What is art?
On page 522, in the Connect to Life exercise, you are asked to describe what you consider art.
Please respond in the comments below.
What is art? Is there such a thing as art in everyday life? Does anyone you know create art? Do you?
To me art is something that shows a story and can make people express different feelings. It doesn't necessarily have to be beautiful, when one is in kindergarten one takes art class. Are the paintings or drawings they do as great as the Mona Lisa? No but it's still considered art because in each students' painting or drawing they are telling a story. Maybe about their dog or family. I believe that art can be in everyday life. Gardens express what one likes in flowers or fruits and vegetables. Quilts, like in the story, can tell a story or how one is feeling by the colors or the stitching. I don't know if a person could be art though. People do show their stories and emotions by their appearance and what they say or do and as a result people express different feelings toward them. So maybe people are a form of art.
I think that art is something that is in any way shape or form created. It doesn't have to be appealing to everyone, just one person, even if its not you. Some signs of art are if the thing you are looking at makes you feel something or in some way causes you to express emotion. I think mainly that there are two types of art, the art of creating something and how you do it, and sometimes what comes out of that art of creation. An example would be that a person artfully arranges something like plants, like in the story. Then the act of doing that is art, as are the plants as a whole. I believe that I create a form of art, whether or not how good it is I really don't know. And honestly everyone creates or has created art in some way I think.
Art is a way of expressing emotions or feelings through creating something. A lot of things can be considered art like paintings and sculptures but it also goes beyond that. Art is also a result of what inspires someone. Poems and flower arrangements can also be art. It depends on how people look at it. The popularity of it isnt what makes it art. What makes something art is the actual being of it. Anything can inspire art to be made but it isnt the inspiration that is considered art but what a person makes with the inspiration.
I think that art can be expressed through many things. Art can be made from anything in the world. Many objects are inspiring to different people rather than others. I think the flowers, along with the way they are aranged in the story are art. Although the flowers are not yet arranged in a certain way, they still are inspiring and people look at them in different ways. In the story, the art of the flowers was turned into a personal peice of art that adds more human feelings to it.
I think that art is anything that someone takes the time to create. Anything from a garden, to a picture or painting counts as art. There are different degrees or "levels" of art though. There is the amatur and then the person who just does it for fun and then the people who create beautiful works of art for a living. i do believe that there is art in everyday life. The clothes people wear, what they produce in school or something in their home. Art can be as simple as the clay pots they painted for a relative. I know plenty of people who create art and yes sometimes I create art myself.
Art, in my opinion is something new that a person creates, from any medium, something people haven't seen before. But to be art the creator has to think of what it is he/she doing, and create it from an idea in their mind. You can't just splatter paint on a canvas and call it art, there has to be some purpose or planning, something you wish to express.
In my opinion, art is anything original that is created by a human and expresses some sort of emotion. Art is made every day, it just isnt necessarily good art. Drawing on a piece of paper is art, so is writing literature or poetry. Or it could be some sort of 3 dimensional art such as a sculpture. Music is also considered art to me. My sister is an artist, she goes to art school for photography. My mom could also be considered an artist because she is talented at drawing as well. I am not really an artist, but i create art by writing and maybe drawing here and there.
Art is anything created by a person to express and convey emotion or an idea. Stories, paintings, dancing, and cooking are all forms of art. They are used to express oneself and convey a message. I create art when I write, photograph, dance, etc. I know many others who create art such as everyone in this class because we have all written poems and stories which are forms of art.
Art is anything that a person does and exoresses an emotion and tells a story through the "art" they are making. What ther are doing has to have a purpose and a meaning behind it and they have to take time and think about it and perfect what it is. You can't just through something down and say it is art, there needs to be a reason behind whatever it is they are doing. Anyone can create art with pretty much anything that might inspire them or having meaning to them. Art can come in many different forms, like drawing and painting, sculpture, music, literature, photography, and many other things.
Art is any work that is expressive. To be considered art, the work must be creative and original. Anything that accomplishes this criteria is considered art. However, there are different levels of art, based upon the purpose of the work. Artists' works are purposely made to be art. That makes it a higher level of art than our poems. Although still art, we did not write the poems for the same purpose. We were striving to portray our understanding of Weisel's message, and striving for a good grade on the assignment. That makes our art less "art," but not necessarily less artistic. The levels depend on, in a way, whether or not it was made to be art.
I think art is something that is created by humans animals or nature that purges or expresses an emotion. There is such thing as art in everday life, it is just not art on the same level as works of art in a museum. I also don't think just drawings paintngs and pictures are art, anything can be art.
I agree with most of the people on here that art is anything that someone creates that expresses their feelings or makes the viewer feel a certain emotion. Like Shannon said, anything can really be art, not just things you'd find in a museum.
I believe that art is anything that can make you stop and think or ponder what is happening. Something that catches your eye and interest that you appreciate the work. Art can be paintings, sculptures, and drawings, but also nature and sceneey is also a part of art. For example, a sunset with the sun downing with the skylit like a pinkish purple, witha slight bright glare. That is an example from nature's scenery.
To me art is everything. Anything can be art in its' own way. It expresses the feelings and emotions of one and one's thoughts. Art can be music, feelings, a picture, colors ect. Art doesn't necessarily have to be "appealing", it could be just random paint thrown on a canvas. People have different expectations of art and everyone doesn't see art the same way.
To, me art is anything creative and can be tangeble or mental. It dosnt have to to be original, but it does have to be made by a living thing. a matchine cannot make art. There is art in everyday life, the art of your life story which is original, creative and one of a kind. You have the ability to shape it and mold it everyday making it your very own. SO in a way, i belive everyone creates art.
Art is anything that people spend time to create to express themselves through a painting, a drawing, or a poem. It also has to express some kind of emotion be it anything from sadness to humor. I think art exists in everyday life but at a lesser extent. In the level at art, most art we see everyday is at the lowest levels. My grandfather creates art. He lives in Flordia and spends his time drawing the scenes around him. Other than that, there's some people in this class who are artistic like Jeremy, Rachel, and Garrett.
Art is an object that any viewer can visual observe and synthesize. Behind every piece of art is a story and that story can be seen not only by the author but the viewer as well. Through the artwork one can use their senses to acquire the emotions and feelings derived from the art. Also art can be considered anything that gives you a different viewpoint or perspective on something from before.
I think that art is something that someone can either see or hear and feel emotion about. I think art can also be something that inspires someone or provokes thought. Yes I believe there is art in everyday life but its not as noticeable as art in a musuem. For example a hand made blanket would be considered art however, it would not be on the level of a painting such as the Mona Lisa. So, yes there is art but it all varies in forms and level of art it is.
I think that art is a way that humans express feelings and emotions. Any way that one can show personality or opinions on a subject by creating something visual can be considered art. I agree with Sam that talents such as singing and acting can also be known as art. I think anything can be art if there are enough feelings and thought into the creation or action.
