I'm not sure I understand the art question so I'll answer the one about talents.
God gives people talents so that they will have something meaningful to do with their life. It gives you a purpose. If you're a good singer, you can put that talent to good use by become a popstar or something. It's a way of sharing your what you're good at to inspire others and honor your god for giving you the talent.

Maybe reconsider the format of your question. Words like "create" and "give" imply that you, the artist or talented person, do not have control of your life. When we try to force the issue of God in questions like this, we tend to minimize ourselves.
Maybe, just maybe, no one "gave" you a talent. Instead, could it be possible that you worked hard to become talented?
I do not minimize myself.I definitely believe that working hard and sticking to it till the end can overcome many things.And no matter how talented we are,we should also have to make great efforts to be successful.When it comes to art,it became harder,we can only be nearer to art and beauty after all.
On the other hand,I absolutely believe in talents too. I learn music since i was little, i know that good ears (absolute pitch) ,musicality ,creativity or appreciation in art or something else DO have things to do with talents(also can be improved by efforts but talents affect really greatly). No one would deny the exist of talents in art.When u listen to yo yo ma's performances or Mozart's works or other great artists' works,they are the mix of talents and efforts.
What makes me ask these questions was that i found someone who was a singer also an actor was so stunning,and out of my imagination.i know he worked really hard on his career,but from his amazing performances or by his face,he got such a beautiful face just between women and men,children and adults,he is no doubts a genius in art and born to be a beauty.With this shock,making me reconsider that what God creates art or beauty for?Are there other deeper meanings except amusing people?God created us out of love,then art?Could anyone give me a clear explanation?
same as mine.I also think talents are given to honor God.But art?Beauty?There are many ways to honor God,such as being like him or something else.Art includes more.We ourselves get involved in art,and what exactly that such stunning beauty should be worked on?
