If we were to end However, art and music are the ways in which humans express their very souls. If we were to end art and music, then the world would be dead and all civilization would fall into turmoil. Art does have a reason for being. It is the expression of creativity and can come in handy all the time. Some people might become scientists. What if a person wants to be an artist or a musician as an adult?
