Utility of art

One of the defining personalities of fine art as opposite to applied art is the absence of any clear useful value. But this obligation is sometimes criticize as being a class prejudice against labor and utility. Opponents of the view that art cannot be useful, argue that all human activity has some efficient function, and the objects claimed to be "non-utilitarian" actually have the function of attempting to confuse and codify flawed social hierarchies. It is also sometimes argued that even apparently non-useful art is not useless, but rather that its use is the effect it has on the psyche of the creator or viewer.
Art is also used by art therapists, psychotherapists and medical psychologists as art therapy. Art can also be used for qualities Test. The end product is not the principal goal in this case; somewhat a process of healing, through creative acts, is sought. The resultant piece of artwork may also offer insight into the difficult experienced by the subject and may propose suitable approaches to be used in more conservative forms of psychiatric therapy.
