Imagine a place where everything is gray, bland and colourless, staring at a grey wall at home, at hallways everywhere. That’s how the world will be without art. Hi I’m Valerie I’m here to tell you why art is so important to me.

Art inspires people by showing a message in an understandable way. Art makes you think about Reduce ,Reuse, Recycle more or to go against bullying and cyberbullying. Why should be think about these? Peoples feelings matter too, yes you’re lucky it’s not you but how would you like it if you were the one being bullied? And littering the environment would cause global warming which is dangerous for the world and us.

Another reason is Art helps people understand what’s going on in the world. Before TV art was used to tell stories. In the stone age they used to draw on the cave walls to tell other people stories and what’s going on in their lives. In times of war Art was used to send a message to your enemies or your loved ones. Without it we wouldn’t know what the people back then did as all the paintings from that time are a records of how life was lived. A famous artist and inventor called Da Vinci sketched things to design them and to think about how it will work. Without art these inventions would never been made.

You can express your feelings through Art like when you’re angry you can sketch something then throw it out afterwards. Art expands your imagination to see the world from a different dimension or perspective. Everything needs colour or our life could be very dull.  Art is everything, it makes people around us happy because of the bright, vivid colours, it’s beautiful and peaceful to look at.

The best part is you don’t have to be good at it! Sure you can draw and have fun with it and the more you draw the better you’ll get. It doesn’t have to be pretty as long as some people can understand it, kids and adults of all age can draw, just let your imagination run wild!

This is just a few of the many reason why art is important to me. I can’t imagine a world without art in it and I am so glad I don't have to. One piece of advice for you today is slow down and take a good look around you at all the amazing art that is in our lives. You won’t regret it.

Hi guys! ValRV here and I'm here to post my speech so everyone can see
