Art involves different kinds of activities such as drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dancing, acting, etc. It is a form of language, and a way of expressing our thoughts and emotions through its aesthetics. Throughout history, various cultures, such as those of dynasties, religions, states, social groups, tribes, etc. have added characteristics to their existence through their use of art- and we know much about them today thanks to that!

If I were an artist from a different period, I would engage in creating paintings that portray life in that era- how people lived, what they did for a living, how they entertained themselves, society, religion, and many more aspects of life. I would portray the various nuances of living in general and draw inspiration from those around me. The everyday experiences of the people would be the source of my creativity. Through my art, I would demonstrate the value of human existence and how civilizations functioned. If I find myself in a positive environment, I would appreciate and cherish it by dedicating an artwork to it. If I notice something morally wrong, I would protest against it through my art. I would use my works to convey my ideas and opinions to masses, attempting to spread awareness. Lastly, I would try to use it as a powerful tool to pass the knowledge of the past to the future generations.
