TA: artist audience

Art should be beautiful. This is more than attractiveness; one should be able to be moved by beauty. In art, something may not even be “pretty,” but it can be deeply satisfying, beautiful even. Something can be happy, but things can also be sad, and sadness can be its own kind of beautiful, too.
Art should be good. Art should be good in the opposite way that evil is evil. Art should not seek to be malevolent, but to be virtuous and worthy in its intent and effect.
Art should be outstanding. It should aspire to be exceptional, to be excellent, and to hold itself to its highest quality and standard.
Art should be uplifting. It ought to have the ability to change a person who has experienced it in a way that will enrich their lives. It should lift and edify people.
I think that part of the reason that people create art is that the act of creation is divine, and as sons and daughters of The Creator, we have an aching to touch upon that divinity which is inborn in us all.
