After reading Ryhs Southan’s  Is Art A Waste of time? for a second time, I have found more clarity on the topic of Art and the psychology around it. Artists are portrayed as they are in their own world and recognizes the bad within our culture but yet does nothing about it. Art is more of an entertainment. Artists ignore the fact that everything around them is going bad but they just paid what seems “good” to them “Artists, meanwhile, paint the beautiful landscape in front of them while the rest of the world burns.” Artists are able to inspire people with their impressive artwork, but they are not able to end world hunger with one stroke of the brush. Rhys sees this and he is having a crisis because he thinks he is doing all of this good, but in actuality he really isn’t helping anyone at all. That’s where the EA comes in, Rhys sees the EA as a way to do as much good as possible, to help as many people who need to be helped around the world. Art is about more than beautiful creations, but what else can Art do?
