It is a time to appreciate the contributions of artists and to reflect on the role of art in society. In recognition of the day, the Edison Public Library has selected titles from our circulation that focus on the importance of art, either through its history, its teaching, or helping others to make it. |
