Arts for Life's Sake

According to me each and every piece of art has its own life that convey something. Each and every individual has there own way of looking on or using the piece art. Life is given to the piece of art by the way the individual thinks or uses it. A simple example "A simple dot in a paper is an art, but for some it looks just like a dot and some can find out many meaning for the dot". Here the dot is given life by the way the person look on to it.

Art in architecture has life. It doesn't mean that the building should be designed according to the utility of people even though its very important. Sir i am against your statement that Taj Mahal is just build for art sake. Taj Mahal has its own life which make us to watch it for hours. A good example for this is Tsunami Memorials. Designing memorial is a real challenge for architects. Even though the utility of the memorial is not defined the sculpture has a life that make us to remember the destruction that caused.

Each and every small piece of art has life that make us to turn around and look at it..
