What value does Art have in Buddhism?


i'm curious topic, , forward hearing ideas.... here's supplementary ponderings add main question:

buddhist views art? (visual art, music, literature etc etc.). purpose buddhists believe art have, if any?

dalai lama said people must try find happiness @ "mental level" opposed "sensory level" through things such movies , music. "it's not deep," said. "genuine satisfaction must come mental level, love, compassion, forgiveness. "through these ... it's long lasting satisfaction. "satisfaction ... through sensory level short satisfaction." (cited from: http://www.dalailama.com/news/post/451-young-people-can-change-the-world-dalai-lama)

- though, can art not people gain happiness @ mental level - in way can learn speaking, can not learn art? - form of communication after all, isn't it? so, can art develop things compassion?

why, also, buddhist temples incredibly intricate , visually impressive in design? don't buddhists create mandalas? - purpose of these?

on note, dalai lama seems teach in video artists should "give people hope" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzv0enzjbow .

how can art consume today (the music listen to, films watch etc etc.) more buddhist? how can give people hope? how can end suffering, , create mental peace?

can creating art type of meditation artist? can focal point of meditation observer?

there any, specifically, buddhist artists? - and, definition of buddhist art be?

realise there many, many different questions here. ideas may have particular aspect appreciated! thank you!
