Sociologists have primarily analyzed art as a cultural practice that can\n<\/div>\n<div>offer insights about larger society. In this view art becomes a reflection of the material and\/or\n<\/div>\n<div>symbolic conditions of our world, an artifact that gives clues to the functioning of a social structure.\n<\/div>\n<div>Art affords us a way to share our experiences\n<\/div>\n<div>Art gives us a way to relate to others\n<\/div>\n<div>Art simultaneously reflects and shapes society\n<\/div>\n<div>Art transcends language to communicate ideas&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What is the role of the artist? Artists provide creative, intellectual and emotional insights\n<\/div>\n<div>into society at large, impacting society and challenging the status quo.\n<\/div>\n<div>Artists create possibilities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What do artists do? Creative thinkers and makers provide their communities with stimulation,\n<\/div>\n<div>interaction, and inspiration, but they also give thoughtful critique to our political, economic,\n<\/div>\n<div>and social systems \u2014 pushing communities to engage thoughtfully and make steps&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Do artists work alone? Historically there is a myth that people are born with artistic talent.\n<\/div>\n<div>But, in actuality art needs other people to be produced. Creativity isn&#8217;t a solely solo pursuit,\n<\/div>\n<div>it&#8217;s cumulative and collaborative<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Do artists have a responsibility? Artists are cultural producers who shape mass opinion.\n<\/div>\n<div>Artists use materials and create conditions that alter our environment and senses.
