  1. Okay, I mean no offense I am an "artist" too, (or would like to think that I am lol)
    but artist are useless... and are a "refelction" of humanity.
    That dosnt help humanity...?

    For example,
    an artist spends a year painting a piece to show the pain cancer causes, or makes a movie or writes a book exploring the pain cancer causes on their family.
    a scientist spends his year trying to physically cure cancer.

    ..the scientist is physically doing something decent, the artist is just "feeling" and "communicating"
    ....a pointless reflection.

    but I have a contradicting mind, I "feel" as if art, can and does help....

    I dont know maybe I am just confusing myself, that or my parents dissaproval of my art is just getting to me.

    :confused:
     
  2. Excuse me?!
    Artists facilitate the alternative ways for ppl to view various realities. A good artist elevates our sense of being, our sense of existance. Without art we'd merely be these ant colonies of drones.
    Art can stimulate a whole hemisphere of our brain.
    Try using it once in awhile.
    And screw your parents, they're merely enocouraging you to be a drone.
    And, I have both science and art degrees.
     
  3. Someday people are going to find old paintings from our time and they are going to find out how we lived through our art and other things.
