Each type of art speaks in its own language about the eternal problems of life, about good and evil, about love and hate, about joy and sorrow, about the beauty of the world and the human soul, about the height of thoughts and aspirations, about the comic and tragic nature of life. Art helps a person to choose ideals and values. This has been the case at all times. Art is a kind of life textbook.

An artistic image is a generalized idea of reality, an attitude to life, to the world around us, expressed in the language of art. Revealing his inner world, the artist is always tuned in to the wave of his time with all its worries and joys, anticipating certain changes.

Introduction.
The relevance of research ... At all times, people have tried to capture their attitude to life in different types of art. All life impressions are refracted through the artist's inner world and are addressed to the experience of each viewer, reader, listener.
Feelings embodied in art are not identical to life. They always depend on the artistic ideal, the value system. Artistic emotions are not a cast of momentary experiences, but the result of deliberation, life experience.
Perceiving a work of art, a person can experience delight, joy, admiration, shock, anger, grief, pain. But the miracle of art is in catharsis - overcoming the ordinary feeling, enlightenment, purification, elevation of the human soul. And fear, and pain, and excitement, when they are caused by art, contain something beyond what is contained in them. Psychologist L. Vygotsky wrote: "Art encourages to seek and find the main thing, to think, to worry again and again about the fate of the heroes, correlating them with their own lives."

2.1. Art around us.
"Art gives wings and takes you far - far!" -
said the writer A.P. Chekhov.
How nice it would be if someone created a device that would show the degree of influence of art on a person, society in general, and even on nature. How do painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, the quality of his life? Can this impact be measured and predicted? Of course, culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is capable, when choosing the right direction and priorities of life, to have a beneficial effect on both an individual and society as a whole.
Art is the creative comprehension of the surrounding world by a talented person. The fruits of this understanding belong not only to its creators, but to all of humanity living on planet Earth.
Immortal are the beautiful creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Raphael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarch, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. It captures the spirit when you try to grasp with your mind everything created by geniuses, preserved and continued by their descendants and followers.
In a primitive society, primitive creativity arises with a view as a way of human activity for solving practical problems. Having emerged in the Middle Paleolithic era, primitive art reached its peak about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodying a new stage in the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as the shell necklace found in South Africa, date back to 75 millennium BC. NS. and more. In the Stone Age, art was represented by primitive rituals, music, dances, all kinds of body decorations, geoglyphs - images on the ground, dendrographs - images on the bark of trees, images on animal skins, cave paintings, rock paintings, petroglyphs and sculpture. 5
The emergence of art is associated with yokes, rituals, and ceremonies, including those conditioned by mythological and magical ideas.
Now the word "art" is often used in its original, very broad meaning. This is any skill in the implementation of any tasks, requiring some kind of perfection in its results. In a narrower sense of the word, this is creativity "according to the laws of beauty." Works of art, like works of applied art,
are created according to the "laws of beauty". A work of art, like all other types of social consciousness, is always the unity of the object cognizable in it and the subject cognizing this object.
In a primitive, pre-class society, art as a special kind of social consciousness did not yet exist independently. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about a past life, with primitive geographical concepts, with moral requirements.
And then art stood out among them in a special specific kind of it. It has become one of the forms of development of social consciousness of various peoples. This is how it should be viewed.
Thus, art is a kind of social consciousness, it is an artistic content, not a scientific one. L. Tolstoy, for example, defined art as a means of exchange of feelings, opposing it with science as a means of exchange of thoughts.
Art is often compared to a reflecting mirror that reflects reality through the thoughts and feelings of the creator. Through him, this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the artist's attention, excited him.
Here one can rightfully see one of the most important specific features of art as a type of human activity.
Any product of labor - be it a tool, tool, machine or tool
life support - created for some special need. Even such products of spiritual production as scientific research may well remain accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, without losing anything in their social significance.
But a work of art can be recognized as such only on condition of universality, "general interest" of its content. The artist is called upon to express something that is equally important for both the driver and the scientist, which is applicable to their life, not only to the extent of the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the extent of their involvement in public life, the ability to be a human being, to be a person.
2.2 Man in the mirror of art.
All arts serve the greatest
from the arts - the art of living on earth.
Bertolt Brecht
Art helps to know a person. Not only to see its appearance, but also to understand its essence, character, mood.
Now it is impossible to imagine that our life would not be accompanied by art, creativity. Wherever and whenever a person lived, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means that he strove to understand and figuratively, intelligibly pass on the knowledge gained to the next generations. This is how wall paintings appeared in caves - ancient human encampments. And this was born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes already passed by the ancestors, but the transmission of the beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.
Humanity did not mark time, it progressively moved forward and higher, and the art that accompanies a person at all stages of this long and painful path developed in the same way. If you turn to the Renaissance, you admire the heights reached by artists and poets, musicians and architects. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of man in the world, where he is destined to go through his short, but wonderful, sometimes tragic path.
Art is one of the most important stages in human evolution. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each epoch, with each century, it is more and more improved by man. At all times, art has helped people develop their abilities, improve abstract thinking. Over the centuries, people have tried to change art more and more, improve it, deepen their knowledge. Art is the great secret of the world, which contains the secrets of the history of our life. Art is our history. Sometimes in it you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today, a person can no longer imagine life without reading.
a novel, without a new movie, without a theater premiere, without a fashion hit and a favorite musical group, without art exhibitions ... In art, a person finds new knowledge and answers to vital questions, and relief from the everyday hustle and bustle, and pleasure. A real work of art is always in tune with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel can talk about a distant historical era, about people, it seems, of a completely different way and style of life, but the feelings that people penetrated into everything
times, understandable to the current reader, are consonant with him, if the novel is written
a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet lived in Verona in ancient times. It is not the time and place of action that determines my perception of the great love and faithful friendship described by the brilliant Shakespeare.
