| Albicant said: There are lots of people being pretty disparaging of being an art teacher in here. How many artists, even the biggest names, were lucky enough to make a living purely from selling there work? Very very few (and they're mostly the crap ones - it's easier to sell safe art after all). It's incredibly common for artists to be art teachers/lecturers to make ends meet. For the topic at hand - there are debates about whether literature, film, illustration and music can be considered art (as opposed to only having artistic merit). It's not surprising that video games suffer from the same problem (particularly as, let's be fair here, the vast vast majority of games are going to measure up pretty badly if judged as a piece of art, as opposed to a form of entertainment). Personally I'm not sure where I stand - it's not really an easy question to even quantify. More importantly - I'm not sure that it matters either way. |
This is the best comment in the entire thread, art or not it doesn't really matter.
