ART IS NOT USELESS - DR. ASIT KUMAR MAITY

CHILDREN FIRST LEARNING

All Art aims portraying an authentic picture of life from the point of view of the artist. But an Artist has an important function. He has a moral duty.The business of the artist is not just to show, but also to give a message. A good painting,sculpture, book or musical composition should leave a lasting impression on the mind and the sole. It should acquaint us with the meaning of life, its joys and sorrows,ups and down and,thereby,instill courage in us to face it with equanimity. An Artist is a student of life. He dispassionately expose incongruities of life and arouses emotions in the hearts of his admirers and uplifts them from their petty preoccupations. When we hear an enchanting piece of music, it lifts our sprites. For sometime we forget our worries and anxieties.Thus, art not only pleases us, it also teaches and touches us. It helps us to rise above our narrow minded thoughts and tame the brute instincts inherent in our mental make up. It makes us aware of a higher meaning of life. Therefore, Art is not useless, it is purposive.

Art, in its many forms, exists in every community, every culture, and every country. Art has been created since time began, evidenced in cave paintings and rock art, and in today's world we know that art can be a major economic force, yet we continue to question the worth of art.

Often I have heard someone dismiss a work of art by saying, "I could do that" or "I don't understand it". Perhaps not placing value on something that we ourselves could make or expecting things to be easily understood speaks to the loss of thoughtfulness and creativity in our world and only magnifies our need for the arts.

SELF PORTRAIT BY DR.ASIT KUMAR MAITY

I believe we need Art Everyday because Art gives me a lot. Art is like a language,like a healing, Art tells Our story, Art control our Natural Human Behavior, Art share our Mind and heard work reflection.

I have noticed among my students that they are coaching in the morning and then coaching before returning home school, they didn't get time to play and didn't get time to create something new by their own. 

Every parents wants my son/daughter to excel in all subjects. They didn't focused children's hobbies or their aims. 

Many of Students says - 

"School in general is so stressful. This is the one lesson I look forward to every week because I know it's not going to majorly stress me out." - Student.

"Creative is critical thinking and without it how are you going to open up and ask harder questions? Art open up those. Possibilities to think beyond what we already know."-Student.

Again and again we forgot every children first learning process is like many art forms hatching, cross hatching, rubbing, stripling, scrubbling. 

Then they started "ankri", "kukri","anri","dari","kosi". Any kind of hand writing of any language have to needed these four style of art.

So, don't say art is useless. be understand by the art what we can be  learn.
