Art is universal as culture expression/pratice, however, doesn't have same meaning in differents culture. If art is a concept, its problably that is not universal. I can saw an paint and has an artistic function to me but someone can't give the same intention. But, I will try to be more specific with your orignal comment. When money has envolved in art creation, will not be a problem, when the artist has skill to make it. I'm not envolved with movie/tv industry, but I think in this case, much money can be envolved, and sometimes doesn't make easy work with. But art is not inspiration. Needs to be a fusion of mind and emotion.Can it be only logical to make art? Yes, I think so, but in a elementary level. When the artist is developing his pratice, it will be necessary to discover a emotion logic to make an authentic art. I think this question can be answer with another: why the art exist?

Art's purpose can be a simple as adding beauty to the world or as complex as attempting to reconciles the paradoxes of existence. Art is best when it is motivated by a truth. I have always feared money too. It seems hard to be stay honest when money changes hands. You're truth becomes someone else's property. But I also realize that what makes someone an artist is creating art. What makes someone a professional artist is making a living as an artist. Balancing the confilct is part of the challenge. I just hope I pass the test more often than not. Art is important to me because it allows me to express what I can not otherwise.

Weather it be a dinner plate, a blank sheet of paper, an outfit, a hairstyle, anything. Every day i choose to express myself, and that is what art is to me. Expressing yourself in your own dividual days. I know when i get upset, i express it. I may take a pencil to paper, or sit down, and type a story. Maybe sit outside, snap a few pictures, and be me. So, art's important to me because, without it, i'd probably go insane! ;D love ya Allie, god bless (sorry if that's offensive) and keep up your amazing blogging.

Because I think of all the arts, the theatre is the most conservative, because you have that ghastly problem of having to sell all the tickets every night." - tina howe, playwright “There’s something very perverse in me that loves trying to do the impossible and put things on the stage that are very hard to stage and that maybe people haven’t seen before.

So i guess that the art we do now is worth zero until we die then it could be worth millions, or at least that is how it looks in the realm of art. Nothing truely can be appreciated until many years have passed. and the funny thing is that sometimes our art of today is a better quality than back then.

I wrote a poem once about what art means to me. I think art is the only medium I have to be who I really am, there are not masks or hidden messages with art. I love writing, a lot and I see my art as a door to my imagination. Italian writer Italo Calvino once said that our ability to imagine and create art was infinite even though our lives were finite. Everything goes when we create ideas and imagery within our minds, there are so many colours that only I can imagine and tastes and sounds only I know and I can write about them and truly be. So art is essential because it allows me to sort of write who I am. Nothing can render you more vulnerable and sort of paint your being as clearly as art does. Art.

That's not true. It's only 'work' when you begin to think of it as work. Deadlines, rules, and restrictions become part of the canvas you are using. I think animation is the prime example. When you are animating a film for a company, you learn to 'stay within the lines'. And of course, the reason that the company hired you in the first place is because of your ability to create art.

In a portrait you can do anything from 100% natural to 1000% unnatural. When you draw for yourself you draw what's in your heart, you take a piece of your soul and place it on a canvas. When you get paid to do art, your not doing it simply because you love it, even if you do love it. You have restrictions and requirements. Money does taint art but sometimes getting paid to draw is a good thing like an art team for an animation, that's good art. I think that's simply because they need a team though and the artist builds a bond. Personally I love to draw and I think once deadlines, rules, and restrictions get added into it, art isn't art... it becomes work. Art is important because no one can tell you what to draw.
