Art has existed since humans appeared on earth. Some examples of the oldest documented art in the world are prehistoric cave paintings, painted on cave walls thousands of years ago. These cave paintings were used to communicate and record the stories of the artists. The paintings themselves may have been extremely simple, but they still conveyed the message. Communication is just one of the many uses of art. Art can be used for virtually anything, from therapy to entertainment, and that's because almost everyone appreciates some form of art. Art is an international language that people from all walks of life can understand together and boasts one of the fastest growing communities in the modern world. Probably the best thing about art is that no two people will ever have the same vision about it. Every person has their own ideas and opinions about art, and that makes this already huge topic even bigger. Art offers us a way to be completely unique from other people and helps us escape into a world we have created and have full control over. Through the many different mediums in which art can be expressed, we can experience certain emotions. Art can make us feel happy on a bad day, or it could be a way to channel our anger without harming anyone around us. When we look at art, we create meaning in it. We put our own imaginative touch and make each piece our own. People like art because it is mysterious and each person sees it in their own way. Overall, art helps people in many different ways. Art is enjoyed by millions of people every day around the world. The art is so popular that there are entire galleries dedicated to showing nothing but art.
