The three categories of intellectual standard shown in the video why art matters are depth, significance, and relevance.  It reminds us the importance and impact art has on our society and how we also tend to forget how art surrounds us. We are able to recognize the significance of art when it is mentioned by the first speaker that we live in a visual world. When you roam around New York City structures in awe, you don’t necessarily think of there purpose you just know that that building has rooms where people sit and either work or do there daily routines. We don’t think about who made these structures or what materials are used. We just know its purpose and don’t realize that architecture is a form of art.  Art has an importance we all seem to take for granted without it we wouldn’t have four walls or the notion of what the luxury of an apartment is.

Through Depth we realize how a piece of artwork can have a deeper meaning and express a different array of emotions for the one observing the piece and the one who created it. Another speaker mentions how it’s all about seeing beyond the first impression a piece gives you. How when you stop and take a breath you may notice a detail or two that you may have not seen before. For example, when looking at an abstract piece one may find it meaningless scribbles compared to what a portrait of someone may convey to them. But if given a closer look or by really absorbing its features it may pose some interesting questions. Like what was the artist feeling when they created this or what was they trying to communicate to their audience.

As we sit back and think about the relevance of arts purpose. We notice how art shapes the world we created, how trains function, how blueprints are made, and how the art matters movement impacts how we communicate with each other. Art matters to the people because it allows us to evolve our way of thinking by producing perspectives and allowing everyone to have an opinion of it. By allowing everyone to communicate different points and come together to create discussion.
