Posted January 31, 201411 yr It's a topic that's discussed a lot among gamers and even non-gamers. Do you think games are valid as an artform?
January 31, 201411 yr Yes, because you are taking an artistic/creative story and taking architectural designs and also character artwork into play...putting and designing a story together is an art and a way to utilize it to impact others is an art in itself.
January 31, 201411 yr Popular Post Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. That is the definition of art. I think it fits. Video games are the creation of a team of people who get together, throw around ideas and then bring these ideas into existence through mental and physical labor in the hopes of giving something the world can love, be entertained by, and appreciate.

January 31, 201411 yr Some are art for sure, but maybe not all of them. Some are stories, some are statements, some are their own little thing, but most of them are somewhere in between. Art expresses and invokes ideas and emotions, and comes in plenty of forms. Games can definitely be one of those forms. Plus with modern art, you can call just about anything a masterpiece anyway, so yeah.
January 31, 201411 yr I dream of a day decades from now, when videogame assignments are assigned instead of book assignments That won't happen, and if you want to make video games in school there's classes for that.

January 31, 201411 yr To a certain degree, yes I think video games are art. They are like any other painting or drawing but are able to move around, jump, have personalities, or anything else you can think of. I guess video games are "dead" pieces brought to life.
January 31, 201411 yr Just let a man dream, dreams, though not always realistic, are very dream-y.Yes, and Sonic 06 is a two year old Michel Bay's kindergarten art project when he had broken thumbs. Michael Bay was currently working on TRANSFORMERS at that time.

January 31, 201411 yr I don't really think of video games as an art form as much as I do a culmination of various arts. Think about it, video games often contain stories, music, and visual art, all in one package. Whether it should be considered an art form in it's own right, I'm not sure.
January 31, 201411 yr Michael Bay was currently working on TRANSFORMERS at that time.That was his English project.
January 31, 201411 yr If movies can be considered art, video games definitely can be, too. Heck, I get more emotional reactions out of games than I do almost any movie.
January 31, 201411 yr I consider all games art, even if it's bad, it's still art. Movies, TV Shows, music, and even books are a form of art, however, video games are more than just an art, they're an immersive experience full of interaction between the player and the character. You make most of the choices that affect a games story. You pour your own heart and soul into it by playing it, just like the developers did creating it. Video games are honestly art that is incomplete without the person interacting with it. All art has meaning to it, but with games, you put hours of your life into it just to reach the end and discover its meaning. Video games are a form of art that we can take part in rather than watch, listen, or imagine.
January 31, 201411 yr Play, in order, Alice: Madness Returns, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop distance, do nothing but watch the backgrounds, and don't tell me that wasn't some beautiful ass art you just saw.
January 31, 201411 yr this is really common sense art is something you draw for example a game like kingdom hearts they drew it 1st which was art then turn it to a game
January 31, 201411 yr I'd have to say....yes, yes they are art. Honistly, there's a lot of thought that goes into these games.....even bad ones too are an art form too really. ....Though ones like kirby and pokemon are my favorites. And of course kingdom hearts^^
January 31, 201411 yr Ofcourse. You even have games that strive to be seen as art, such as Okami and Journey.
January 31, 201411 yr Video games are not art . Video games are "entertainment" . Edited January 31, 201411 yr by Nick Sideris
January 31, 201411 yr It makes me very happy that not one person has voted "No." on the poll. Ya had to go and say it.
January 31, 201411 yr I think a large number of video games with story are art, I remember being involved in an argument with someone who did art at GCSE and hated video games. I dream of a day decades from now, when videogame assignments are assigned instead of book assignments I had homework once in Computing to go home and play games.
