As a lazy member of the creative community, I feel that Denis'es question holds a lot of merit. I believe that societal behaviors have a HUGE influence on artwork. Using Denise's example of laziness and my own experience with it on my artwork, I can personally vouch that it has a huge effect on me. But unlike laziness breaching into my art, like Denise would believe, I would believe that what laziness actually does is prevent my artwork from taking off because I am so lazy that I don't have the motivation to actually write any poetry or fiction. I believe that societal behaviors don't influence our art really like Denise views though, but it influences one's attitude towards our art, Other societal behaviors like individualism, self entitlement, pride, patriotism, or other cultural emotions have effects on one's perception as well. Pride for example (something that I unfortunately have too much of sometimes) effects me in the sense that when I create a story or poem, I often view it with a proud eye and ignore critics who could help me improve my artwork, or patriotism might influence what I decide to write about. It is our approach to our art that changes, not the actual style.
What kind of behaviors would have the biggest impact on our view of art?
