Art has been and will continue to be an essential part of our life， which reflects where we have been and where we are going.
There are several reasons for such a claim to be made. To begin with， art， since time began， has been used as a means of expression and communication. It is a vehicle that allows us to tell others about our feelings， thoughts or beliefs， and learn about those of others. Without art， our human nature will be restrained， which means we will have no freedom to show and share our inner worlds. Another reason that underpins art’s crucial role is that art， in its different forms， is a source of inspiration and creativity for us. Whether we look at the paintings of Van Gogh or read the novels of Dostoevsky or listen to the songs of Bob Dylan， we will always be touched by their profound meanings and beauty， and inspired by their sincerity and truthfulness.
The fact that art is an intrinsic feature of our life， as elaborated above， renders itself indispensable to us and it will stay with us for ever.
