What does art mean to you?

Art is powerful. It has changed the course of nations, established religions, crowned kings, and motivated oppressed people to rise up and take back their lives. So I ask you, what does art mean to you?

  1. Art to me is everything, everything could be art because everything has to be created. Art is something that someone creates, it is a masterpiece of the world.

  3. Art means everything. Without art life would be very boring. Art is appealing to the eye. Many people draw art to get away from the reality they hate.

    1. I think it's interesting that you wrote about how art can be an escape from reality. So many view it as an expression of reality. I know that I feel like I escape when I play a musical instrument or compose a story, and it takes me out of myself and away from the regular business of everyday life. Is that what you mean?

    1. I hear ya, man. The music itself, and lyrics, too. I feel like I was raised by the poetry of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and so many others. The music alone, too. There's something about the first few notes of a truly great song that communicates more than entire novels.
