Do you think that most societies use art in the same way?
Yes, most societies use art in the same way whether they mean to or not. Art changes the way we
see the world, and truth be told, life in some cases emulates art as opposed to a different way. All
through history, it has dependably been the situation that art can change society, particularly
when new media are utilized to express a thought. Amid the First World War, for instance,
motion picture cameras were utilized interestingly to record trench fighting – when the film
appeared on the silver screens in Britain, groups of onlookers ran out shouting. This prompted to
the administration controlling further such utilization of such a capable medium. Also, in
government control, and utilization of art as purposeful publicity, we perceive how genuinely
governments produce the results of art.

Is art a concept, a process or just objects?

I believe that art is a process and that it all about the experience you have while your creating art.
Art fits in with how we as individuals learn because it allows us to be ourselves, permits us to act
naturally, settle on our own choices, and simply create. “Humans make are to understand life, to
communicate emotions and ideas to others, or to simply create something beautiful” (Lazzari)

Can societies with no word for art still have art?

Yes, you don't need a word for something for it to exist. Societies whether they have a word for
it or not acknowledge art. As individuals and as a society we make art at each level of life
intentionally or not.
