7 Form: Suggested Introduction and Conclusion (ARTS)

            I would like to start by saying that there are a lot of kinds of arts: literature, music, dancing, painting and drawing, sculpture, architecture, theatre, cinema and others. Russia is famous for its great literature, visual arts, cinema, a high standard of theatre and ballet. Moscow is connected with music and ballet, St Petersburg with literature.

            The early primitive art began in prehistoric times. Speaking about prehistoric art we usually mean early dancing and the first drawings that prehistoric people made. All primitive people all over the world made music of some sort. It was usually music that had some religious meaning. When it was performed, the spectators usually danced, drummed or clapped hands and sang to the music. 

            Speaking of ancient art we usually mean Greek theatre and singing and Greek and Roman architecture. By Renaissance art we usually understand the visual arts, theatre and literature of this period. When we speak about classical art we usually mean the arts of the 18^th and 19^th centuries, and by modern art we understand the arts of this century. ...

            In conclusion I can say that arts brighten people’s lives. They teach us to understand life and people better and to admire beauty. There’s a popular English saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, and I truly believe so. As I said, I personally like music, it helps me unwind after a tiring day; arts help people relax and enjoy their lives. Without arts our world would be quite a dull place, wouldn’t it.
