Following a conversation with my Psychologist today I
would really appreciate people sharing their thoughts on
the following question; APART FROM MONETARY -
WHAT VALUE DOES ART HAVE or PROVIDE?
What value does Art give to someone who looks at it /
experiences it or displays it? What value do people get
from viewing art or buying it? What Value does Art give
people? (Examples might include things like; Pleasure,
comfort, self-expression etc.)

First Christmas song of the year! Aaaaaaarrrrgh! And it’s
in the doctor’s surgery. They’ve also played "Vincent" so
all those who have come in with depression might finally
be pushed over the edge.
No wonder my nephews are confused about that annual
holiday where we carve Jesus out of pumpkins and
decorate pine trees with chocolate eggs before dressing a
Guy Fawkes in back-to-school gear to throw him on
thanks-giving "bum” fires outside the harvest festival
wearing scream masks.

Just read a most bizarrely worded news story about a guy
who shot 2 colleagues live on a news broadcast & then
shot himself. It started off by saying he was a
"disgruntled" ex-employee - "disgruntled"?! And he’s
shooting people. I’d hate to see him in "really pissed off"
mode. Then it went on to say "He had already shot 2
colleagues before he shot himself" - casually throwing
that bit of info in as if shooting them was just incidental.
