While the left side, “action”, continues to produce quantifiable policy changes and new laws, the right side “ïdeas”, can be hard to quantify its outcome. We are not necessarily talking about concrete things here, but rather, a “headspace.”Īcademic institutions and think tanks, which are not always involved in the immediate policy wins, are significant in creating a culture of thought The right side, “ideas,” can be harder to see. The left side, “action,” often means quantifiable policy changes. Masses reflect what society really wants (heart) On the outside, we at grassroots set our expectations and needs, so that the elected candidates pass laws that give us power. The inside act has the power to influence policy creators. On the inside, there’s big money: elites are spending millions of dollars to influence politicians and policymakers. There’s an inside act and an outside act. On the left you have action, and on the right, ideas elites are at the top, and the masses are below. Society is driven by the powerful elites, the dependent masses, government, cultural producers and artists The graph (below) represents our society. Van Jones presented a graph that accurately represents the interaction between the four aspects of society and its different members.Ĭonsequently, Vones depicts why is art important to our society?
Probably, the best theory that I like all which best explains – Why is art important – is from Van Jones, subtly provides a great response to What is art? discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use (Frank Lloyd Wright).the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.not a thing - it is a way (Elbert Hubbard).the mastery, an ideal way of doing things.
an activity that manifests the beauty ( What is Beauty in Art?).an act of making something visually entertaining.resides in the quality of doing the process is not magic.
