“Life is short, art is eternal” (Antique aphorism) (USE social science). Composition “Life is short, but art is eternal

17.04.2019

According to an ancient aphorism, "life is short, art is eternal." This statement raises the problem of the constant importance of art in life. According to the aphorism, art will always exist, despite dozens of generations. One cannot but agree with the statement. Indeed, art will accompany a person always and everywhere, despite the events that take place.

Art is a practical human activity aimed at creating aesthetic values. The main subject of art is a person, his relationship with the outside world and other people. The types of art are theater, painting, architecture, cinema, sculpture, etc.

There are many examples of the "eternity" of art. The Tretyakov Gallery was founded in Moscow in 1856 and is still open today.

It contains the best works paintings that were created long before the opening of the gallery itself. These are portraits of personalities who played a big role in the history of our country, and icons of Saints, and pictures of nature. All of them are still popular among people.

Art was not forgotten during the Great Patriotic War. It was during this period that D. D. Shostakovich created his seventh symphony in his native Leningrad. When the city was already occupied by the Germans, Shostakovich finished his work. In the summer of 1942, a concert was held at the Leningrad Philharmonic. The symphony was broadcast on the radio, and all the inhabitants of Leningrad heard it. She instilled confidence and hope in people to defeat the enemy.

These examples are proof that despite the difficulties, art will live forever in the hearts of people.

In life, in nature and in culture, there are two oppositely directed forces, centrifugal and centripetal.
Centrifugal force ( centrifugal force) is the force running from the center

centripetal force ( centripetal force) is the force tending to the center

Fratricidal wars are going on all over the world, and man dreams of universal brotherhood.

There are about seven thousand languages ​​in the world, and man is still trying to create common language, which everyone would understand, or find the remains of the parent language.

And among the many forms of art they want to find at least one, universal ( music, for example).

Psychologists like to ask these questions to their patients when they test them. mental capacity:
“Which do you tend to be more inclined to believe that all people are different or that everyone is the same?”

In Marcel Proust, in one of his novels, the hero cannot stay under the same roof with a woman for a long time. She sees this and leaves.
After a while, the man realizes that he misses her. He calls her, she comes. Through a short time all repeats. They both see everything, but they can do nothing.
What is it that keeps them?

And both of these forces: run away ( centrifugal force) and stay ( centripetal force).

And the center, of course, he is a favorite.

Such is the life inside vicious circle (circulus vituosus).

Is there a way out of it?
Tricky question.

And we will return to the language.
centrifugal force = Centri+fugal

fuga– fugo āvī, ātum, āre – put to flight (f. hostes); drive away (aliquem a Cumis; ira pietatem fugat, iramque pietas)

fugaciousquickly disappearing, fleeting, short-lived, transient, transient

the fugacious nature of life and time - transience of life and time

Musicians know how fluid the fugue is.
So, centrifugal force- centrifugal force(remember the word 'fugue').

centripetal force= centri+petal(imagine a flower with petals)

If you carefully read everything and passed it through yourself, and even told someone in English, then you will never forget this.

And this is a gift:

In Ars longa, vita brevis. Hippocrates

Common Latin saying Ars longa, vita brevis or Vita brevis, ars longa most often translated as Life is short, art is forever.

Sun. Anthology of Philosopher's Stones (? - how to translate correctly?). Approximately the second half of the 16th century / Collectanea de Lapide Philosophiae. C. 2nd half of the 16th century. Origin: England. Language: Latin, English, Greek. Dimensions in mm: 150 x 100 (140 x 75). paper codex. The British Library. Sloane 1171, f. 100v. Sun.

There are options:
Art is long, life is short.
Art is long, life is short.
Art is long-term, life is short.
Art is long - life is short.
Life is short, science is vast.
Life is short, art is vast.
Art is long-lived, but life (of a person) is short.

But, this is an incorrect understanding of the phrase, at least not entirely correct.

I prefer translation:
The path of art is long, but life is short - it more accurately conveys the meaning.


You can also:
The path of science is long, life is short.
Life is short, science is immense.
The field of science is limitless, and life is short.

