Video Games - The Forgotten Art
Ask any major in the fine arts for the definition of art. They're likely to tell you that it is self-expression through the use of some sort of medium. Most commonly thought of are clay for a sculpture, paint for a masterpiece, even music notes for a four-movement suite. The last thing you'd think of is a computer program for a video game. But why not? Don't video games incorporate both artwork and music? Each one is considered art, but many people consider the result, when put together, to be a waste of time. Through personal experience, I would have to define art as not only a way to express yourself, but as a source of inspiration to others. Not only do video games use art with music, they oftentimes have an engaging storyline. Writing is also a form of art, using pen and paper to convey everything artwork and music cannot do sufficiently. Video games can be their own art form, with a combination of music, drawing, animation, and writing.
