Art is an enriching and highly effective tool in public involvement. The
creative methods and processes of art production can help people understand
concepts and ideas in a totally different way. An understanding of cultural
uniformity, educational concepts and sectoral relevance in society can be
understood better through collaboration and art. When making art, individuals
interact with their own unique view point and this brings greater appreciation
and understanding of ideas, and if appropriately considered, this could improve
society. Art making is also an excellent way of documenting social experience.
We live in the digital age, this will inevitably bring social change and we can
explore how this affects us through visual means. It’s important that we
document social change through the Arts. Visual methods are also a very
effective way of helping people who may struggle with mental health address
psychological issues. Sometimes a visual approach works best in explaining
individual perspectives.
