Why+Do+People+Create+Art?

Since the beginning of human history people have been creating art.
==We have found primative art all around the world, with some Australian rock painting dating back 40,000 years. People are still creating art today. Look at the following 2 questions and thoughtfully answer below. ==

=
I think that people throughout history have had the need and desire to create art to express themselves. I think that when people express themselves through art they can also connect with other people. Other people also interpret works of art differantly. =====

I have seen art everywhere! I especially see art in my school. All up and down the halls you can see different works of art made by students of every age. I also see art in books, signs, and just the outdoors to me is art. ===== =Misty Waldrop =

1. I think that people throughout history have felt the need to create art in order to communicate something. It might be a passion, a memory, an emotion, or a number of other things.
2. I've seen art in sculpture gardens, the Louvre museum, and local museums. I think the place I most frequently see art is at home. My four year old loves to express himself with drawings. (mwaldrop)

1. Why do you think that throughout history people have had the need
=and desire to create art? = There is always a need to express oneself. Even in ancient times, complex feelings and emotions have had to be let out, and art is one of the best forms this development can take. =2. Art is all around us. Can you tell me some places that you've seen art. = In my room! :-) Museums, Langan Park, all over the University! (nsells)

1. I agree with others that people have to express their feelings and have to communicate with each other, and that is why throughout history people have had the need to create art. Not everyone can communicate verbally, so some use other forms like writing, music, dancing, and painting to name a few. (emorriessette) 2. I see art from the time I open my eyes in the morning. There is art in house, as I drive on the road, in the clothes people wear, in the sky, in museums, parks, just everywhere. Once a person can use their imagination, a form of art can be created or found. (emorriessette)

===1. I think that the creation of art is one of the main things that separate us from all other animals. We first created art for religious purposes. They thought when they drew pictures of themselves killing an animal to eat then they would be able to. === ===2. I see art sometimes painted on the bathroom wall. Sometimes the most significant work of art can be hidden in the most mundane place. You just have to be open to seeing it. (RSimmons)===

==<span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 11px;">their was no alphabet or writing so they created art. They used art to tell stories and illustrate what they saw or happened around them. == ==<span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 11px;">2. I have seen art many places. I think when you create anything it's considered art. Some places I've seen art is in my students' drawings, in books, bulletin boards, and buildings. (Krobison) ==
