Question

Why is it important to study asian arts?

Answer 1

6000 thousand years ago, your forefathers were squishing their own dingleberrys against cave walls, creating "art" much like the "pieces" executed by my 13 month old son, which hang proudly upon my fridge.

Asia, meanwhile, was civilized. The artwork from that era (scupture, pottery, tapestry, etc) can not be reproduced now and is a priceless part of all major art museums.... nuff said?

Answer 2

Half of the world's population are Asian.  They are becoming a leading economic force and a major player in global politics.  Westerners need to understand them.

Learning Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, or Hindu is also important as they are money languages unlike Spanish and African languages.

Answer 3

it is not perticullaly important

european and asian arts both have things to offer (i wont talk about american arts as these are influanced by those mentioned above.)

english arts (perticulaly martial arts) are more grounded in the physical and religious, whilst the asian arts in general are more esoteric in nature.

in short they are both equaly beutiful but it depends what you are looking for,

for more information on english martial arts please search for "compan of marsters" in google.