Ink drawing with washes of the sun and a dragon, in the Collectanea de Lapide Philosophiae. C. 2nd half of the 16th century. Origin: England.

Vita brevis, ars longa - the Latin form of the beginning of the "Aphorisms" of Hippocrates (c.460-c.370 BC) - the "father of medicine", the great ancient Greek thinker, naturalist, doctor, founder of modern medical ethics. [Hippocrates. Aphorisms, I, 1]. Hippocrates was talking about the art of healing.

In antiquity, science and art were combined into one concept. The ancient Greek word techne /τέχνη /techne corresponds to the Latin ars. IN Latin there were no differences between the concepts of "art" and "science": their meaning was conveyed by the word "ars" - an integral doctrine that formulates and codifies practical rules.

Speaking of "art", Hippocrates had in mind, of course, not artistic creativity, but medicine. The meaning of this comparison is that the art of healing is so complex, it requires so much knowledge that even a whole human life is not enough to comprehend them.

“Hence,” explained the Roman Stoic philosopher Lucius Annei Seneca in his work “On the Brevity of Life,” the famous exclamation of the greatest of physicians that life is short and art is long.” [Seneca "On the Transience of Life", I, 1]. Thanks to Seneca, the saying was fixed in Latin form.

In the original, the thought of Hippocrates sounds like this: Life is short, the path of art is long (another translation: science is immense), chance is fleeting, experience is deceptive, judgment is difficult / lat. Vita brevis, ars vero longa, occasio autem praeceps, experientia fallax, judicium difficile / Gr. Ὁ βίος βραχύς ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή ὲ κρίσις χαλεπή..

The expression became popular after Johann Wolfgang Goethe repeated it in his tragedy "Faust" in the form: "Art is durable, but our life is short":

Faust
But I want!

Mephistopheles
I understand it;
I'm afraid for one thing, in one only my protest:
Ars longa, vita brevis est.

Faust
And I will master everything.

Mephistopheles
Commendable.
But life is unfortunately short
And the path to perfection is long,
Need an assistant hand.

[Goethe, Faust. Part I, scene 1.]

The words of the ancient Greek doctor - about brevity separate life; only scientific knowledge, passed down from generation to generation, prolongs this life. Behind Hippocrates there were more than ten generations of Asclepiads, professional priests of medicine. And after Hippocrates, 2.5 thousand years have passed.

Be that as it may, in all options translation Vita brevis, ars longa questions about what life is short does not occur. For life is short, science and art are limitless, chance is shaky, experience is deceptive, judgment is difficult.

    Conclusion

    Literature

1. Introduction.

I chose to work on the topic “The Role of Art in Human Life” because it was interesting for me to broaden my horizons and find out what functions art performs, what is the role of art in human life, in order to further discuss this from the point of view of a knowledgeable person.

I consider the chosen topic of the work to be relevant, since certain aspects of the topic have not been fully studied and the study is aimed at overcoming this gap. It encourages me to show intellectual abilities, moral and communicative qualities.

Before starting work, I conducted a survey among the students of our school. By asking them a few questions in order to reveal their relationship to art. We got the following results.

Total people surveyed.

    What role do you think art plays in modern human life?

    What kind of art do you do or are you passionate about?

Passionate %

    Have there been times when art has played a role in your life?

Yes %

No %

The survey showed that the work will help people understand the significance of art and, I think, will attract many, if not to art, then it will arouse interest in the problem.

This work is also of practical importance, because the materials can be used to prepare for an essay on literature, for oral presentations in the lessons of fine arts, MHC, and later to prepare for exams.

Target work : prove significance various kinds art in human life; show how art influences the formation of the spiritual culture of a person's personality; arouse people's interest in the world of art.

Tasks- reveal the essence of art, consider the relationship between man and art in society, consider the main functions of art in society, their significance and role for a person.

Problematic issues : How does art express human feelings and the world around?

Why is it said that “life is short, but art is eternal”?

What is art? When, how and why did art appear?

What role does art play in a person's life and in my life?