Ancient creations are not the only ones that grab our attention. We constantly come across works of art in our daily life. Visiting museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that beautiful world, which is accessible at first only to geniuses, and then to others, we learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has already become a part of our everyday life.
Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Exclude all this from the life of a civilized person, and he will turn, if not into an animal, then into a robot or a zombie. The wealth of art is inexhaustible. It is impossible to visit all museums in the world, all symphonies, sonatas, operas cannot be listened to, all masterpieces of architecture cannot be reviewed, all novels, poems, and poems cannot be re-read. And to nothing. Of all the diversity, a person chooses for the soul that which is closest to him, which gives the basis for his mind and feelings.
Art makes the world of people more beautiful, lively and vibrant. For example, painting: how many old paintings have survived to our time, by which it is possible to determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings written by our contemporaries, and whatever it is: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, painting is a wonderful art, with the help of which a person learned to see the world bright and
colorful.
Architecture is another of the most important forms of art. A huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered all over the world, and they are not just called "monuments" - they contain the greatest secrets of history and the memory of them. Sometimes these mysteries cannot be solved by scientists all over the world.
Of course, in order to perceive the beauty of opera, for example, it is necessary to know its features, to understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers convey all the shades of life and feelings and affect the thoughts and emotions of the audience. The perception of poetry and the visual arts also requires some preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not developed a technique of expressive reading, if he will spend all his energy on composing words from the sounds spoken and will not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.
The effect of the means of art on a person can be caused by the long-term or long-term. Art acts not on any one human ability and strength, be it emotion or intellect, but on a person as a whole. It forms, sometimes unaccountably, the very system of human attitudes.
2.3. What is beauty?
…what is beauty
And why do people deify her?
She is a vessel, in which there is emptiness,
Or a fire flickering in a vessel
N. Zabolotsky
Each of us at least once in his life has experienced admiration for the beauty of a winter forest, a blooming garden, the sunrise over the sea, enchanting folk tunes, timeless melodies of classical compositions, fiery rhythms of modern music. Why do we understand that all this is beautiful? The answer to this question is both easy and difficult. You can say without hesitation: "I see that it is beautiful", or "I feel that everything is beautiful." But what is beauty, no one will answer for sure. After all, the understanding of beauty extends to objects, phenomena, and to the appearance of a person, and to his inner, moral essence. When we say “handsome man,” what do we mean? Correct facial features, slim figure? Or his spiritual beauty, kindness, nobility? Or maybe both together?
Human culture is based on the unity of truth, goodness and beauty. It is generally accepted that truth is the lot of science, good is religion, beauty belongs to art. However, in art, their inextricable connection appears especially clearly.
In works of art, people have long embodied their idea of ideal beauty. Through the centuries, beautiful female images have come down to us: Nefertiti, the wife of the Egyptian pharaoh, and Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, full of sorrow, the soulful face of the Mother of God and the mysteriously smiling Mona Lisa. They are all different. But each of them is an image-symbol of beauty for all time.
The art of each era strives to create an image of a wonderful person who has absorbed the best features of his time. eleven
According to the change of ideals, views, tastes of people, styles in art also changed.
Nefertiti. Legends say that never before has Egypt spawned such a beauty. She was called "Perfect"; her face adorned temples all over the country. Nefertiti played an extremely important role in religious life
Egypt of that time, accompanying a spouse during sacrifices,
priesthoods and religious festivals. She was the living embodiment of the life-giving power of the sun, giving life.
Cleopatra. The true appearance of Cleopatra is not easy to discern because of the romantic flair that surrounds her and the numerous films; but there is no doubt that she was of a manly and firm enough character to trouble the Romans. There are no reliable images that accurately, without idealization, would convey its physical appearance. But some historians note in her a lack of feminine beauty. The profiles on the coins show a woman with wavy hair, large eyes, a prominent chin, and a humped nose. On the other hand, it is known that Cleopatra was distinguished by powerful charm, attractiveness, she perfectly used this for seduction and, in addition, had a charming voice and a brilliant, sharp mind.
The ideal of Renaissance beauty. During the Renaissance, a pale complexion, a beautiful mouth, white teeth, scarlet lips and long silky locks of blond hair became canons of beauty. A slender "swan neck" and a high, clean forehead were elevated to the rank of the standard. To follow this fashion, women shaved their hair in front and plucked their eyebrows to lengthen the oval of the face, and shaved the back of their heads to make the neck appear longer. The ideal becomes calm, "healthy" beauty, which can be seen on the canvases of Titian or Rembrandt, which depicts young ladies with curly hair and a charming blush on their face. Leonardo da Vinci depicted the model of the beauty of the Middle Ages - "La Gioconda". The main mystery of the portrait is in the inexplicable expression on the face, in the incomprehensible "elusive" smile. Some consider her to be an elevated ideal of femininity and charm, to others she seems unpleasant.12
In the Middle Ages earthly beauty was considered sinful. The figure was hidden under a layer of heavy fabric, and the hair was under a bonnet. Now the ideal of a medieval woman was the Holy Virgin Mary - an elongated oval of her face, huge eyes and a small mouth.
