...how? (keep in mind, i know hardly anything about objectivism)

the stuff that isn't done for the pure pleasure of skill in movement, composition, sound, etc.--yeah, basically. Except it's probably a bit more specific than 'has a point', else you could say advertising is Art. It's more like the point isn't one of utility but of meaning, truth, insight, something more like that. Where the point is the interpretation itself, rather than what your interpretation will make you buy, which is more a use-value. Lol, now I'm going back to like medieval and classical thinking--art is not for money! art is for its own sake! I'm pretty sure Augustine said that any actor who got paid was not a true artist because he wasn't doing art for its own sake, or something.
