As an art student this form of expression has been one that has always had a positive effect on my life whether it be from a song, a poem, movie or any other visual piece. Art in my opinion is what has made me find various ways in which I can express who I am and my perspectives in various mediums, or its a way for me to just relax and escape, for me personally that's just takig some time out of my day to draw or listen to music. I think especially because of times in which we live in now when more and more civilians are taking the time to address all the issues within society and are all using at least one form of art to depict their messages, and I a teen growing up within this time have been exposed to many viewpoints that has lead me to become a more open minded member of our society while still valuing my own individuality and the ways in which I can express myself whether it be out there or much more discreetly with something that people are open to interpret.

Purpose of art is to unite those within a society while still providing a sense of individuality in order for them to express themselves freely in ways other than direct communication, a way for them depict different aspects of who they are, all of which are open for different peoples interpretations. Art is also a way to display the human condition and influence our identities as individuals and our roles within our society as well as the ways we perceive certain topics and issues in today's world in order for us to broaden our perspectives, as art itself is a catalyst for human perceptions and change.
Art is able to convey and express various messages for many purposes and reasons. One example being the way it is used for political propaganda which then influences the way that we think and vote. Art also has many forms that each influence society in both similar and different ways. It might be the lyrics in a song, a play in a theatre, or a visual art piece, that induces multiple reactions from the selected audience causing them to be think about or change their perspectives on certain situations. The arts are also a way to unify the people within a society by connecting them with others they understand or who they feel understand them as well as people who can open up their minds more. The media, which may or may not be considered a form of art or rather a collection of platforms for art to be shared, also plays a major role in the shaping of society as it is what depicts the societal laws and is used as a form of social commentary, and because it so widespread it can influence many individuals in terms of the ways they perceive themselves and others as well as causing them to evaluate the world in which we live in.
