Art is very commonly used to decorate places. Why? There are many reasons. First, Art looks nice. It doesn’t matter what kind of a picture, painting, sketch, sculpture it is, it will look nice. Without any artistic item in your room, any pictures or paintings on your wall, it’s a very boring place. Art will live it up. It will make the area interesting to look at. You will be proud calling the area your room, or office. You won’t get bored looking at the same blank, plain wall every day. It will interest you. Every morning you look at the wall, or area, it will wake you up; start your mind thinking, contemplating the piece of art. It’s a good start to every day. It looks nice, makes you proud, wakes you up, starts you thinking, what’s the down side? Nothing.
Art is also very commonly used to personalize a piece of wall, or a certain amount of area. If you are an artist yourself, you will probably like to decorate your home or room with your creations. It makes the room yours. Completely and utterly yours. No one will have items like that in their homes, it can’t be found in a store, and no one else can call it their own. It is not an idea stolen, bought or borrowed, it’s an idea created. Whenever someone walks in your room, or office, you can explain the walls and area completely, because you understand what you created. It’s yours, and out on display for everyone to see-but not to take.
You can alsorepresent yourself through art. It doesn’t have to be something you created-though it can be. Put up posters of your favourite celebrities. Nail up copies of your favourite paintings. Paste up pictures of you and your family/friends. Make it your personal collage. Many people decorate their home to reflect their personality. Colours mean what they think of themselves. Pictures and items are labelled to tell the world, what is important to them. When someone takes one look into their room, office, home, the first thought that should come to their mind, is the person. That is how deep and clear the message of their representations should be.
There are many reasons why people use art to decorate places, but the bottom line is, art is about YOU. It can show every aspect of someone, with one look. Whether you choose to leave blank walls up anywhere you go, or you choose to decorate it, leave a splash of colour, post up a picture, pin a picture, the choice is really yours. Art is a great path to go, whether you choose to welcome it or not, that is up to you.
