What is art for? This is a question that many of us struggle to answer because we always ask ourselves: “is“Is there a specific answer to this question?” In Jeannette Winterson’s article, she explains what art means to her. Furthermore, Jeannette digs deeper and reveals her stories of how she began to learn more about books despite her mother’s disapproval of them. The beauty of art is that it can be portrayed in many forms such as paintings, music and even living things like an oak tree in your backyard. Art is different for all of us which makes it that much more special. In our modern world that we live in, money has become the central part of our daily lives. So much of what we do depends on how much money we make and what we spend it on. However, Jeannette emphasizes that the world of art allows us to escape from the money culture that we live in and finally allows us to start developing who we are.
