 “Art itself is interesting; it is interesting in itself, in that it satisfies one of the necessities of life”
I think most people see art as a luxury although it is actually much more. Art should be able to be enjoyed by everybody but in today’s society the less fortunate are unable to experience art. That is why the placement of this monument was so important. The monument is trying to show that everyone has the same right to experience art and this is a great opportunity for poorer people see things that normally only the rich would see. The actual parts of the monument such as the plywood and duct tape also prove this point. I think the usage of plywood and and duct tape inspire poorer people to create their own art by showing them how art can be created from anything and does not need to contain expensive materials. The monument gives people who may be jobless something to do in their free time and a chance to express themselves through art. I believe that this monument was a success by enlightening, encouraging, and inspiring the people who live in that area.
