What do you mean you've never heard of Art day? Have you been living under a rock? *sigh* Well sonny, this may come up on an exam, so I suppose I should enlighten you. 
 
 
 Nobody really knows who started Art Day, just that it happened in almost every major culture once a year. Very specific and odd, which makes the day so special. 
 
 
 The earliest known civilization to record art day would have to be the Egyptians. You always know where Art Day was in Egyptian history, because you'd find gorgeous hieroglyphs.... buried under a sea of less gorgeous drawings. 
 
 The early Mayans also took part in Art Day. Their calendars, very precise and elegant, would have a single day each year that was marked in bold, rare colors. 
 
 
 Even the most remote civilizations, like the Uyi-Uyi tribe in Madagascar, have Art Day in their history, and famous works are told by the elder's word of mouth. 
 
 
 Anyways, most people now accept May 10th as Art Day universally. It's warm, but not too hot. The trees are alight with color, causing inspiration to flow like milk from a fat cow. 
 
 
 Art Day traditions vary from country to country. In Russia, children fill the streets, waiting in line for hours to buy bits of chalk from street vendors or sample candies made by local confectioners. In the United States, everyone in each family is expected to buy each other some form of artist's utensil, whether it be brush or spatula or a set of pens. 
 
 
 Europe's castles are often open on Art Day, free for the public to scrawl all over famous buildings. The city workers and volunteers simply hose off the drawing during the next week, or some keep the more talented designs. In India, henna competitions transcend castes, as each person has the chance to win rupees to create an art in motion. 
 
 
 But that's just a few of the areas that celebrate. You do n't even want to get me started on the ice sculpture contest in Antarctica. 
 
 
 The Art Day universal symbol is a blank white flag. Each town decorates their own. Some even make the news. 
 
 
 
 Surely you've at least heard of Art Day stopping wars. Most famously, a World War 1 battle stopped on Art Day when an unknown German soldier raised a white flag. Both sides took a break from bloodshed, and instead broke out homemade instruments and made it a day to dance and drink crappy beer from a nearby tavern. That soldier is considered a symbol of Art Day. 
 
 
 
 Art Day is a day where chaos is allowed in the best way. Violence and crime rates are at a surprisingly low on Art Day, and everyone seems content to enjoy the worldwide festival. 
 
 
 Even with smartphones and other electronics, people still put them down and rush outside to see what marvelous colors and sounds the world will support on this very special occasion. Nobody wants to fight on Art Day, that's as taboo as murdering the innocent. Art Day is precious in society, because it represents the one thing we can all agree on- that art is beautiful.