Beauty will save the world
Dostoevsky, the greatest psychologist, a subtle connoisseur of the human soul, was right. Beauty will save the world. In our life, after all, not everything is perfect. This imperfection leads to wars and family strife, suicide and environmental disaster.
…Beauty will save the world ... But what kind? No, of course, Dostoevsky did not mean the owners of beautiful faces from the bright covers of magazines. He meant the harmony of human relations, of the human soul.
The beauty of true love, sung by Shakespeare, Remember: “... my love, like the sea, is boundless. The more I give, the more remains. "
The beauty of a person who sacrifices life for the salvation and happiness of people. Bulgakov's Yeshua and Aitmatovsky Obadiy are beautiful, because they spare neither strength nor energy, they go to death in the name of God-Tomorrow - the future renewal of mankind.
And if we talk about beauty, then how not to remember the impetuous impulses of Chekhov's Seagull and Gorky's Falcon! Isn't there nothing more attractive, more graceful and more defenseless at the same time?
Extraordinary personalities, heroes, daredevils are always beautiful. The best legends are about them.
And who, at least once in his life, did not freeze in awe of Raphael's Madonna? The beauty of motherhood, the willingness to go to any torments for the sake of your child will not leave, but I think, indifferent hearts.
“Times change, and we change with them,” as one of the ancient sages said. Time passes, and tastes change with it: today you like one thing, tomorrow you like something else. It is very difficult to find a standard that would be relevant at all times. As there is no absolute truth, so there is no absolute beauty. We can only be surprised, looking at the portraits of the beauties of the old days, and shrug our shoulders: what is “so” about them? But if there is no standard of external beauty, then there are those qualities that have been valued at all times among all peoples: kindness, mercy, love ... These are contextual synonyms for the word "beauty".
"Everything in a person should be beautiful: face, clothes and soul, and thoughts." These, which have become textbooks, Chekhov's lines refer not only to the people of his time. They are addressed to us as well. We must be beautiful, and not only when we want to be considered that way. Is always. Then, perhaps, mankind will finally cease to be afraid of wars, hunger, and environmental disasters. Because these are ugly phenomena, because everything in the Universe is interconnected, and, therefore, human beauty gives rise to the harmony of the Universe. And then, of course, beauty will save the world.
2.4. The beautiful awakens the good.
There is no living creature on earth
So tough, tough, so hellish
So that I could not, at least for one hour,
In it, the music is to make a revolution.
W. Shakespeare
Artists have always thought about the purpose of art, their gift. "And I awakened good feelings with my lyre ..." - wrote A. Pushkin. “A reliable support by inspiration was given to me from childhood in beauty,” Michelangelo said. “A beautiful verse is like a bow drawn along the sonorous fibers of our being. Not our own - our thoughts make the poet sing within us.
…He delightfully awakens in our souls and our sorrow. He's a magician. Understanding him, we also become poets like him ”- said A. France.
Art has tremendous effective power, imperceptible at first glance. Reading while watching a movie or a play, attending an art
a museum or an exhibition, listening to classical music or modern songs, a person seems to be just resting, spending leisure time. In fact, while communicating with art, immersing himself in a work of art and sympathizing with heroes and characters, he seems to be trying on other characters, various situations, gaining new experience: empathizing with positive characters, indignant when he sees injustice towards the weak and defenseless. Artistic images serve as aesthetic , which are manifested in relation to life, in the characteristics of positive and negative characters and are embodied in a variety of forms: in a heroic poem and satire, in tragedy and comedy. Art affects the mind, heart, soul of a person, restores mental and emotional balance, helping to relieve inner tension and excitement generated by real life, 15
harmonizes the inner world of the perceiving reader, listener, viewer. Real art is calm, unobtrusive, it “does not tolerate vanity”, “ art is "quiet work" (F. Schiller).
Popular culture, on the other hand, is deafening, intrusive, hectic, entertaining, easy to perceive. She so firmly entered consciousness
many people that places for high spiritual values are almost
not left. Both art and mass affect the views, tastes and perception of a person gradually, often not consciously for him.
Art is multifaceted, eternal, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental exertion, a certain work of thought. A person must want to learn to see and understand the beautiful, then art will have a beneficial effect on him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works are capable of influencing millions, and this can be beneficial or detrimental.
The practical part.
Having studied and analyzed the theoretical material of the research work, we decided to conduct a survey among 8th grade students in order to find outwhat functions does art perform, what is the role of art in human life, the relationship between man and art in society, in order to further discuss this from the point of view of a knowledgeable person.
After analyzing and processing the data obtained, we made the following conclusions and proposed our own ways of solving this issue. The children were offered a plain text questionnaire. Having received answers to this questionnaire, we learned about the attitude of the children to different types of art.
To the question"What role do you think art plays in modern human life?" The answer “big” was used by 67% of the children, “none” - 10%, “helps to live” - 23%.
"What does art teach us and does it teach us at all?"
Beauty - 70%
Understanding of life - 5%
Right actions - 2%
Broadens horizons - 23%
Teaches nothing - 0%
Art preferences were divided as follows:
Such types as cinema and music are fond of 90% of children, painting, architecture and sculpture - 10%. It seemed interesting to me that the young men prefer, or at least this is how our guys answered, to do their homework to the music, believing that it helps with homework.
All of our respondents are passionate about any kind of art and it plays a positive role in their lives.
