Why is the Life of an Artist necessary in Art appreciation?

Art is the right reason of doing something. So, people who appreciates the art of an artist would really be curious of what is the reason of this artist to make such particular art. This happens to talk straight-through to the life of this artist that made him and be inspired of creating new which we called art. Furthermore, the life of the artist is another hint for the people seeing the art to understand truly what the artist is trying to point out.

Just for an example on my personal experience. I do not have passion for art but I can be an artist anytime, anywhere that I want. Everyone can be an artist though some are unaware of that. Before going far, sometimes teachers ask us to do special activities like drawing, poem, acting, dance or sing etc. which are actually an art. All of this activities are based on what we feel, see, believe, and has experienced. Such instance when my teacher asked me and my classmates to interpret and draw who is God and what is His role in our life. Of course, I interpreted Him out of what I felt that moment and had experienced so far with Him in my life. Therefore, my life has an impact to others that made my teacher and my classmates understand and appreciate what I’m trying to interpret in the drawing.

Another one, there was a person who had no shoes neither slippers on. Because of that deficiency, he thought of making shoes for himself which later on has been sold and hit the market. This lackness of shoes pushed him and inspired him to create this art that would feed his need. And this kind of art is out of one purpose, to wear something on the feet. In his story, you will reallize the worth of his art and how important it is to the artist.
