3 - Some argue that art is subjective and has different meanings for different individuals. What are your thoughts on this, and how can artists convey their intended messages effectively?
Yes I am a strong contender and supporter of this notion that art is subjective because I firmly assert that every individual has its own unique cultural identity and have its own diverse life experiences and perspectives, and those differences actually have a great role in shaping their ability to perceive and interpret even the same thing from different eye lens’
Moreover, the artists can convey their intended message effectively by adopting and employing several multiple techniques
1 - Like first of all, their intent should be clear and they must be aware of their own purpose of what they actually want to communicate to their audience because this clarity is vital for ensuring effective communication.
2 - Moreover, the artist should need to master their own chosen medium of expression in which they want to communicate because without honing and possessing exceptional brilliance in their own skill they wouldn’t be able to communicate their ideas in a compelling and coherent manner.
3 - Then lastly , I personally believe that significant number of individuals are drawn towards art which evokes a profound sense of connection and stirs emotions inside of them, thus for achieving effective communication artists can skillfully tap into these emotional elements.

4 - Many artists create thought-provoking and sometimes controversial pieces. Do you believe there should be limits on artistic expression, and if so, where should those limits be drawn?
Well, I would want to answer that question from a religious perspective because I have a deep fascination for religion, so in the context of religion I would say that artistic expressions should be confined to the moral and ethical values and standards prescribed by the faith and it must not escape those boundaries, For example there are many notions of artistic expressions which promotes objectification culture and shift the emphasis to external appearance rather than valuing your intellect, character and skills which ultimately results in reinforcing harmful stereotypes and produces detrimental affects on the mental health of individuals, such artistic expressions in my opinion should be banned as they transgress the limits confined by religion and contribute towards the promotion of an unhealthy society.

5 - Art can be a powerful means of cultural expression. How does art from different cultures contribute to our understanding and appreciation of diversity?
Yes, certainly, art from different cultures plays a vital role in enhancing our understanding and appreciating diversity which exist within different cultures but it is important to acknowledge that every culture has some pros and cons associated with them and first of all we must need to educate ourselves with that ability to discern between right and wrong, and afterward we must need to praise the good we find out in a certain culture, because by recognizing and praising the positive aspects , we can foster a greater appreciation for diversity. Like for example if you look towards the artistic expressions of western culture you will find out that we can admire their advancements in technology and innovation and it can serve for us as a valuable lesson for progress, by showing willingness towards learning and appreciating the positive aspects of artistic expressions and it will automatically foster within us that trait of valuing differences and in breaking down prejudices.