The survey showed that the work will help people understand the significance of art and, I think, will attract many, if not to art classes, then at least arouse interest in the problem.
My work also has practical significance, because the materials can be used to prepare for an essay on literature, for oral presentations in history, literature, art lessons, and later to prepare for exams.
In the philosophical and pedagogical treatises of the past centuries, it was said about the softening and ennobling of morals under the influence of various types of arts, and I am very pleased that our guys came to such conclusions.True art should be beautiful, have a kind, humane beginning with age-old traditions.
4. Conclusion.
Art plays a vital role in our life, helps future generations to grow spiritually and morally. Each generation contributes to the development of humanity, enriching it culturally. Without art, we would hardly be able to look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, look beyond the ordinary, feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small veins, blood vessels, organs.
Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, fears - everything that each person lives with - acquire a special color and strength in creativity.
It is impossible for everyone to be creators, but it is within our power to try to penetrate into the essence of the creation of a genius, to come closer to understanding the beautiful. And the more often we become contemplators of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners to beautiful music, the better for us and those around us.
Art helps us to master science and gradually deepen our knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:
Forms in a person the ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beauty in the surrounding reality and art,
Forms the skills of using the means of art to understand the life of people, nature itself;
Develops a deep understanding of the beauty of nature, the surrounding world, the ability to preserve this beauty;
Arms people with knowledge, as well as instills skills and abilities in the field of accessible types of arts - music, painting, theater, artistic expression, architecture;
Develops creativity, abilities and skills to feel and create beauty in the surrounding life, at home, in everyday life;
Develops an understanding of beauty in human relationships, the desire and ability to bring beauty into everyday life.
So, art affects our life from all sides, makes it
diverse and bright, lively and interesting, rich, helping a person to better and better understand his purpose in this world.Our earthly world is woven from perfection and imperfection. And it depends only on the person himself how he will make his future, what he will read, what he will listen to, how he will speak.
“The best means for educating feelings in general, for awakening the feelings of beauty, for the development of creative imagination, is art itself,” the scientist-psychologist N.Ye. Rumyantsev.

Art is a part of the spiritual culture of mankind, a specific kind of spiritual and practical development of the world. Art includes varieties of human activity, united by artistic-figurative forms of reproducing reality - painting. architecture. sculpture. music. fiction. theater, dance, cinema.
In a broader sense, the word "art" refers to any form of human activity, if it is performed skillfully, masterfully, skillfully.
All the diversity of the world around us and attitude
A person to him, thoughts and feelings. ideas and representations, beliefs of people - all this is transmitted by a person in artistic images. Art helps a person to choose ideals and values. And so it has been at all times. Art is a kind of life textbook.
“Art is an eternal joyful and good symbol of man's striving for good, for joy and perfection,” wrote the famous German writer T. Mann.
Each type of art speaks in its own language about the eternal problems of life, about good and evil, about love and hate, about joy and sorrow, about the beauty of the world and the human soul, about the height of thoughts and aspirations, about comic
And the tragedy of life.
Different types of art are mutually enriching, often borrowing means of expressing content from each other. It is no accident that there is an opinion that architecture is frozen music, that this or that line in a picture is musical, that an epic novel is like a symphony. And when they talk about any kind of artistic activity, including performing skills (creativity), they often use concepts such as composition, rhythm, color. plastic, line. dynamics, musicality are common in the literal or figurative sense for different arts. But in any work of art there is always a poetic beginning, that which constitutes its main essence, its pathos and gives it an extraordinary power of influence. Without a sublime poetic feeling, without spirituality, any work is dead.

Art in the life of a modern person. Kinds of art.
Art is part of the spiritual art of humanity. Art includes painting, architecture, sculpture, music, fiction, theater, dance, cinema. All the diversity of the world around us and a person's attitude to it, thoughts and feelings, ideas and representations, beliefs of people - all this is conveyed by a person in artistic images. Art helps a person to choose ideals and values. Art is a kind of life textbook. Each type of art speaks its own language about the eternal problems of life, about good and evil, about love and hate, about joy and sorrow, about the beauty of the world and the human soul.
Artistic image - style - language.
Each time has its own face, its own image, its own melodies and rhythms. When we see the majestic Egyptian pyramids or St. Basil's Cathedral, listen to the music of Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, read epics and folk legends, the works of Shakespeare or Dumas, Pushkin or Chekhov, we are imbued with the atmosphere of bygone times, we recognize the people who lived then. Subsequent generations will better understand our time if they listen to music, read books, look at the paintings and sculptures of our era. After all, contemporary art is what our world is embodied in, we are with you. And by what is now created, descendants will judge us.
An artist and sculptor, composer and performer, poet and writer, director and actor need contact with the viewer, listener, reader, who participate in the creative process, empathize with him. To get closer to art, to enter the artist's world, to reveal for oneself the uniqueness of the creator's personality, one cannot do without understanding such categories as artistic image, style, language.
Artistic image- this is a generalized idea of reality, expressed in the language of art, an attitude towards life, towards the world around us. Revealing his inner world, the artist is always tuned in to the wave of his time with all its worries and joys, anticipating certain changes. Therefore, it becomes possible to create an artistic image of the era.
Style(from the Greek. Stylos - literally a stick for writing) means handwriting, a set of characteristic features, techniques, methods, features of creativity. In art, a distinction is made between the style of the era (historical), the national style (belonging to a particular people), the individual style of a particular artist in the broad sense of the word. Describing the style in architecture, they say that "style is an era", in other arts - in painting, music, literature - "style is a person."
