What is Art?
To me, art means many things and it also doesn’t mean anything at all. What I mean by this is that art can be anything, it can be a painting, drawing, film, dance and even a tradition. I do believe that art has a lot of meaning and it can be used to connect the artist with the viewer.
I think art also has the power to raise awareness to global issues. I also believe that art doesn’t always have to have meaning, the sense that it’s simply enjoyable to see is something I also see in art. Another thing with art is that I don’t believe art has to always look nice and realistic, sometimes art has to be abstract or out of the ordinary. Throughout
my years studying art, I’ve learned that art has no real definition and
just about anything can be considered art by the way it’s presented to the viewer. I think that’s one key to what is considered art, the way the artist presents the art and its purpose. In a sense, we are surrounded by art, but it's typically not considered art because it’s not in a museum, gallery or displayed at a public gathering. I think the definition of what really is art is left to the viewer to decide. Art has no rules!
