Global Arts

         

 

Art is described in Culture as that thing which is not necessary

for life or sustenance, but that pleases the senses.

If you consider the affect of the Arts, they are

aesthetically necessary for the Human spirit.

For many, life without Art would be very dull, for some meaningless.

Human Art has many forms, but when you consider it on a Global Scale,

when you combine the numbers of people and countries

who create Art, it is a considerable subject to address.

The web sites soon to be found on this page will explore

the many Regions of Global Art.
