Samantha Carter- The value of art

Just food for thought... but maybe I will also add a picture at the end of the blog for visual stimulation. I was just thinking again about our question for this semester "What is art?", and realized that the answer is almost inevitably a bit vague. I wonder as a consequence, what affect this ambiguous definition has on the value society places on art. Given our history with the cold war in particular, the United States has since put an increasing value on the sciences and maths, or the definite. Yet at the same time, many of the propaganda that was used during that time is now hailed as art? Just something I've been rolling around in my head... 

Potential to be continued. 

Here's a picture for visual stimulation. The first picture that comes up when you google image "Art". :-)