Language any art helps to hear in the work the living voice of the artist, the centuries-old wisdom of the people. Expressiveness, emotionality, imagery of the language of painting and graphics, music and sculpture, poetry and dance are provided by composition, form, - texture, rhythm, tone, intensity. This is common in the language of the arts.
Moreover, each type of art speaks its own language: painting - with color, graphics - with line and spot, sculpture - with volume, music - with sound, intonation, dance - with the plasticity of gestures and movements, literature - in a word. Authors in their works, using means of expression specific to this or that art, place semantic accents, highlight the most essential. This allows them to convey to viewers, listeners, readers various feelings, convey to them the content of their works.
To learn to understand all the diversity of art, you need to understand the figurative structure of a work of art, belonging to a certain style, direction.

1. Introduction.
I chose to work on the topic "The Role of Art in Human Life" because I wanted to deepen and generalize knowledge about art. It was interesting for me to broaden my horizons and find out what functions art performs, what is the role of art in human life, in order to further discuss this from the point of view of a knowledgeable person.
I consider the chosen topic of work to be relevant, since certain aspects of the topic have not been fully studied and the research carried out is aimed at overcoming this gap. She encourages me to show intellectual abilities, moral and communication qualities;
Before starting work, I conducted a survey among the students of our school. By asking them a few questions in order to identify their relationship to art. We got the following results.

The survey showed that the work will help people understand the significance of art and, I think, will attract many, if not to art, then it will arouse interest in the problem.
My work also has practical significance, because the materials can be used to prepare for an essay on literature, for oral presentations at lessons in fine arts, MHC, and later to prepare for exams.
Target work: to prove the importance of various types of art in human life; show how art affects the formation of the spiritual culture of a person's personality; arouse people's interest in the art world.
Tasks- to reveal the essence of art, to consider the relationship between man and art in society, to consider the main functions of art in society, their significance and role for a person.
Problematic issues: How does art express the feelings of a person and the world around him?
Why do they say “that life is short, but art is eternal”?
What is art? When, how and why did art emerge?
What role does art play in a person's life and in my life?
Expected Result

2. Main part
2.1 Concept of art
"Art gives wings and takes you far - far!" -
said the writer
How nice it would be if someone created a device that would show the degree of influence of art on a person, society in general, and even on nature. How do painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, the quality of his life? Can this impact be measured and predicted? Of course, culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is capable, when choosing the right direction and priorities of life, to have a beneficial effect on both an individual and society as a whole.
Art is the creative comprehension of the surrounding world by a talented person. The fruits of this understanding belong not only to its creators, but to all of humanity living on planet Earth.
Immortal are the beautiful creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Raphael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarch, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. It captures the spirit when you try to grasp with your mind everything created by geniuses, preserved and continued by their descendants and followers.
In a primitive society, it is born with a view as a way of human activity for solving practical problems. Arising in the era , reached its heyday about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodying a new stage in the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as the shell necklace found in South Africa, date back to 75 millennium BC. NS. and more. In the Stone Age, art was represented by primitive rituals, music, dances, all kinds of body decorations, geoglyphs - images on the ground, dendrographs - images on the bark of trees, images on animal skins, cave paintings, rock paintings, and sculpture.
The emergence of art is associated with, and, including conditioned - representations.
Now the word "art" is often used in its original, very broad meaning. This is any skill in the implementation of any tasks, requiring some kind of perfection in its results. In a narrower sense of the word, this is creativity "according to the laws of beauty." Works of art, like works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". A work of art, like all other types of social consciousness, is always the unity of the object cognizable in it and the subject cognizing this object.
In a primitive, pre-class society, art as a special kind of social consciousness did not yet exist independently. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about a past life, with primitive geographical concepts, with moral requirements.
And then art stood out among them in a special specific kind of it. It has become one of the forms of development of social consciousness of various peoples. This is how it should be viewed.
Thus, art is a kind of social consciousness, it is an artistic content, not a scientific one. L. Tolstoy, for example, defined art as a means of exchange of feelings, opposing it with science as a means of exchange of thoughts.
Art is often compared to a reflecting mirror that reflects reality through the thoughts and feelings of the creator. Through him, this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the artist's attention, excited him.
Here one can rightfully see one of the most important specific features of art as a type of human activity.
Any product of labor - be it a tool, tool, machine, or means of maintaining life - is created for some special need. Even such products of spiritual production as scientific research may well remain accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, without losing anything in their social significance.
But a work of art can be recognized as such only on condition of universality, "general interest" of its content. The artist is called upon to express something that is equally important for both the driver and the scientist, which is applicable to their life, not only to the extent of the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the extent of their involvement in public life, the ability to be a human being, to be a person.
2.2. Kinds of art
Depending on the material means with which works of art are constructed, three groups of art forms objectively arise: 1) spatial, or plastic (painting, sculpture, graphics, art photography, architecture, arts and crafts and design), i.e. those who unfold their images in space; 2) temporary (verbal and musical), that is, those where images are built in time, and not in real space; 3) spatio-temporal (dance; acting and everything based on it; synthetic - theater, cinema, television, circus, etc.), that is, those whose images have both length and duration, corporeality and dynamism. Each type of art is directly characterized by the way of material existence of its works and the type of figurative signs used. Within these limits, all its types have varieties, which are determined by the characteristics of this or that material and the originality of the artistic language that follows from this.
