The primary purpose of Creative Arts is to express feelings and ideas or tell a story. They are often seen as entertainment or amusement but can also be used to teach lessons or relay messages. The value of Creative Arts lies in their ability to stimulate the imagination and creativity of both the creator and the observer.

They can communicate emotions that cannot be easily expressed through words alone. In addition, creative arts can be a form of therapy, providing an outlet for stress and anxiety. Whether used for amusement, education, or self-expression, the creative arts serve a purpose in our lives.
