Art is arguably one of the most important aspects of our lives. It’s responsible for every distinct culture, and is a part of our lifestyle. It’s something that we take for granted some times because it can be found virtually anywhere. It can be graffiti on a brick wall, a performer on the street, a painting created by a child, or a poem scribbled in a notebook. Without art there would be no uniqueness or distinction between individuals.
This broadway was a great musical that dealt with the issues of racism, love, and the American Dream. It is quite comical and very colorful. I enjoyed this very much.

Yes it is, or at least in my life. It is a creative outlet that lets our mind think outside of science and “the right way.” It is especially important to me because I love music, dance, theater, and visual arts. They can create emotions that other things can’t like when I’m performing, nothing else in the world can compare to it. I feel like if we didn’t have art, we wouldn’t be as creative and everything in the world would be very plain and boring. Everything we do has to have some creativity in it.
A place where we can find the latest and most popular songs. With a variety of channels, our exposure to different types of music could expand perpetually.

A place to record your deepest secrets, experiences, or anything you wish. No one to talk back, no one to judge. It can be considered many people's sanctuary, or something to turn to when no one else is there. In other cases, it can be used as a way to document specific daily activities, such as sleep and exercise. Over time, what we consider our own personal diary in which we record our present life could become a significant historical document.