So, the varieties of verbal art are oral creativity and written literature; varieties of music - vocal and different types of instrumental music; varieties of performing arts - dramatic, musical, puppet, shadow theater, as well as stage and circus; types of dance - everyday dance, classical, acrobatic, gymnastic, ice dance, etc.
On the other hand, each art form has generic and genre divisions. The criteria for these divisions are defined in different ways, but the very presence of such types of literature as epic, lyric poetry, drama, such types of fine art as easel, monumental-decorative, miniature, such genres of painting as portrait, landscape, still life ...
Thus, art, taken as a whole, is a historically developed system of various specific methods of artistic development of the world,
each of which has features common to all and individually unique.
2.3. Functions of art
Art has similarities and differences with other forms of social consciousness. Just like science, it objectively reflects reality, cognizes its important and essential aspects. But unlike science, which masters the world with the help of abstract theoretical thinking, art learns the world through figurative thinking. Reality appears in art as a whole, in the richness of its sensory manifestations.
Unlike science, artistic consciousness does not set itself the goal of giving any special information about private branches of social practice and identifying their regularities, such as physical, economic, etc. The subject of art is everything that is interesting for a person in life.
The goals that the author or creator deliberately and consciously sets for himself while working on a work have direction. This can be some kind of political goal, a commentary on social status, the creation of a certain mood or emotion, a psychological impact, an illustration of something, a promotion of a product (in the case of advertising), or just the transmission of a certain message.
Means of communication. In its simplest form, art is a means of communication. Like most other means of communication, it carries the intention of conveying information to the audience. For example, scientific illustration is also an art form that exists to convey information. Another example of this kind is geographic maps. However, the content of the message is not necessarily scientific. Art allows you to convey not only objective information, but also emotions, mood, feelings.
Art as entertainment... The purpose of art can be to create a mood or emotion that helps you relax or have fun. Very often, cartoons or video games are created for this very purpose.
, art for political change. One of the defining goals of early 20th century art was the creation of works that provoke political change. The directions that have appeared for this purpose, -,, Russian, are collectively named.
Art for psychotherapy. Psychologists and psychotherapists can use art for medicinal purposes. A special technique based on the analysis of the patient's drawings is used to diagnose the state of the personality and emotional status. In this case, the ultimate goal is not diagnostics, but mental health.
Art for social protest, overthrow of the existing order and / or anarchy. As a form of protest, art may not have any specific political goal, but be limited to criticism of the existing regime or some of its aspects.
2.4. The role of art in human life
All arts serve the greatest of the arts - the art of living on earth.
Bertolt Brecht
Now it is impossible to imagine that ours would not be accompanied by art. Wherever and whenever he lived, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means that he strove to understand and figuratively, intelligibly pass on the knowledge gained to the next generations. This is how wall paintings appeared in caves - ancient human encampments. And this was born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes already passed by the ancestors, but the transmission of the beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.
Humanity did not mark time, it progressively moved forward and higher, and the art that accompanies a person at all stages of this long and painful path developed in the same way. If you turn to the Renaissance, you admire the heights reached by artists and poets, musicians and architects. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of man in the world, where he is destined to go through his short, but wonderful, sometimes tragic path.
Art is one of the most important stages in human evolution. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each epoch, with each century, it is more and more improved by man. At all times, art has helped people develop their abilities, improve abstract thinking. Over the centuries, people have tried to change art more and more, improve it, deepen their knowledge. Art is the great secret of the world, which contains the secrets of the history of our life. Art is our history. Sometimes in it you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today a person can no longer imagine life without a novel he has read, without a new movie, without a premiere in the theater, without a fashion hit and a favorite musical group, without art exhibitions ... In art, a person finds new knowledge, answers to vital questions, and reassurance from the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoyment. A real work of art is always in tune with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel can talk about a distant historical era, about people, it seems, of a completely different way and style of life, but the feelings that people have been imbued with at all times are understandable to the current reader, consonant with him if the novel is written by a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet lived in Verona in ancient times. It is not the time and place of action that determines my perception of the great love and faithful friendship described by the brilliant Shakespeare.
Russia has not become a distant province of art. Even at the dawn of its emergence, she loudly and boldly declared her right to stand next to the greatest creators of Europe: "The Lay of Igor's Campaign", icons and paintings by Andrei Rublev and Theophanes the Greek, cathedrals of Vladimir, Kiev and Moscow. We are not only proud of the amazing proportions of the Church of the Intercession on Nerl and the Moscow Intercession Cathedral, better known as the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, but we also sacredly honor the names of its creators.
Ancient creations are not the only ones that grab our attention. We constantly come across works of art in our daily life. Visiting museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that beautiful world, which is accessible at first only to geniuses, and then to others, we learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has already become a part of our everyday life.
Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Exclude all this from the life of a civilized person, and he will turn, if not into an animal, then into a robot or a zombie. The wealth of art is inexhaustible. It is impossible to visit all museums in the world, all symphonies, sonatas, operas cannot be listened to, all masterpieces of architecture cannot be reviewed, all novels, poems, and poems cannot be re-read. And to nothing. Know-it-alls are actually superficial people. Of all the diversity, a person chooses for the soul that which is closest to him, which gives the basis for his mind and feelings.
