Why create art? What is the point?
Think about it! :)
Well, most artists will answer that art makes them happy. They are happy when they make it. They are happy when they look at it. But art is more than fun and decoration.
For me, art is a way to express yourself -- just like other forms of expression like dancing, creating music, composing poems and songs or story-writing. You can tell a story or record what someone looks like with art. You can share your feelings or communicate ideas or opinions.

The quote that really appeals to me as an artist is by the famous sculptor Carl Andre:
"A man climbs a mountain because it is there.
A man makes a work of art because it is not there".
Think about it! :)
