3. Reading practice

Art plays an important role in our life as it makes us think about significant problems and things, happening around us. It excites human mind and does not leave us indifferent. All kinds of art enrich our inner world and give us new knowledge about surrounding world. In works of art we see the author`s point of view on some situations or generalized knowledge of the creator, expressed with the help of artistic images. We can agree or disagree with the author`s opinion because each person has his own vision of the world and there is no right or wrong opinion - so many men, so many minds. The influence of art on people is great. It can make us smile or cry, love or hate, be glad or be worried. Art is an imaginative reflection of reality, the main goal of which is interrelation of people with something wonderful, sensitive, interesting and beautiful, sometimes even unexplainable and contradictory. Naturally, cinema, painting, architecture and other kinds of art should arouse different emotions, feelings and thoughts in human soul and mind. The same work of art can stir up absolutely opposite feelings in people`s souls. For example, looking at the fresco "Last Judgment" by Michelangelo, the splendid and talented creator of the Renaissance era, in the Sistine Chapel, some people admire the beauty of conveyed images, other people think about the idea of world division into saints and sinners, someone thinks about the correlation between good and evil and this consequence of emotions and thoughts can be endlessly continued.

 I should say that irrespective of kind of art and its personal perception, it occupies a very important place in our life. Art is also an essential part of life and it has a direct influence on us.
