It is with no doubt that the credit for the advancement of human civilization from the stone age to the digital era that we live in today can be accounted to the developments in science and technology. However , our intellectual development can only be attributed to myriad art forms be it in the past or present.
Technology may have made homo sapiens superior to any living being on earth but it is unequivocal that it is art which makes us all humane. Regions across the world are united by ballads , different kinds of dance forms, exemplary literature etc . Although we all be significantly different from one another , we all come together to appreciate the beauty of art as art and its beauty is universal . The benefits bestowed on us by technology may be numerous such as it has made cross country trade easier , communication faster , developed social standards in general although what still remains in this modern era is the primitive art forms which dates back to millions of years ago and still holds its place in today’s world.
Art makes us ponder on various issues such as misery , love , genocide ,beauty etc which makes us rethink our whole values which forms the whole basis of our existence . A presentation on World War II may be made available by a desktop and transmitted to a wide range of people via the internet where by the statistics of the number of people who died and the places of where each mishap happened can be stated as facts However in order to invoke in the minds of people the feelings of hardships and suffering that was faced by those Jews back then could only be conveyed maybe by a film , a musical composition or a book written on it.
Therefore as much as we can go on and on about how technology has transformed the way how we live what we must not forget is that it is art which makes us stay grounded to our roots from where we came from and makes living worthwhile.

The world has seen a lot of changes & transformation since the ‘Renaissance Man’ to the present age ‘Information Man’. Science and technology have not left even the Moon untouched but the one common thing that has remained constant and lingered around is the world of ‘Art’.

Over the years science and technology has shown the world many advancements. Be it the invention of electricity or the internet, or the development of vaccines to advanced medicines but one thing which art can teach us, which science and technology can never do and that one thing is telling us about life.

Art can teach us many valuable lessons of life. It tells us about how varied has been our culture. This is well demonstrated and documented in the performing arts over the years. Art teaches us about values, principles and ethics in life which no science or technology can teach us. Through the ancient scriptures and dance forms we have been able to get a glimpse of our ancient history and civilisations, the way of life during the golden era, an era which has taught us many values which are prevalent even to this day. Had it not been for ‘Arts’, human race would have long wiped them and forgotten them.

The symphonies of yester years are cherished even now. Famous symphonies of Beethowen have not lost their relevance till now. Such soothing music, which is again a piece of art tells us to slow down and enjoy every moment of the this wonderful life.

It is said that painting can be a great stress buster. If we had forgotten this beautiful expression in our mad race to advancements, we would have by now become robots and not remained humans. I firmly believe that it is only due to ‘Arts’ which has kept the ‘Human’ in us alive so far.

Thus to conclude I would like to reiterate that ‘Art’ can teach us many valuable life lessons which ‘Science and technology’ cannot and hence the importance of ‘Art’ in our lives.
