why do people make art?

i think that people make are to express there thoughts and feelings in a non-verbal way. its a way to let out how your feeling and not keep everything bottled up inside you. its just a good way to tell a story without having to say a single word, because some people in the past didn't have written languages so they had no way of telling stories and history in any other way but verbally, which can be changed and/or easily forgotten. by making drawing, paintings and art it was a way to remember and document that past and present in a way thats both helpful and beautiful. people also just make are because they love to and because it can help relax you sometimes. art is just something fun to do to keep yourself busy and occupied but the end results can be much more then anyone thought that they would ever be.
