| Banksy "keep your coins I want change", this art work is made from Graffiti on a brick wall and expresses the feelings deeply. making the viewers think of what our world has come to be. |
Art is the expression of someones feelings being applied to their skill of creativity and imagination. in which it is usually presented in a way of being visualized by others, it can be presented in ways of paintings, sculptures, drawings, pastels, graffiti, and specifically oriented shapes. in some cases art can have many hours of work put into it and others can have very little put into it, and it can be considered art just by the way it is interpreted by people. since people doing so are granted the opportunity to create amazing works of art and are able to be produced and appreciated by all.
What Is In between Art and Not Art?
The work that is in between art and not art are works that could be art but at the same time not art, as if it was interversal. an example of something that is in between art and not art is packaging because the advertisements are supposed to be appealing to the eyes, but at the same time its is a product that is meant to be eaten and not admired forever.
What Isn't Art
In a way any inanimate object can be seen as art; but it all matters on the perspective you have on it. For example, a rock is art, it has symmetrical ridges, color contrast to the area it is placed, texture, and many more; in which most people would not consider a rock being art.
As you can see this rock formation is appealing to the
eye because of it's distinctive ridges, texture, color
formation, line structure, and shading. most people when
they see this picture would assume it is not art but yet it is.
Aidan, two of your points caught my attention. First, I appreciate that you have mentioned the time investment that may affect one artwork compared to another. Some people value art much more if they can see that more time has been used in the preparation of the piece.
ReplyDeleteThe next, and perhaps my favourite point from your post is the observation that art can be something as simple as a rock, depending on your point of view. This kind of appreciation of objects can extend into a deeper dialogue, or argument, that questions the validity of many artworks.
You might enjoy looking at some of the "ready-made" pieces from Dada artists. If you have the chance, take a look at their art as well as their manifesto. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
