Reasons for art ? Are you serious ? Art, well, first you would have to define what is art ? That question is still not satisfactorily answered for most people. Is pictures of a crucifix in a jar of urine art ? Some people think so, and yet others call it sacrilege. Is the picture of a young boy nude, and in the arms of an older man art ? Or is it a sexual crime ? You ask 100 people you are going to get 100 answers, mostly all different.My personal reasons for art follows, hope they help.1. Man is a creature capable of transcending his brutish nature, art reminds me of this.2. My soul needs to be fed as well as my belly.3. Without art, life itself is a meaningless progression from birth to grave with nothing of value in between.Good luck, but I think you should take an art appreciation course or two to broaden your experience.
