Art

It goes without saying that art is a great power. Different works of art have been created to please the eye and to excite emotions.

Belarus is a talented nation. It has given birth to many outstanding people in different spheres of life. Belarusian writers and poets have made a great contribution to the world literature. The names of Yanka Kupala, Yakub Kolas, Adam Mitskevich and Vasil Bykov are world famous.

The Belarusian vocal groups “Pesnyary” and “Verasy” have been a great success in Europe.

The most famous Belarusian artists Marc Chagall and Kazimir Malevich are among the greatest painters of the world. Marc Chagall was born in a poor family in Vitebsk. He began to paint in his childhood. But he painted his best pictures in Paris. He developed his own unique style of art. Chagall mixed strong and bright colours with fantasy and religion. Chagall’s works are in the biggest art galleries of the world.

There are a lot of jobs connected with art: make-up artists, fine artists and many others. But I think that the job of a designer is very demanded nowadays. Fashion designers influence everything that we wear. Graphic designers have well-paid job working on their computer.Interior designers decorate houses and flats.

Art always says something. But there are a lot of people who don’t understand modern art, especially graffiti. Graffiti is illegal but it can be seen everywhere. Such companies as “Coca Cola”, “McDonald’s” use graffiti to promote their products among young people.
