Digital Games- But are they art?

•a) How does Adams define art? Do you agree with his definition?

        Adam said art is not formula, art should be devided into four types:
        Literary art ( film and TV)
        Fine art ( music, dance, sulpture)
        Decorative art (wallpaper)
        Architecture

       art should not just be a kind of activities, but it should have some thing moral or meaning involve in it. art is the communication between artists and viewers. If the viewres is disturbed, the conversation would come to a halt. art is how to be used, it has its functional purpose. Creativity enhace the utilitarian aspect of art and art itself invoves economic purpose, salesbility is mentioned in the reading. Populart culture cannot be art.

       I agree the point that artwork is a bridge for artists to communicate with the viwers, just like Mona Lisa, the simle that portrayed by Leonardo is to tell people about the beauty of Mona Lisa. also, art has its functional purpose , if their purpose is the same is not neccesary to classify them into fine art, decorative art etc. but i dun think art should involove economic interest or i am afriad that if it really comes true, the artistic production may become marketing-directed. 

•b) According to Adams, what is needed for videogames to be considered as art?

      The video game have narrativeand it can be literary art. If the critirias of fine art can be included in video games that it can be art. Also, the videogames have to challenge the players. they have to motivate and stimulate the viewers to think of issues that they don't know or think deeper to what  they already knew . if the new asthetics visual element, ideas and thought can be added into the video game, than it can be art.
