At the beginning of the article “Art for Life’s Sake”, Ellen Dissanayake mentioned that she consider art not only include all human history but also all human societies. She use the religious taking place in western middle ages as the example to demonstrate that art can greatly affect human’s history and societies. Artists were use their creativity to contribute to the Jesus. Their artwork just represent religious and without their thought. On Ellen Dissanayake’s eyes, art is totally pure. Each artwork contains a story inside, every people have their right to enjoy the artwork. She highly admire the “postmodernism”, she consider postmodernism promote all activities and let people liberate their soul.

I totally agree with Ellen Dissanayake, art make human’s life more colorful. From my opinion, art is a combination of human’s intelligent, it require people to use their mind to feel and understand. There’s not only one rule for understanding art, each people can have different feeling and different explanation for an artwork. Sometimes I am thinking art respect human’s autonomy, human can give their meaning for an artwork. Sometimes I believe that art is also a other form of language for human’s to communicate.Artists trying to tell audiences what they feel and what they saw at some moment. Girl with a Pearl Earring is a famous printing which recorded a girl turning her head. This printing succes catch the instance action of the girl. Art can let beautiful last forever Even after a long time people even can see how beautiful the girls was from that artwork. No matter sad or happy, artists use their emotion as the inspiration in their work. On the one had, I disagree that artwork should be sell as commodities.On the other hand, I have to say use artwork as commodities promote art.
