"The Whole Ball of Wax"

Art in fact can change the world. It has the ability to influence people's thoughts and ideas. It allows them to describe the world around them, such as when the first cave paintings were created. As Saltz said in his article, "Art is a bridge to a new vision and the vision itself, a medium or matrix through which one sees the world, and that grants that pleasure is an important form of knowledge. Art is not optional; it is necessary. It is part of the whole ball of wax" (Saltz). It in fact does provide bridges between people who are completely different and different visions. For example, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French. This allowed us to form a relationship with the French and build connections with them. I believe that art is very necessary and that it is a form of knowledge just like Saltz said.
