Many people got a attitude of "you can sit around all day dreaming and drawing , or you can get out there and get a job and contribute to the world. Kids cant even speak english right and they want more money for art programs? that should be the last priority." or "We need doctors we need lawyers and physicists and surgeons and architects and people who can supply the practical needs of the human race. if everyone jus spends all their time tryin to make pretty pictures, what kinda state would we be in?" or "id rather have my bread and butter and food on the table than a $200 hunk of glass or wood sittin on my coffee table."
or like MazDan said in the art forum thread on here "whats the point of buyin a bunch of paint smeared on a piece of board? why would it be worth hundreds of dollars?"
So there is many good questions people ask and some just dont see the value of art. So what do you think the value of art (not money wise but culturally) is? What are your answers to the people who dont see or believe in the importance of art (and the arts, not just painting, etc but dance, music, and everything.)
Well? How do you think this planet would be different without art? how would it look? where would we be?