Expected Result

After getting acquainted with my work, more high level development of emotional and value attitude to the world, phenomena of life and art; understanding the place and role of art in people's lives.

2. Main body

2.1. The concept of art

“Art gives wings and takes you far, far away!” -
said the writer

How nice it would be if someone created a device that would show the degree of influence of art on a person, society as a whole, and even on nature. How do painting, music, literature, theater, cinema affect human health, the quality of his life? Can this impact be measured and predicted? Of course, culture as a whole, as a combination of science, art and education, is capable of choosing right direction and priorities of life to beneficially influence both individual person and on society as a whole.

Art is a creative understanding of the surrounding world by a talented person. The fruits of this reflection belong not only to its creators, but to all mankind living on planet Earth.

Immortal are the beautiful creations of ancient Greek sculptors and architects, Florentine mosaic masters, Raphael and Michelangelo ... Dante, Petrarch, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. It captures the spirit when you try to embrace with your mind everything created by geniuses, preserved and continued by their descendants and followers.

IN primitive society born with a view as a way of human activity to solve practical problems. Originating in the era , reached its peak about 40 thousand years ago, and was a social product of society, embodying a new stage in the development of reality. The oldest works of art, such as the shell necklace found in South Africa date back to 75 millennium BC. e. and more. In the stone age, art was introduced primitive rites, music, dances, all kinds of body decorations, geoglyphs - images on the ground, dendrographs - images on the bark of trees, images on animal skins, cave painting, rock paintings, and sculpture.

The appearance of art is associated with, and, including conditioned - representations.

Now the word "art" is often used in its original, very broad meaning. This is any skill in the implementation of any tasks that require some kind of perfection of their results. In the narrower sense of the word, this is creativity"according to the laws of beauty." Artworks artistic creativity, as well as works of applied art, are created according to the "laws of beauty". A work of art like all other kinds public consciousness, is always the unity of the object cognized in it and the subject cognizing this object.

In a primitive, pre-class society, art as a special kind of social consciousness did not yet exist independently. It was then in unity with mythology, magic, religion, with legends about a past life, with primitive geographical ideas, with moral requirements.

And then art stood out among them in its special specific variety. It has become one of the forms of development of social consciousness various peoples. That is how it should be considered.

Thus, art is a kind of consciousness of society, it is - artistic content and not scientific. L. Tolstoy, for example, defined art as a means of exchanging feelings, contrasting it with science as a means of exchanging thoughts.

Art is often compared to a reflective mirror that reflects reality through the thoughts and feelings of the creator. Through him, this mirror reflects those phenomena of life that attracted the attention of the artist, excited him.

Here one can rightly see one of the most important specific traits art as a form of human activity.

Any product of labor - be it a tool, a tool, a machine or a means of maintaining life - is created for some special need. Even such spiritual products as Scientific research, may well remain accessible and important for a narrow group of specialists, without losing anything in their social significance.

But a work of art can be recognized as such only under the condition of universality, "general interest" of its content. The artist is called upon to express something that is equally important for both the driver and the scientist, which is applicable to their life activity not only to the extent of the peculiarities of their profession, but also to the extent of involvement in public life, the ability to be a person, to be a person.

2.2. Kinds of art

Depending on the material resources, with the help of which works of art are constructed, three groups of art forms objectively arise:

1) spatial, or plastic (painting, sculpture, graphics, art photography, architecture, arts and crafts and design), i.e. those that deploy their images in space;

2) temporary (verbal and musical), i.e. those where images are built in time, and not in real space;

3) spatio-temporal (dance; acting and all based on it; synthetic - theater, cinema, television art, variety and circus, etc.), i.e. those whose images have both length and duration, corporality and dynamism.

Each type of art is directly characterized by the way of the material existence of its works and the type of figurative signs used. Within these limits, all its types have varieties, determined by the characteristics of this or that material and the resulting originality of the artistic language.

Yes, varieties verbal art are oral creativity And written literature;

types of music - vocal and different types instrumental music;

varieties of performing arts - drama, music, puppet, shadow theater, as well as stage and circus; types of dance household dance, classical, acrobatic, gymnastic, ice dance, etc.