The possibilities of art are multifaceted. Art forms intellectual and moral qualities, stimulates creativity, and promotes successful socialization. In ancient Greece, the visual arts were considered as an effective means of influencing a person. The galleries exhibited sculptures that personified noble human qualities ("Mercy", "Justice", etc.). It was believed that, contemplating beautiful sculptures, a person absorbs all the best that they reflect. The same applies to the paintings of the great masters.
A group of researchers led by Professor Marina de Tommaso from the University of Bari, Italy, found that beautiful paintings can reduce pain, writes the Daily Telegraph today. Scientists hope that the new results will convince hospitals and hospitals to be more concerned with decorating their rooms.
In the course of the study, a group of people, both their men and their women, were asked to look at 300 paintings by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, as well as select 20 paintings from them that they find the most beautiful and most ugly. At the next stage, the subjects were shown these pictures or did not show anything, leaving a large black wall for pictures free, and simultaneously hit the participants with a short laser pulse comparable in strength to touching a hot frying pan. It has been found that when people see pictures they like, pain is three times less intense than when they are forced to look at an ugly picture or a black wall.
Not only children, but often adults too, are unable to cope with their emotions. We live by the rules, we force ourselves with constant "It is necessary, it is necessary, it is necessary ...", forgetting about our desires. Because of this, an internal discontent arises, which a person, being a social being, tries to keep in himself. As a result, the body suffers, because a negative emotional state often leads to various diseases. Creativity in this case helps to relieve emotional stress, harmonize the inner world and achieve mutual understanding with others. Of course, this can be not only drawing, but also applications, embroidery, photography, modeling from matches, prose, poetry and much more, one way or another related to art.
The question of how literature affects a person, his behavior and psyche, what mechanisms lead to peculiar experiences and, as a consequence, to a change in a person's personal characteristics when reading a literary work, has occupied the minds of many scientists and researchers from ancient times to the present. Fiction, giving knowledge of reality, expands the mental horizons of readers of all ages, gives an emotional experience that goes beyond what a person could acquire in his life, forms artistic taste, delivers aesthetic pleasure, which occupies a large place in the life of a modern person and is one of his needs. But most importantly, the main function of fiction is the formation of deep and stable feelings in people, prompting them to think through, define their worldview, direct behavior personality.
Literature is for people a school of feelings and cognition of reality and forms an idea about the ideal actions of people, about the beauty of the world and relationships. The Word is a great mystery. Its magical power lies in the ability to evoke vivid images, to transport the reader to another world. Without literature, we would never have learned that once upon a time there lived a wonderful person and writer Victor Hugo or, for example, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. We would not know anything about the time when they lived. Thanks to literature, we become more educated, we learn the history of our ancestors.
The influence of music on a person is great. A person hears sound not only with his ears; he hears the sound with every part of his body. Sound permeates his whole being, and in accordance with a certain influence slows down or accelerates the rhythm of blood circulation; either excites the nervous system or calms it down; awakens in a person stronger passions or pacifies him, bringing him peace. A certain effect is produced according to the sound. Therefore, knowledge of sound can provide a person with a magical tool for directing, tuning, controlling and using life, as well as helping other people with the greatest benefit. It is no secret that art can heal.
Isotherapy, dance therapy, music therapy are already common truths.
The scientist Robert Schofler, the creator of musical pharmacology, prescribes to listen to all the symphonies of Tchaikovsky, Schubert's "Forest Tsar", Beethoven's ode "To Joy" for therapeutic purposes. He claims that these works contribute to an accelerated recovery. And researchers at the University of California have experimentally proved that after 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's music, tests showed an increase in the IQ of students by 8-9 units.
But not all art heals.
For example: Rock music - causes the release of stress hormones, which erase some of the information in the brain, cause aggression or depression. Russian psychologist D. Azarov notes that there is a special combination of notes, he called them killer music. Having listened to such musical phrases several times, a person has a gloomy mood and thoughts.
Bell ringing kills quickly:
typhoid bacteria
viruses.
Classical music (Mozart and others) contributes to:
general reassurance
increase in milk secretion (by 20%) in nursing mothers.
The rhythmic sounds of some performers, through a direct effect on the brain, contribute to:
release of stress hormones
memory impairment
weakening (after 1-2 years) of the general condition (especially when listening to music with headphones).
Mantra, or meditative sounds "om", "aum", etc., have a vibrating character.
Vibrations initially promote the activation of certain organs, brain structures. At the same time, many different hormones are released into the blood. (This probably helps to do monotonous work with less energy).
Vibrating sounds cause
contributes to a sharp rise in blood pressure,
often leading to heart cramps.
pleasure - for some people, for others - the same sounds cause
stress reaction with the release of hormones and a sharp increase in oxidative metabolism.
In the literary sources of antiquity, we find many examples of the purposeful influence of music on the mental state of people. Plutarch says that Alexander the Great's fits of frenzied anger were usually pacified by playing the lyre. The mighty Achilles, according to Homer, tried, playing the lyre, to cool his "famous" anger, which begins the action in the Iliad.
It was believed that music saves from inevitable death when bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions. As an antidote in these cases, music was widely recommended by one of the most famous physicians of Ancient Rome, Galen. Nirkus, a companion of Alexander the Great on his campaigns, having visited India, said that in this country, teeming with poisonous snakes, singing is considered the only remedy for their bites. How can we explain the miraculous effect of music? Studies of our time have shown that music in such cases acts not as an antidote, but as a means of eliminating mental trauma, it helps the victim to suppress the feeling of horror. This is just one example when the health and even life of a person largely depends on his state of mind. But even this particular example allows one to judge how great the role of the nervous system in the body is. It must be taken into account when explaining the mechanism of the impact of art on human health.
