Artists need a certain amount of freedom to develop their creativity. some people think that artists should have total freedom to express any thoughts and ideas. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

However, some believe that an artist must never be subjected to any rules and must be allowed creative expression without any restriction. I feel art must be genuine, which is possible if artists express it without worry or constraint, but it is necessary to define boundaries. The following paragraphs will describe why it is not advised to offer absolute freedom to anyone.

Art refers to a pure expression of one’s thoughts and imagination. A creative expression may go against norms, so one needs a certain amount of liberty to express original thoughts. Absolute autonomy can give birth to mesmerizing and soul-stirring pieces of art. However, in this civil society, there must be a restriction on anything threatening someone’s dignity or safety. It has been observed in the past a few artists initiated significant controversy when they painted some deities in objectionable ways. This action hurt the sentiments of the followers of a specific religion leading to violent resistance. Thus, creators must cease to create anything that could hurt religious or other sentiments.

We live in a civil society. Not just artists, no one can have absolute autonomy, for it is against the basic structure and sanctity of society. It becomes all the more vital because an artist is a generally sensitive individual, so they fail to follow norms or ignore the practical aspects of life. Thus, rules and regulations and stringent implementation of the same are necessary to ensure harmony and respect for the system of a societal unit.

Finally, art and artists add much value and beauty to our lives, yet it is vital in human civilization to define clear boundaries for everyone, including creative individuals.
