I came here tonight to pose a question to you.  What does art mean to you?  Do you think it makes a difference in the world?  Why or why not?

One think I love about art is no matter who you are, from what culture, what country, what age, what religion etc. you can all stand in front of an artwork and love it. A Chinese guy could love the same piece an american teenage girl does. It sorta brings us all closer together. It closes the gap that the ocean and languages form between different culture's.

Another thing is it is all about expressing ourselves, and because everyone can express themselves differently, there's no rules. Of course, some things are excepted and are generally kept the same without question, but it doesn't HAVE to. Certainly, some things can look bad, and some things can look better, but there's no 'right' way of doing it or 'wrong' way of doing it.

Another thing is that you can practice and hone your skills. No matter what, you could better. Even if your great at, say, photorealism, you could, for example, try to get better at cartoon jazz. Because there's always new style's or new mediums being invented, you could get better at different ones. You've always got somewhere to aim for, and you'll never be perfect. You can sit back and practice and get better and be proud of yourself.
