What is the importance of humanities/ arts?

Humanistic knowledge continues to provide the ideal foundation for exploring and

understanding the human experience. Investigating a branch of philosophy might get you thinking

life affected her creative decisions. Reading a book from another region of the world might help

you think about the meaning of democracy. Listening to history course might help you to have a

future holds.

artists such as paint, pigment, or color) to a solid surface (such

can also be used. The final product is also called painting.

 Loved by most people today, music and dance

are an art form and cultural activity.

Music includes vocal and/or instrumental sounds blended in such
