p Why Art In Saudi Arabia Lost Its Value

Our world is surrounded by art . All forms of living and non-living things are surrounded by art . To a layman , art is the expression of beauty put into definite form . Although there are people who only see the superficialities of art , there are also people who thrive in doing the arts , not just for entertainment alone but for serious studies and practice as well .
