It is the communication of intimate concepts that cannot be faithfully portrayed with words alone. Art is the expression or application of human creativity and imagination. Whether it's a poem, a doodle or a musical, art, in all its forms, captures ideas, transmits emotions, reveals experiences and reveals perspectives that reflect individual and collective circumstances. It's one of the best ways to release emotions.
Put some paint on a Jackson Pollock-style canvas. Or explore some experimental sounds on musical tracks like Björk. You don't have to rely on pre-existing art forms. You might be surprised at how free you feel.
It's crucial that teens have the opportunity to express themselves using their inherent creativity. Self-expression through art has been shown to alleviate stress and significantly reduce anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.

While some artists use their tools as a means to show their ancient roots, others use art as a response to political issues, this is known as art as activism or simply artivism.
Art is meant to be as the artist wants it to be, and art could be a reaction to outrage against established systems. Waters has continued to use art as an escape route into his adulthood and, although he doesn't follow any specific rules, he constantly puts into art what he feels at the time. If you're obsessed with staying “safe” with art or worried about what others think your art should be, you'll end up not revealing much about yourself.
