Art is very personal. Everyone likes different things and the same goes for what one thinks is good as it pertains to ART. It is very subjective (based on feelings or opinions rather than facts), so not everyone likes the same type of art!

   There are two types of art that artists create: COMMERCIAL ART, art  that is created for a company or business ( Posters, Logos, Book Covers. Illustrations,CD Covers, various designs that are used to sell a product or service). There is also FINE ART

( Photographs, Sculptures, Painitngs, Tapestries, Prints,etc.) that artists sell through art galleries, and art shows for themselves as creative people.

   What is the purpose of art???...That is a good question. For most people it is used to make an environment look pretty or to decorate a( UTILITARIAN or useful object such as a tool, vase, wagon, backpack etc.) object.

   For the most part, ART should ellicit some type of emotional reaction from the viewer , laughter, sadness, hope, calmness, nervousness, or shock! Art is an everyday part of life that will hopefully sharpen our observational skills and develop our senses. The study of art will hopefully help us  become better eyes, ears, and to listem more intimately to the world around us!
