Affordable Art - article about Affordable Art

So I was watching this flick the other night. Maybe you've heard of it. It's called "The Davinci Code." As you probably already know, it concerns art and some bizarre history regarding Jesus Christ. Well, as I watched Tom Hanks examine the Mona Lisa, it struck me how absurdly expensive artwork is. Now, I know what you may be thinking. Old paintings from centuries ago should be worth millions. However, I can't personally say that this ancient artwork does much for me. I mean, sure it's interesting, but so are plenty of the new paintings created today. I guess I would rather have some affordable art hanging on my wall that depicts exactly what I enjoy looking at. After all, art shouldn't be about the cost.

When it comes to art, I prefer scenes of astronomy. I hired a local artist to come to my home and paint an awesome outer space scene on my daughter's bedroom walls. The artist did a brilliant job and my daughter loved it. At a total of 300 bucks, I would certainly call this affordable art. She completed the project in only two days. Imagine what I would have paid some famous artist for the very same work. It may have cost me the price of a car or something absurd. Art is not about money; it's about beauty and expression. Think about this the next time you're in the market for some art to compliment your home. I'll bet you can get a great deal from a college art student, who has plenty to offer.
