I'm potter. Visual artists DEFINITELY ask why we draw pictures. We just had the big national potters' conference this spring, and a main topic of discussion over lunch was "why do we do this when the world has tons of beautiful pottery by the masters already, China can make the everyday stuff cheaper and faster than I can by hand, and joining Doctors Without Borders might be more 'useful.'" At yet, there we all were, not just making our own works, but actively trying to recruit new students to the glories of playing in the mud all day.
