Art is an imitation of life; it is anything a person perceives. In the same way, this perception of things is influenced by a number of external factors reflecting social beliefs, political stand and economic changes. But what these conditions alter is not the nature or meaning of art itself; rather, it’s on how art is interpreted.
From its primitive roots, art has evolved into an array of genre that fit the changing lifestyle of people from various timelines. We see the emergence of contemporary artworks that depict violence, norms, and patterns of everyday living. These are apparent in music, movies, print-ads and in a variety of works of art. Art as we know it today is no different than the art of the past—life captured, life imitated. We simply base our interpretations of life with what are happening around us; and we show these through arts.
No matter what our social, political or economic inclination will be, art will always fashion itself to suit that; but all-the-same, it remains to be an imitation of life.
