Art can be defined as the art of making special designs for various objects found naturally in nature and increasing their value. An artist is one who, by mastering such art and using it, further enriches the life of mankind. An artist's perspective on objects is different from others, and using that perspective, giving a different form to the available objects and enhancing their use, October 25 is considered as International Artists' Day to commemorate and honor artists who give them respect.
When we look back at the pages of history, we find that the famous Cubist painter Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1981. In memory of such a great artist, with a view to remembering the talents of all artists and further encouraging their love of art, the idea of recognizing the talents of artists is being considered on this day all over the world.
A neglected rock lying at the foot of a hill or in a field, when it comes into the hands of a common man, it is broken into pieces and made into marble and used for buildings. But when it comes to an ordinary artist, it can be made into a staircase leading to a temple. The same stone can blossom into an idol of God in the hands of a talented artist. A stone that had previously fallen as a stone in the soil of Mandya is now being worshipped as Shri Rama in a temple in Ayodhya. This can be said to be the skill of an artist who has mastered the science of sculpture and stone carving. Similarly, a rainbow in the sky gives us pleasure for only a few moments, but when an artist captures it and shapes it on paper, that beauty remains forever.
A naturally grown bamboo can be turned into a flute in the hands of an artist and play hundreds of sacred melodies. Although ordinary people use coconut pulp for cooking and then throw its pulp into the kitchen, when an artist gets hold of it, he spreads the skin on it, attaches a small stick to it, ties strings to that stick, and turns it into a pulp instrument, captivating the audience. Most of us must have seen this image at fairs or festivals.
We may have seen artists in Kodagu on the day of festivals who cut bamboo that grows abundantly in the forest, find it, and then artistically assemble these pieces and make baskets. We may have also seen some girls who bring colored powders and spread it in front of temples or in front of the house as rangoli during some religious festivals to enhance the beauty of the house. In Kodagu too, artists such as painters, flute players, dancers, actors, singers, etc. are revealing their inner talents.
On this day, local artists can be recognized and their work and creativity can be recognized. They can create admiration for art and its importance among the public. They can increase awareness about such arts for the next generation. They can organize exhibitions of artists' art. They can identify famous dancers and musicians and put their dance in front of the people and listen to music and utilize this day. They can also organize discussion groups about these arts that make life more enjoyable in schools and colleges. Folk artists can be invited and their arts can be displayed publicly and they can also inspire the coming generations about these arts.
In these days when we are caught up in modern technology and everything is discovered by machines, it is very sad that the respect and encouragement that artists should get is declining. We can create the picture we like in a few moments with the help of artificial intelligence. We can also create our favorite music through this. However, it is also a harsh truth that the satisfaction and contentment that comes from the art that is physically produced can never be found in the art that emerges through artificial intelligence.
Overall, this day can only be meaningful if we do the work of encouraging the art of artists and strengthening their lives.
