Public Speaking : Is Art important to human lives ?

Is Art important to human lives ?





            Recently, there was a news about Bangkok Art and Culture Center or BACC which got a lot attention from Thai people and it was mentioned widely in social media.
        BACC  was one of famous place in Bangkok, our capital city that has been opened for about 10 years and since that day the number of visitors have been increasing every year. Not only Thais but also foreign tourists always visit here. But now, BACC is facing with budget problem. Normally,Bangkok Metropolitan council will allocate the budget to BACC every year, but now they have not been received the budget for many months, no matter what the reason is. But whatBangkok Metropolitan council do cause many problems like lacking money to pay for utilities or maintainance of the place and art works in there. If the problems don’t be solved, it might effect to the organisation in the future.

        After I read this news, it remind me to one poem of Thai. It talked about the art. It said that he country which has no art is like a women without beauty.
Many countries around the world value an art and respect person who has ability to create a priceless art work. It was considered that the country that value the art is the developed country.
        In BACC, many valuable art pieces of many famous artists were collected here. If you have some free time, I would like to recommend you to visit there. After going there, you will not only get inspirer, you will get to learn something new and get new experiences.
BACC is not just the place for showing art works. / BACC is also the place for opportunities for people to show their opinion in social and political side. Many artists express their idea through the art by creating an art piece for satirizing or campaign.

        The main purpose that I decide to choose this topic to talk about today is I want everyone to support art works and I want everyone to appreciate in art more. It’s been a long time that art live with human and I would say that it was with us since we were born. I would say that art is also the image of our country. Many people neglect and don’t value it because they think it’s not that important. In this age, people are more interested in something modern.
Did you know that art is not only beauty, art is not only a picture, and art is not made for seeing only. Actually, the art is more than you think. The art plays important role and involves in our daily lives. The art is everywhere and we are always surrounded by art. Have you ever notice when you walked in public place and there are colorful wall with pictures or any graphic /// or even in restaurant / department stores. They are all related with art.

When we talk about ‘art’, most people always think that the art is drawing, / painting / and it’s what people do in free time. But actually, art provides many benefits to human in various ways. Doctors or psychologists use art for mental therapy and healing for depression and many other diseases. Also, art is one way of meditation. Moreover, patients with mental illness who think they are ignored by other people, they will use art to express their thought and feeling. And that make them feel like there is someone listening to what they would like to speak.

Moreover, art gives us an occupation. Many people earn money from art. Also, we can use art to show our culture and lifestyle to be known all over the world.Many tourists are fascinated in art and they like to travel to many places which are an important landmark that show the art of each country. If we improve and promote our art, foreign tourists will come to our country more and that will be good effect to our economy.
Did you see how art important to human lives. So,we should develop this in our country as well and make everyone know how much beautiful art do we have. Thank you.
