How can paint artists(painters)be useful for their society?

as u know( and maybe don%26#039;t know!) art has a high impression on the people.it just depends on%26quot; how to use it.%26quot;


music and writing are in the top. they were sometimes the pioneers of defiances.but painting...


painting is going to be the simple of wealth. we don%26#039;t have anyone like %26quot;pablo neruda %26quot; or %26quot;the beatles %26quot; in painting.painters don%26#039;t have done anything really usefull.


and now%26quot; I%26#039;m a painter.I want to be usefull. how can I do it with painting????

Oh wow. Seriously? You%26#039;re a painter and you think painters haven%26#039;t done anything useful?


TAKE AN ART HISTORY CLASS, PLEASE. I can%26#039;t even answer this question. You%26#039;re insulting yourself.
Reply:It is really sad that you feel that way. You must not have studied art very much as Sweety stated above. I can%26#039;t begin to touch on the amazing things artist%26#039;s have done for society and how many changed the way we will look at the world. A few: DaVinci, Picasso, Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Pollock, Warhol...you may not like all of their art, but that really doesn%26#039;t matter. They are a part of history, how can you possibly state that painting is not useful??? I commend you for wanting to make art that matters, but I believe you must take a closer look at art and begin reading between the lines. A painting isn%26#039;t as self explanatory as a song...you have to think.
Reply:Velasquez. Velasquez changed painting...changed how others viewed painting and art and had a great impact on post modern thought and even philosophy.





Painting may not seem important to the everyday person because most of it is not completely accessible to the everyday person...some find that elitist or sad or whatever, but it is usually true. Some art, and paintings particularly, have become just status symbols but there are artists who make tremendous differences in people%26#039;s lives. It might not be the masses who can get a Beatles cd at any store, but believe me painters can be quite useful to those who are willing to go to galleries or museums and look.





In one of my classes we were talking about how our school had a banner that read %26quot;What starts here changes the world%26quot; around that banner were math equations, beakers, test tubes, and stock quotes...obviously art was not represented. When asking if we really are doing anything as pertinent as saving lives or finding cures, one student replied %26quot;What good is saving lives when there is nothing to live for%26quot; It might sound pretty ridiculous, but in essence that is true... the arts (painting included) are humanity%26#039;s link to something explainable only through the visual or auditory, and that is a gift worth analyzing, interpreting, talking about, and for some...worth living for. Painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, etc all play a part in history and all contribute to the culture and ideology around it, which in turn makes artists quite valuable.





If you want to be useful in the common sense then don%26#039;t be a painter...you won%26#039;t save lives or build homes, you won%26#039;t always feel that you%26#039;re %26quot;helping%26quot; anyone...but once in a while, somebody looks at what you%26#039;re doing and sees more than the visual...once in a great while they see what you%26#039;re trying to say and they are moved by it...that is worth it for me..but not for everyone.
