What do you think about art ?

I think it is important ,i dislike people that try to gatekeep it or undermine its value. Everyone should have access to it and should be capable of creating it ,or is capable of doing so

I would say art and literature are some of the most important human endeavors. Every bit as important as the sciences. There are pieces of art and literature without which we would be impoverished. In some cases we would have not been able to understand or face our historical (even personal) experiences without them.

There is a lot of bad art, and I would say that is important too. One of the horrible things we’ve done to ourselves is make art the endeavor of a rare elite. The problem is that artistic creativity is a basic human faculty. I think it’s tragic we downplay that.

If you want to create art, that is who you are. In this time and place we frame everything in the context of vocation. Whether one will make a living as an artist is a moot point. It’s what one does. We would never ask the same question of a person who did gaming all the time. Spent all their time energy money on that.

More people should create and write.

Define "art" lol

If you are referring to illustrative art, then I am horrible at that. I like looking at art that is pretty and beautiful but I've always preferred music, books, and adaptions that have come to life (films, etc.) I like things to speak and move, and to be continuous.

I really need new sources of information, all the time.

That's why I think there is no greater art than music. Paintings, drawings, or whatever you want to call an illustrative piece can be limited...music is a truly transcending experience and is limitless.

On the other hand, it is nice to see something that has captured moments that will forever remain. I just wish I knew what else the person or people in or creating the art were doing at the time.

I like Monet...

This is a nice painting:

I think.. it depends on how they go about it. Do they use a lot of the proceeds towards a specific cause? Do they actively work on using the art/making of the art to bring in a crowd that will draw attention to a cause? Do they bring meaningful, relevant, enriching art to non-upper class environments/community spaces that would encourage togetherness?


However, if they aren’t doing those things with their art then… they’re not an ‘ activist’. They make art for themselves that they show others. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with making art that’s just self reflection and/or the self contemplating whatever issue then displaying the final product. Self expression is therapeutic and can evoke contemplation/emotion from the audience, but I also think it’s important artists not BS themselves about the impact of their efforts.

Can't figure out why some of it goes for 50 bucks and some of it goes for 50 thousand dollars. 🖼️

allows us to make physical representations of the intangible, while also a reflection of existence. brings people together across political and material lines, creates a sense of awe & wonder & appreciation of the alone-ness & sense of vastness we all silently acknowledge inside. and sometimes lets us delve into fantasy.

Well there are alot of different arts and I think they absolutely can change and impact the world around us.

Art keeps the delicate side of each human alive, away from mundane.

Each being should indulge in at least one, whenever time allows or may be take out time for the same.

I don't know for certain if it can change the world, but it can be life-changing in both negative and positive ways. Some art literally takes my breath away and inspires me.

There’s beauty mostly in what is of no use. All useful things are ugly.

I tried to PM you to tell you that I posted some of the sketches from my recent open studio.

Art provokes and touches us emotionally. Both are very necessary.

We are humans, not machines.

If you love art, and it makes you happy, do it.

If you can make it more meaningful to the world, make it your work.

If you can make it bring a positive change, make it your passion.

All the Best !!

I love art. It's always been my thing

Society devoid of art, is devoid of culture and its soul.

Anything can change the world, and it does, in more or less noticeable ways.

Modern art seems silly to me.

I think it's a human thing, part of the human experience. It's something that we, as animals, do. Art is always worth doing because it enriches our lives. It is not in competition with truth or communication.

I've never met Art but I'm sure he can
