""Just as we need food and shelter to survive, we also need to nourish and exercise our active minds ... art provides the means and the materials for our imaginative play," writes William Haviland in Cultural Anthropology. "According to this way of thinking, art is a necessary kind of social behaviour in which all human beings participate," he states."