On the other hand, each art form has a generic and genre division. The criteria for these divisions are defined in different ways, but the very existence of such types of literature as epic, lyric, drama, such types of fine arts as easel, monumental-decorative, miniature, such genres of painting as portrait, landscape, still life is obvious ...

Thus, art, taken as a whole, is a historically established system of various specific ways of artistic development of the world,

each of which has features common to all and individually peculiar.

2.3. Functions of art

Art has similarities and differences with other forms of social consciousness. Just like science, it objectively reflects reality, cognizes its important and essential aspects. But unlike science, which explores the world with the help of abstract-theoretical thinking, art cognizes the world through figurative thinking. Reality appears in art as a whole, in the richness of its sensual manifestations.

Unlike science, artistic consciousness does not set itself the goal of giving any special information about particular branches of social practice and identifying their patterns, such as physical, economic, etc. The subject of art is everything that is interesting for a person in life.

Those goals that the author or creator intentionally and consciously sets for himself when working on a work have a direction. It may be some kind of political goal, comment social status, creating a certain mood or emotion, psychological impact, illustrating something, promoting a product (in the case of advertising) or simply conveying a message.

    Means of communication. In its simplest form, art is a means of communication. Like most other forms of communication, it carries the intention of conveying information to the audience. For example, scientific illustration is also an art form that exists to convey information. Another example of this kind is geographic Maps. However, the content of the message is not necessarily scientific. Art allows you to convey not only objective information, but also emotions, mood, feelings.

    Art as entertainment. The purpose of art may be to create a mood or emotion that helps to relax or have fun. Very often, cartoons or video games are created for this very purpose.

    , art for political change. One of the defining goals of art in the early 20th century was the creation of works that provoked political change. The directions that have appeared for this purpose, -,, Russian, - are collectively referred to as.

    Art for psychotherapy. Psychologists and psychotherapists can use art for healing purposes. A special technique based on the analysis of the patient's drawings is used to diagnose the state of the individual and the emotional status. In this case, the ultimate goal is not diagnosis, but the improvement of the psyche.

    Art for social protest, overthrow of the existing order and/or anarchy. As a form of protest, art may not have any specific political purpose, but be limited to criticizing the existing regime or some aspect of it.

2.4. The role of art in human life

All kinds of arts serve the greatest of the arts - the art of living on earth. Bertolt Brecht

Now it is impossible to imagine that ours would not be accompanied by art,. Wherever and whenever he lived, even at the dawn of his development, he tried to comprehend the world around him, which means he sought to understand and figuratively, intelligibly pass on the knowledge gained to the next generations. This is how wall paintings appeared in caves - ancient camps of man. And this was born not only by the desire to protect their descendants from the mistakes already passed by their ancestors, but by the transfer of the beauty and harmony of the world, admiration for the perfect creations of nature.

Mankind did not stagnate, it progressively moved forward and higher, and the art that accompanies man at all stages of this long and painful path also developed. If you turn to the Renaissance, you admire the heights that artists and poets, musicians and architects have reached. The immortal creations of Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci still fascinate with their perfection and deep awareness of the role of man in the world, where he is destined to go through his short, but beautiful, sometimes tragic path.

Art is one of the most important steps in human evolution. Art helps a person to look at the world from different points of view. With each epoch, with each century, it is more and more improved by man. At all times, art has helped a person develop his abilities, improve abstract thinking. For centuries, man has tried to change art more and more, to improve it, to deepen his knowledge. Art is the great mystery of the world, in which the secrets of the history of our life are hidden. Art is our history. Sometimes in it you can find answers to those questions that even the most ancient manuscripts cannot answer.
Today, a person can no longer imagine life without a read novel, without a new movie, without a premiere in the theater, without a fashionable hit and beloved musical group, without art exhibitions… In art, a person finds both new knowledge and answers to vital important questions, and calm from the daily hustle and bustle, and enjoyment. A real work of art is always in tune with the thoughts of readers, viewers, listeners. The novel can tell about a distant historical era, about people, it seems, of a completely different way and style of life, but the feelings that people have been imbued with at all times are understandable to the current reader, consonant with him if the novel is written by a real master. Let Romeo and Juliet live in Verona in ancient times. Not the time or place of action determines my perception great love and faithful friendship, described by the brilliant Shakespeare.

