Weekly Post #21 (Special Edition)

"Art Serves no Purpose"

This very quote was said by Eric Collect which then added "Watch TV instead"
So does art serve a purpose or does it not? It does
Art is a form of self expression. It is what allows people to describe themselves using ways different from words. Without art there would be no self expression. We would live in a grey and empty world with no inspirations. All that we have made in this world, and all that we have achieved is due to art. It is what inspired us to built, to develop, to create. Picasso once said "There are painters who reduce a sun to a yellow dot; and those who enlarge a yellow dot to sun." Enlarging that very dot is what art is all about. It is what forms our culture, our personalties, and our very own existence. If art serves no purpose than neither do poetry, music, books, friendship, or life. You can admire a piece or hate it, but that very fact defines you as a person, and that very image that you capture in your mind allows you to grow into yourself.
