Why do people make art?

Why do people make art? A better question is why wouldn't they? Art is a hidden message, a map, your emotions on paper. Art is a stress reliever, a time consumer, a talent, a passion, a profession, and a hobby. Each person might have a different reason as to why they make art. These things that I have listed above all are reasons. If your having a bad day art is a safe way to relax you and make you feel better. In the beginning of time they didn't know what was going on outside with the animals and the only way to understand was by drawing with the resources given. In this case art gives the people an answer. There's no correct explanation to this question because every person you ask will give you a different answer. I personally, love art because of the satisfaction you get when you draw something that looks good and the way the clay feels going around the wheel in ceramics. Overall its the passion and the love of art which is why people in fact make it.