Russia has not become a distant province of art. Even at the dawn of its appearance, it declared loudly and boldly about its right to stand next to the greatest creators Europe: "The Tale of Igor's Campaign", icons and paintings by Andrei Rublev and Theophan the Greek, cathedrals of Vladimir, Kyiv and Moscow. We are not only proud of the amazing proportions of the Church of the Intercession on Nerl and Moscow's Intercession Cathedral, better known as St. Basil's Cathedral, but we also sacredly honor the names of the creators.

Not only ancient creations attract our attention. We are constantly confronted with works of art in Everyday life. By visiting museums and exhibition halls, we want to join that beautiful world, which is available at first only to geniuses, and then to the rest, we learn to understand, see, absorb the beauty that has already become a part of our ordinary life.

Pictures, music, theater, books, films give a person incomparable joy and satisfaction, make him sympathize. Get it all out of your life civilized man, and he will turn, if not into an animal, then into a robot or a zombie. The wealth of art is inexhaustible. It is impossible to visit all the museums of the world, not to listen to all the symphonies, sonatas, operas, not to review all the masterpieces of architecture, not to re-read all the novels, poems, poems. Yes, and nothing. Know-it-alls actually turn out to be superficial people. From all the variety, a person chooses for the soul what is closest to him, which gives ground to his mind and feelings.

The possibilities of art are multifaceted. Art forms intellectual and moral qualities, stimulates Creative skills contributes to successful socialization. In ancient Greece, fine arts were seen as effective remedy impact on a person. Sculptures were exhibited in the galleries, personifying the noble human qualities(“Mercy”, “Justice”, etc.). It was believed that, contemplating the beautiful statues, a person absorbs all the best that they reflect. The same applies to the paintings of the great masters.

A group of researchers led by Professor Marina de Tommaso from the University of Bari, Italy, found that beautiful pictures may reduce pain, the Daily Telegraph writes today. Scientists hope that the new results will convince hospitals and hospitals to care more about decorating the rooms in which the sick are.

In the course of the study, a group of people, consisting of both their men and their women, were asked to look at 300 paintings by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, and to select from them 20 paintings that they found the most beautiful and the ugliest. At the next stage, the subjects were shown these pictures or nothing, leaving a large black wall for pictures free, and at the same time hit the participants with a short laser pulse, comparable in strength to touching a hot frying pan. It was found that when people watch pictures they like, the pain feels three times less intense than when they are forced to look at ugly pictures or a black wall.

Not only children, but often adults are not able to cope with their emotions. We live by the rules, we force ourselves to constant "We need, we need, we need ...", forgetting about our desires. Because of this, internal discontent arises, which a person, being a social being, tries to keep in himself. As a result, the body suffers, because negative emotional condition often leads to various diseases. Creativity in this case helps to relieve emotional stress, harmonize the inner world and achieve mutual understanding with others. Of course, it can be not only drawing, but also appliqués, embroidery, photographing, modeling from matches, prose, poetry and much more, one way or another related to art.

The question of how literature affects a person, his behavior and psyche, what mechanisms lead to peculiar experiences and, as a result of this, to a change in a person’s personal characteristics when reading literary work, has occupied the minds of many scientists and researchers from ancient times to the present. Fiction, giving knowledge of reality, expands the mental horizons of readers of all ages, gives an emotional experience that goes beyond what a person could acquire in his life, forms an artistic taste, delivers aesthetic pleasure, which in life modern man occupies a large space and is one of his needs. But most importantly, the main function of fiction is the formation of deep and stable feelings in people that encourage them to think through, determine their worldview, and guide their behavior. personality.

Literature is for people a school of feelings and knowledge of reality and forms an idea about the ideal actions of people, about the beauty of the world and relationships. The word is a great mystery. His Magic force is the ability to evoke vivid images take the reader to another world. Without literature, we would never have known that once upon a time there lived wonderful person and the writer Victor Hugo or, for example, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. We would not know anything about the time when they lived. Thanks to literature, we become more educated, learn the history of our ancestors.

