What makes some paintings so valuable?

A painting will be very precious if it is the work of a famous artist. Painters such as Da Vinci, Van Gogh or Picasso became so popular that their art is highly estimated, and one painting can cost millions of dollars. I guess their style was unique or very innovative at the time. A painting could also be valuable because of the time the artist spent on it.

   What kinds of art can people see in public places?
   

In my hometown, there are many statues in different parks. The local government asked some local artists to share their sculptures with the public. It is a very good idea, and these works of art give a special atmosphere to the parks. In addition, I regard architecture as a kind of art too. So people can see beautiful facades in the old quarter of the city, as well as at the local temples. On top of this, there are quite a few art museums in bigger cities. It is a good chance for everyone to experience local art and learn about the artistic methods or skills needed to create it. In terms of craftsmanship, it is usually more common to see these arts in the countryside. I went to Hunan last year, and in a small village, there was a woman who showed us how they used to weave in the past. She had a very old weaving machine, and she showed us her work. It was so precise: it seemed difficult but yet so beautiful! You should have seen the table mats she made: gorgeous!
