Art in the Community

When art becomes a social practice it brings people together. Even if we aren't all artists we all have a creative side. Our creative sides will all be different so when they are combined onto one mug, for example, it will become a whole new work of art. Passing around the mugs will allow us to meet and learn about different people. The art community and english communities will intermingle and this will bring better understanding of each other and better communication. This could also be put onto a scale larger than Clemson. Art brings expression of ideas and feelings that might not previously be expressed. The art might allow us to see concepts or ideas in a different way as well. This could, in time, bring more compromise among leaders and have for a better nation.
