Art and life; Full-time or life and art together?

Some artists dedicate their whole life for their creed while some others spend their time in a choosy manner so as to get enough time for art and other personal priorities too. Some say the former approach to art is much more rewarding than the latter.
Do you think so? Or is it a better idea to pursue art along with life?

Pursuing an art calls for a lot of time, energy and enthusiasm, and it is very much worth it to live a life fully for art, and it is much more rewarding than any other pursuit of life. However, trying to have both the worlds is not bad either.

In any culture, art and artistes have always been given a high pedestal, and people in general have great regard for anyone who excels in some form of arts. Obviously, art is not cut for everyone, and artistes are believed to have had the signature of God in their hands and thoughts.

Naturally, artists like painters, danseuse, musicians, sculptures and other creative souls, in the course of time, happen to represent the place they belong to, their worlds get heeded, their deeds are imitated and their thoughts and production are showcased as the symbols of culture making them the ambassadors of culture. Actually, those who dedicate their whole life, eventually, go on living as long as mankind lives in this world. They become immortals.

This perennial significance of art and artists notwithstanding, it is not significant either to be enjoying life and engaging in one’s favourite field of art. For example, some arts do not want one to be fulltime; rather there is freedom to pursue it along with other beauties one’s life may offer. The ultimate purpose of life is to live it the way one wants to live. In that respect, it makes greater sense to be finding time selectively so that one can enjoy both the worlds; of art and life.   

The point is pursuing any art-form is a great thing in anyone’s life, and serious artists may live just for the sake of art, but, since life is to be lived too, going for life and one’s likes in art is much more worth it, I believe.