The influence of music on a person is great. Man hears sound not only with his ears; he hears the sound with every pore of his body. The sound permeates his whole being, and according to certain influences slows down or speeds up the rhythm of the circulation of the blood; either excites the nervous system or calms it down; awakens in a person more strong passions or pacifies him, bringing him peace. A certain effect is produced according to the sound. Therefore, the knowledge of sound can give a person a magical tool for managing, tuning, controlling and using life, as well as helping other people with most useful. It is no secret that art can heal.

isotherapy, dance therapy, treatment with music - these are already common truths.

The creator of musical pharmacology, scientist Robert Schofleur, prescribes for therapeutic purposes to listen to all the symphonies of Tchaikovsky, Schubert's The Forest Tsar, Beethoven's ode to Joy. He claims that these works contribute to an accelerated recovery. And researchers at the University of California experimentally proved that after 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's music, tests showed an increase in the IQ of students by 8-9 units.

But not all art heals.

For example: Rock music - causes the release of stress hormones, which erase part of the information in the brain, cause aggression or depression. Russian psychologist D. Azarov notes that there is a special combination of notes, he called them killer music. After listening to such musical phrases several times, a person has a gloomy mood and thoughts.

bell ringing quickly kills:

    typhoid bacteria

    viruses.

Classical music (Mozart, etc.) contributes to:

    general calm

    increased milk secretion (by 20%) in nursing mothers.

The rhythmic sounds of some performers, due to a direct effect on the brain, contribute to:

IN literary sources In ancient times, we find many examples of the purposeful influence of music on the mental state of people. Plutarch says that Alexander the Great's fits of furious anger were usually pacified by playing the lyre. The mighty Achilles, according to Homer, tried, by playing the lyre, to cool his "famous" anger, from which the action in the Iliad begins.

There was an opinion that music saves from inevitable death when bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions. As an antidote in these cases, music was widely recommended by one of famous doctors ancient rome Galen. Nirkus, a companion of Alexander the Great in his campaigns, having visited India, said that in this country, abounding with poisonous snakes, singing is considered the only remedy for their bites. How to explain the miraculous effect of music? Studies of our time have shown that music in such cases does not act as an antidote, but as a means of eliminating psychic trauma, it helps the victim to suppress the feeling of horror. This is just one of the examples where the health and even life of a person largely depend on his state of mind. But this one too separate example allows you to judge how big the role nervous system in organism. It must be taken into account when explaining the mechanism of the impact of art on people's health.

Even more striking is the effect of music on emotions. The influence of music on emotions has been known since ancient times. Music was used for medicinal purposes and in war. Music acts both as a means to distract from thoughts that disturb a person, and as a means of calming and even healing. Great importance music plays as a means of combating overwork. Music can set a certain rhythm before starting work, set you up for a deep rest during a break.

Art makes the world of people more beautiful, alive and bright. For example, painting: how much has come down to our time vintage paintings, which can be used to determine how people lived two, three, four or more centuries ago. Now there are many paintings painted by our contemporaries, and whatever it is: abstraction, realism, still life or landscape, painting is a wonderful art, with the help of which a person has learned to see the world bright and colorful.
Architecture- one of the most important types of art. A huge number of the most beautiful monuments are scattered all over the world, and they are not just called "monuments" - they contain greatest secrets history and memory. Sometimes these mysteries cannot be unraveled by scientists around the world.
Of course, to perceive beauty operatic art, for example, you need to know its features, understand the language of music and vocals, with the help of which the composer and singers convey all the shades of life and feelings and influence the thoughts and emotions of the listeners. The perception of poetry and fine arts also requires some preparation and appropriate understanding. Even an interesting story will not capture the reader if he has not developed a technique. expressive reading, if he spends all his energy on composing words from pronounced sounds and does not experience their artistic and aesthetic influence.

