l'art pour l'art

I have long thought about the presence of art in everyday life. The presence of art in the world is unmistakeable, from branding, architecture, physical paintings and sculptures, the written word, music; the list literally is infinite. But how often do we actually take the time to appreciate the artistic value of the world around us. Does the fact that KU has more than 7 buildings on the national monument register effect my life in any minute manner. How often do I walk to class listening to music and actually ponder the reality that a whole host of individuals had to collectively use their talents to present a mere 3 minutes of noise to my iPod. I'm not trying to dwell on this in the manner a hipster might, I'm simply suggesting that the next time you take a stroll through the world, pay head to the art that fills it. Remember, "to live intensely amongst the world is an artistic necessity, and an art form in and of itself" - Claude Monet. We are all artists, and certainly the products of art in the world. Perhaps today is the day to harness your creativity and use the inspiration that is the collection of art in the world to produce your own work. Draw, write, jam, think... just do!
