Do you think that advertising are an art form, or purely business oriented?

Business can not run successfully unless advertised. A successful business depends upon an artistic advertisement. Advertising itself is a business and an advertiser can not succeeded unless he provides artistic advertising service. You must have observed that most of the business advertisements do not attract the attention of the viewers just because the advertisements are not presented artistically with fun.  So business and advertising both are directly linked with artistic fun.

Advertising is a form of art used to generate more business.

Designing is important in Advertising which is linked with Art. It helps in attracting the customer towards product / service. However, mostly advertising is business oriented. 

Advertising is definitely business oriented for it is a key factor for its success. But then making ads, now that is an art that few can master, a smart funny and an eye catching ad that will truly end up as an artistic masterpiece, well only a creative artist can achieve one. So do all businesses need the creative artist perspective? If one intends to succeed, every business does. It needs to be integrated in many different parts of the business too and not just in advertising.

As per definition advertising is a form of marketing communication used to persuade an audience to take or continue some action, usually with respect to a commercial offering, or political or ideological support. So, to conclude it is a form of art created to generate business.

advertising is an art form  to attract the customers 

Advertisement is an art of highlighting the characteristics (of the product or service you provide) so, it would inspire the individuals to buy. Of course, as everything else in this world, there is a purpose behind. Ramadan Kareem Dina!

Advertising is business must be sold in an artistic form, advertising is all about human industry, as it one of the main factors that form the human insights and human decisions, so you must utilize this industry in an artistic form so you can reach to your business goals.Hope I was clear

Yes. I think advertising is an art of form because it must be needed to increase sales volume of products. By advertising, people can know about your product. It is universal truth that when you advertise more, then sales volume will be increased and profit margin will be increased at high range. 

It's actulally a combiantion of both

I highly disagree, Advertising is a creative process to sell art solutions on businesses.