The effect of the means of art on a person can be caused by long-term or perspective. This emphasizes the great possibilities for using art in order to obtain a lasting and long-lasting effect, using it for educational purposes, as well as for general health improvement and prevention. Art does not act on any one human ability and strength, whether it be emotion or intellect, but on the person as a whole. It forms, sometimes unconsciously, the very system of human attitudes.

The artistic genius of D. Moor's famous poster "Have you signed up as a volunteer?", which was so widely promoted during the Second World War, lies in the fact that it appeals to the human conscience through all the spiritual abilities of a person. Those. the power of art lies in this, to appeal to the human conscience, to awaken its spiritual abilities. And on this occasion, we can quote the famous words of Pushkin:

Burn people's hearts with the verb.

I think this is the true purpose of art.

2.5. Life is short, art is forever.

Art is eternal and beautiful, because it brings beauty and goodness to the world.

Man has very strict requirements and art must reflect these requirements. The artists of classicism were equal to classical models. It was believed that the eternal is unchanging - therefore, one must learn from the Greek and Roman authors. Heroes very often become knights, kings, dukes. They were convinced that truth creates beauty in art - therefore, the writer must imitate nature and depict life believably. Rigid canons of the theory of classicism appear. The art historian Boileau writes: “The incredible is not capable of touching, let the truth always look believable.” The writers of classicism approached life from the position of reason, they did not trust feelings, they considered it changeable and deceitful. Accurate, reasonable, truthful and beautiful. “You need to think about the thought and only then write.”

Art never gets old. In the book of academician philosopher I.T. Frolov wrote: “The reason for this is the unique originality of works of art, their deeply individualized character, ultimately determined by the constant appeal to a person. The unique unity of man and the world in a work of art, "human reality". The famous Danish physicist Niels Bohr wrote: “The reason why art can enrich us lies in its ability to remind us of harmonies that are beyond the reach of systematic analysis". Art often highlights universal, “eternal” problems: what is good and evil, freedom, human dignity. The changing conditions of each era force us to re-solve these issues.

Art is many-sided, eternal, but, unfortunately, it cannot influence people without their will, mental effort, a certain work of thought. A person should want to learn to see and understand the beautiful, then art will have a beneficial effect on him, society as a whole. This will probably be in the future. In the meantime, talented creators should not forget that their works can influence millions, and this can be beneficial or harmful.

I will give a simple example.

For example, an artist painted a picture. The picture depicts negative scenes of murder, blood and dirt are everywhere, the most chaotic, harsh tones are used, in short, the whole picture acts depressingly on the viewer, causing in a person negative emotions. The energy coming from the picture is extremely depressing. So much for the complete interconnection of the artist's thinking with the physical creation of the picture and, accordingly, the viewer or viewers looking at it ... Imagine thousands, tens of thousands of such depressing paintings. The same can be said about our cinema. What cartoons do our children watch, not to mention films for adults? And in general, now there is not even such a ban "Up to 16", as in the 70s. Solid "negativism"... Imagine how much negative energy in the country, in the world, on the whole Earth!.. The same can be said about all types of our art!
“Thoughts combined with actions lead to change. If they are noble, then they liberate, save, promote prosperity. enrich. If they are base, then they enslave, impoverish, weaken, destroy. If the propaganda of violence, the cult of power, evil steps onto our screens, we will perish after the unlucky heroes of these one-day militants.

True art must be beautiful, have a good, humane beginning with centuries-old traditions.

3. Conclusion.

art plays essential role in our lives, helping future generations to grow morally. Each generation contributes to the development of mankind, enriching it culturally. Without art, we would hardly be able to look at the world from different points of view, in a different way, to look beyond the ordinary, to feel a little sharper. Art, like a person, has many small veins, blood vessels, organs.

Passions, aspirations, dreams, images, fears - everything that every person lives by - acquire a special color and strength.

It is impossible for everyone to be creators, but it is in our power to try to penetrate into the essence of the creation of a genius, to come closer to understanding the beautiful. And the more often we become contemplators of paintings, architectural masterpieces, listeners of beautiful music, the better for us and those around us.