Even more striking is the effect of music on emotions. The influence of music on emotions was known in ancient times. Music was used for medicinal purposes and in war. Music acts both as a means of distracting from thoughts that disturb a person, and as a means of calming and even healing. Music plays a great role as a means of fighting overwork. Music can set a certain rhythm before starting work, tune in to deep rest during a break.
Art makes the world of people more beautiful, lively and vibrant. For example, painting: how many old paintings have survived to our time, by which it is possible to determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings written by our contemporaries, and whatever it is: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, painting is a wonderful art, with the help of which a person has learned to see the world bright and colorful.
Architecture is another of the most important forms of art. A huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered all over the world, and they are not just called "monuments" - they contain the greatest secrets of history and the memory of them. Sometimes these mysteries cannot be solved by scientists all over the world.
Of course, in order to perceive the beauty of opera, for example, it is necessary to know its features, to understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers convey all the shades of life and feelings and affect the thoughts and emotions of the audience. The perception of poetry and the visual arts also requires some preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not developed a technique of expressive reading, if he will spend all his energy on composing words from the sounds spoken and will not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.
The effect of the means of art on a person can be caused by the long-term or long-term. This emphasizes the great possibilities for using art in order to obtain a persistent and long-lasting effect, using it for educational purposes, as well as for general health improvement and prevention. Art acts not on any one human ability and strength, be it emotion or intellect, but on a person as a whole. It forms, sometimes unaccountably, the very system of human attitudes.
The artistic genius of the famous poster by D. Moor "Have you signed up as a volunteer?" Those. the power of art consists in appealing to the human conscience, awakening its spiritual abilities. And on this occasion, you can cite the famous words of Pushkin:
Burn the hearts of people with the verb.
It seems that this is the true purpose of art.
2.5 Life is short, art is eternal.
Art is eternal and beautiful, because it brings beauty and goodness to the world.
A person is presented with very strict requirements and art must reflect these requirements. Artists of classicism were equal to classical samples. It was believed that the eternal is unchanging - therefore, one must learn from the Greek and Roman authors. Knights, kings, dukes very often become heroes. They were convinced that truth creates beauty in art - therefore, a writer must imitate nature and portray life believably. Rigid canons of the theory of classicism appear. The art scholar Boileau writes: "The incredible is not capable of touching, let the truth always look believable." The writers of classicism approached life from the standpoint of reason, they did not trust the feeling, they considered it changeable and deceitful. Accurate, reasonable, truthful and beautiful. "You need to think about the thought and only then write."
Art does not become obsolete. In the book of the academician philosopher I.T. Frolov wrote: “The reason for this is the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character, which is ultimately conditioned by the constant appeal to man. The unique unity of man and the world in a work of art, "human reality". The renowned Danish physicist Niels Bohr wrote: "The reason why art can enrich us is its ability to remind us of harmonies beyond the reach of systematic analysis." In art, problems are often highlighted for all mankind, "eternal": what is good and evil, freedom, human dignity. The changing conditions of each era force us to solve these issues anew.
Art is multifaceted, eternal, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental exertion, a certain work of thought. A person must want to learn to see and understand the beautiful, then art will have a beneficial effect on him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works are capable of influencing millions, and this can be beneficial or detrimental.
Let me give you a simple example. For example, an artist painted a picture. The painting depicts negative scenes of murder, everywhere there is blood, dirt, the most chaotic, harsh tones are used, in short, the whole picture acts depressingly on the viewer, causing negative emotions in a person. The energy comes from the picture is extremely depressing. So much for the complete interconnection of the artist's thinking with the physical creation of the picture and, accordingly, the viewer or spectators looking at it ... Imagine thousands, tens of thousands of such depressing pictures. The same can be said about our cinema. What cartoons do our children watch, not to mention adult films? And in general, now there is not even such a prohibition "Up to 16" as in the 70s. Continuous "negativism" ... Imagine how much negative energy in the country, in the world, on the whole Earth! .. The same can be said about all types of our art!
“Thinking together with action brings about change. If they are noble, then they liberate, save, promote prosperity. enrich. If they are base, then they enslave, impoverish, weaken, destroy. If the propaganda of violence, the cult of strength, evil steps on our screens, we will perish after the unlucky heroes of these one-day militants.
True art should be beautiful, have a kind, humane beginning with age-old traditions.
3. Conclusion.
Art plays a vital role in our lives, helping future generations to grow morally. Each generation contributes to the development of humanity, enriching it culturally. Without art, we would hardly be able to look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, look beyond the ordinary, feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small veins, blood vessels, organs.
Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, fears - everything that each person lives with - acquire a special color and strength.
It is impossible for everyone to be creators, but it is within our power to try to penetrate into the essence of the creation of a genius, to come closer to understanding the beautiful. And the more often we become contemplators of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners to beautiful music, the better for us and those around us.
Art helps us to master science and gradually deepen our knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:
Forms in a person the ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beauty in the surrounding reality and art,

Our earthly world is woven from perfection and imperfection. And it depends only on the person himself how he will make his future, what he will read, what he will listen to, how he will speak.
“The best means for educating feelings in general, for awakening the feelings of beauty, for the development of creative imagination, is art itself,” the scientist-psychologist N.Ye. Rumyantsev.
