DP Daily Prompt: Art Appreciation

Do you need to agree with an artist’s life style or politics to appreciate their art? To spend money on it?

If I love art it does not have anything to do with the artist’s lifestyle or politics. Art appreciation and the artist’s lifestyle and his political affiliation, are two different things.

I have art work of a variety of artists, I collected them because they are beautiful and makes the wall they are hung on attractive.

I think arts education should be encouraged in elementary and secondary schools. It has a twofold role. I gives students some literacy and some level of technical skills and provides them with some understanding and interest , which can make them consider studying it in higher education.

Peoples lives are inspired by the arts, they listen to music, read fiction, watch TV dramas. It is believed the well-being and happiness of people will be higher where art is given a prominent role.

Arts has been in existence since the earliest humans, some of it can be seen in Egyptian art:

The early Egyptians wrote their letters using art.

Writing Prompt: Art Appreciation

Do you need to agree with an artist’s lifestyle or politics to appreciate their Art? To spend money on it?

If I appreciated an artist’s work based on his/her lifestyle or politics it will not say much about my appreciation. If we did that with anyone,the world would be a very difficult place to live in.

Art appreciation should be based on the talent or the gift of the artist,it should have nothing to with his political affiliation, think about all the well-known artist,do we say oh let’s find out what kind of a lifestyle he had then we’ll decide whether his work is worthy to be bought. 

I will spend money on an art work I like, the life style or politics will make no difference.
