what's art to you?

Question

what do you think is art?

Answer 1

art is like a mirror and what u draw is a reflection of what you are going through or been through.

Answer 2

I don't claim to know much about art, but to me it is any man made picture/painting/sculpture, that gives you an emotional reaction of some kind.

There's a lot of stuff out there under the label of 'art' which is just a load of crap in my opinion. But as I said, I don't claim to know much about art.

Answer 3

Art can describe several things: a study of creative skill, a process of using the creative skill, a product of the creative skill, or the audience’s experience with the creative skill. The creative arts (art as discipline) are a collection of disciplines (arts) that produce artworks (art as objects) that are compelled by a personal drive (art as activity) and echo or reflect a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (art as experience). Artworks can be defined by purposeful, creative interpretations of limitless concepts or ideas in order to communicate something to another person. Artworks can be explicitly made for this purpose or interpreted based on images or objects.

Art is something that stimulates an individual's thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses. It is also an expression of an idea and it can take many different forms and serve many different purposes.

in the end art is the begining of my life and thats where it will end.

Answer 4

True art is being able to express yourself and your feelings in any media. Other people's interpretation of it doesn't matter. I have admired Marcel Duchamps Nude Descinding a Stair case but disliked Andy Warhol's soup can posters. I recently made a tin woodsman out of old cans and a funnel. I did it to be creative and many people told me it was true art. I wonder . . .

Answer 5

Something created by another person that invokes a feeling within you.

I have thought about this question for years, and although I don't necessarily like all art that I see, if it invokes me to comment or react, then I consider it art. If it stirs nothing within my soul or anyone else's, then it is not art.

Answer 6

What Is Art For You

Answer 7

Art is creativity and self-expression. It comes in many different forms. For example, literature, music and painting are all forms of art. Art is also unique. Although some might imitate a certain style, it cannot be duplicated, not only for copyright considerations, but because every artist has his or her own interpretation. This is the way it should be, because what is uninteresting to one person is utterly fascinating to another. Art is the embellishment of life.

Answer 8

To me, the definition of art is: an expression of self; a way of communicating ideas, emotions, morals, values, and the like. Art is all around us: in the obvious - sculptures, paintings, books, movies, and music, as well as the not-so-obvious - tv commercials, a woman's hairstyle, the "Letter to the Editor" written by a neighbor in your local newspaper.

And, because I believe in a higher power, to me, all nature is art as well. Trees, clouds, animals, and also just people - because it was all created by God, it must be an expression of His self, a communication to us here on earth. (Oh, and this is just my reasoning - I hope I'm not offending anyone.)

So, that's what art is to me. =)

Answer 9

To me art is anything that stirs me emotionally, or intellectually. It doesn't have to be a massive work. It could be something as simple as a wonderfully prepared meal arranged on a plate, or a childs creative drawing at the age of 5.
Art is like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder!

Answer 10

Art is everything around me. Art can be found in anything that anyone created, from a photograph print to the t-shirt you're wearing to the song you just listened to. Art can be so many different things and have multiple meanings to everyone. That's what makes art so amazing, and that's why we need more art in our schools!

Answer 11

Art is an act that creates a connection between people. Art is what makes a group of individuals into to something greater that their parts.
