Without artists creating, practicing, and/or demonstrating an art the world would be a terribly dreary place without artists, wouldn't you say? 
I believe so. Artists bring so much to our world and beauty!
Indeed! An artists doesn't necessarily mean a painter, mind you, the term is often used in the entertainment business for musicians and other performers.
Yes, that's true. They also bring much to us. Giving us entertainment and inspiration.
Speaking of music, my favorite genre is jazz, a genre that originated in African-American communities of New Orleans, US. What is your favorite genre of music?
