kat heck most people think it's useless in the sense that it produces no money for people who choose to pursue it as a career but that's a very true statement.

kat heck art is not usless as long as it's not a business or a place were you can brag about the amount of money you have. Just compare modern conceptual art with *any* other art. Look at the sistine chaple, that is art... And that was during the 16th century, what now? A bunch of trash glued together is suddenly art?

alessandro Donadi I find it interesting that in the discussion of art it's always a past vs. present discussion. Frankly, I find your comment exaggerative. I personally have witnessed mind blowing contemporary art that I felt was far more interesting than anything made in the past. I think it's important to make note of the fact that art isn't science; it's subjective, and it has different meanings and perspectives to everyone. That "trash being glued together" might seem ridiculous, but perhaps the artist saw a shape or form in that trash. Hell, maybe they saw a story. And maybe they really did glue random pieces of trash together; does it necessarily mean they don't care? Perhaps that's the statement being made. Not all art is easy to understand, nor particularly hard to do, it just has to mean something to *someone*. It's concerning how now more than ever people hate contemporary art across all fields (music, for example) I'd think, as artists (or art appreciators) we'd encourage this change in art and it's methods of construction and purpose. Art can be serious, yes, but I also think it deserves to be fun. If we all painted Mona Lisas, Mona Lisa would get boring. If we all refused to paint and look only at Mona Lisas, it would get boring. Change is necessary, no matter how difficult it can be to understand.

kat heck i agree... I actually like most of modern art. I find that it's amazing what we can now achieve in architecture, music and the new ones, like cinematography, photography and animation. The thing though i have jet to understand is why so many people are willing to pay exorbitant prices for art pieces whom value is debatable, for example "levitated mass" by M. Heizer is a massive art piece near the art museum of LA. It costed the museum $10 million. Why are some people putting that amount of money into putting a massive Boulder near a museum and not other art pieces?

kat heck art is love and shout out morphious orphious

omg i love y'all

I thought more of it like 'better to be doing Shakespeare than to be violently raping your cellmate'

I overdose on cringe from this comment

cool guy says the guy named cool guy

they still deserve to be in jail for what they did

BigPooprr but they've already realised what they've done and learned their lesson n shit

CrayDude345 // RageEX so they got to county by donating kit kats and slim jims to purple heart recipients?

Devan Janaka so if a person who killed 100 people realised what theyve done and learned their lesson they should be set free?

BigPooprr if they're no longer a danger to society then like yes. right?

Joey Baseball XD yep

yay hamlet!

Alexander Hamlet.

Good question. In Shakespeare’s time men played those parts as well.

iHalliex nearly all the prisoners there are white so this is probably normal to them.

Why not both?

Pokemon Pokemon think about it, the victims are already on the way to healing. The perpetrators are in jail, or the person convicted since not everyone in prison is guilty, society is on their side, and they can move on with their trauma (if given any). Now the reason why some European prisons do better than American, is because they focus on recovery. They have several therapies, remedies and classes to bring the criminals back into a civil state of mind. And it works! The criminals go back out as people, they rarely recommit crimes again.