Art helps us master the sciences and gradually deepen our knowledge. And as mentioned above, it is an essential part of human development:

- forms a person's ability to perceive, feel, correctly understand and appreciate the beautiful in surrounding reality and art

- forms the skills of using the means of art to understand the life of people, nature itself;

- develops a deep understanding of the beauty of nature, the surrounding world. the ability to preserve this beauty;

Arms people with knowledge, and also instills skills and abilities in the field of accessible arts - music, painting, theater, artistic word, architecture;

Develops creative abilities, skills and abilities to feel and create beauty in the surrounding life, at home, in everyday life;

- develops an understanding of beauty in human relationships, the desire and ability to bring beauty into everyday life.

So, art affects our life from all sides, makes it diverse and vibrant, lively and interesting, rich, helping a person understand his destiny in this world better and better. Our earthly world is woven from perfection and imperfection. And it depends only on the person himself how he will make his future, what he will read, what he will listen, how he will speak.

« The best remedy for the education of feelings in general, for the awakening of the senses of beauty, for the development of creative imagination, is art itself,- pointed out the scientist-psychologist N.E. Rumyantsev.

Life is short, my friends! Alas. Alas...
Years are grains of sand in a narrowed hourglass.
And the caravan carries seconds across the steppe,
With his imperturbable march - in the day, at night.
I ride the horse of fate, and without a saddle,
Wrapped in black lies, blankets of the night.
My mind is clear to me - your love is gone,
But, not mine, you know, our union is strong!
Let me tremble forever in sunny fire,
Not to be, I'm a spark, from a fire, in the desert.
And, flying into the sky, became sand, in the wall,
I won't offend anyone. I swear! From now on...

Life is short by the flow of sand in hours,
But if the caravan carries these seconds
With his imperturbable march, then
You definitely understand the infinity of light.

I ride the horse of fate, but without a saddle,
Wrapped up like a lie - a veil of night,
It is clear to my mind - your love is gone,
But, not mine, believe me, my brain is juicy from pain.

Let me tremble forever in solar fire,
Not to be, like sparks from a fire in the desert,
They were swallowed by the sky, I am the sand in the wall,
And I won't offend anyone, I swear, from now on.

Chela will touch time with his hand,
Furrows the forehead with a trace of wrinkles.
Surrounded by Heaven will be a tribute,
And the Beast, and the slave, and the master.

People's law and the Law of God,
Always different from each other.
Worldly to the truth - only similar,
He serves the people as a bridle.

We do not know the laws of God
Will not convey their inertness of words.
In the darkness of their lies we wander,
Having crucified His sons among us.

Scale of Eternity of the Universe,
We are unable to comprehend the mind.
And measuring everything with your measure,
Reality is distorted in it.

Life is short and time is a hand...

And he said that for evolution, the value of each
doy personality, undeniable, even if it is not
real and very imaginary, and the measure gave

no, she loved him, or pretended to, seemed
or simply, laughed in the face, at him, (at the pro-
wandering, she, measure), scoffed. And own-
but what's wrong with that? The uncertainty principle
"skok", fables, particles, no one could determine
pour immediately, it ...

Youth has flown by!
Yes! In the steppe, the beauty of the Don, drove off ...
Yesterday curls in the steppes developed!
Yes! The beauties around were smiling.
And today there is gray hair in the temples ...
Yes! In the soul of life, fear breaks through!
The politician in the world cannot calm down,
Strives for supremacy on the planet.
The arms race was insanely driven ...
Trillions were driven into it everywhere!
Although not everyone on the planet lives well,
Many citizens are dying in begging.
Since the arms race has gained momentum!
Know on the planet...

Mom, life is short
This sky is not calling me!
I, indulging my flaws,
I will wait for the supreme fire!

After all, I brought someone only grief,
Someone got angry from hot words.
I loved the sparkling dawns
And blue sky cover.

I strove for happiness - what to hide something?
It seemed to me that joy is so close! ..
But my family, sisters, brothers
They just twisted their fingers at their temples.

Therefore, my dear mother,
I can only tell you
Now I'm not stubborn at all
That I want to come home again.
