It depends on how imagination is applied....but to answer your question, no I would not say imagination is art.

I am as interested in getting in a discussion about defining art as I am in water torture. My point still stands that without artists we would still be living in caves. I think that being an artist doesn't mean you can't be something else. There are certainly doctors, lawyers and business people who are artists in both the traditional sense as well as artists in their own right.

Salvanas says he would sacrifice 50 artists for three doctors, but there are all kinds of doctors. I would hope the artistic talents of those poor artists are transferred to those doctors so they can find the most creative and effective ways to solve their patients' dilemmas.
