The arts are a large part of culture, and the word means much more than "art". Art is about connecting with people’s emotions. It’s personal and at the same time, universal. It influences society by changing opinions, teaching values, reflecting culture, and translating experiences across space and time. Art and crafts describe a wide variety of activities involving making things with one's own hands. Art and crafts are usually a hobby. Some crafts (art skills) have been practiced for centuries, others are more recent inventions. Some different types of art are animation, architecture, calligraphy, ceramics, computer, artistic design, drawing, graphic, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and New Media (an art form which came about in the 1960s, as artists started to do with developing technology in their art-making). Actually, Art is valued in many different ways, and for many different reasons. The main reason why art is valued is for its material value, its religious value, its nationalistic value, and its cultural value. We have to recognize the huge value of art to society. If we didn't have art then our world would be colorless. * Skim the passage and choose the best topic : “………………………….”
