Is art defined by one purpose? Could every single piece of art have the same purpose? The answer is simply no. Art can be designed to entertain, persuade, or inform. We know that art is humans’ effort to mimic, enhance, modify, or offset nature. We also know that art is a conscious effort to stimulate our senses. But the meaning behind why we would stimulate one’s senses is up to the artist. Since every artist is a human being and every human being is different, we could assume that almost every artist has a different purpose for creating art; thus art has countless purposes and we may never be able to comprehend every specific purpose for every individual piece of art. Such as some art serves as a memorial, and some art serves religion. Some art is propaganda, and some art is simply made for entertainment. Some art is made as a warning, and some art helps us understand a concept. So in totality, art is complex and unique just like the human beings who make art.
