What is art ?

[Charms]

I know we all have diffrent tastes in everything. The world would be extreamly boring if we were all exactly like each other.

 

I love art. Art to me comes in many diffrent ways.

 

Therd are some things I dont class as art. 1 example is thd bannana tapped to thd wall that sold for 6.2 million USA dollars

 

To me art is thing like claude monet ***ted amongest other things. I said monet as lots of people know of him. But hes not the only artist I love.

 

Do you think music can be a art form or is it just music ?

 

Sorry humans its 1of my random nights 4 thoughts zooming around in my head .

 

There are a few of mybother random questions on here

[Charms]

Why as the word pai nted been changed to ****

 

That word i thought was not agaisnt the rules.

Music, theatre, photography, all fall under art. The ways in which creative expression can be displayed is art to me. Now the study of art is a whole other story and art is also interdisciplinary so there are many factors that goes in to looking ( possibly critiquing) and creating the art itself.

Of course!

The banana duct taped to a wall is art. It's bad art, but its still art. Mainly because art is subjective. It's purpose is to create a feeling and/or make a statement. I think it falls into the latter category about society. Specially that we live in a society that placed more value in a banana and a few inches of duct tape than someone's life earnings. It of course caused an uproar about it and that is the point. It evoked an emotion and made a statement in one simple piece.
I'd say bad art is confusing or pointless if it can't evoke emotions or make a clear statement.

Art IMHO is something that cannot be replicated in another way. It’s organic, it’s human, not robotic at all. Nothing digital about it at all. It’s genuine, authentic, it’s its own thing that makes it unique. And it’s only good on doing what it can do or what it can be. It cannot replicate other things. That’s art to me.

[lo****]

Art is something beautiful that humans are uniquely capable of doing. We use art to convey complex emotions and feelings with other humans. Music is also art^w^ its just a different medium. Art is very subjective and what may be very mundane and boring to one, might move another to tears:D its a beautiful thing

Its a conspiracy between rich people and the artists to make the poor people feel stupid ... sometimes... atleast when you sell it ...

[lo****]

Most of my friends are broke 20 something yr olds that do it purely for the joy of doing art

[Dr****]

Honestly I say the same thing the world would be boring. That music is art, I would say art is visual or vocal depictions that try to tell something in a unique or pleasant style.

It's because it contains the word païn, and the detection software used here isn't clever enough to realise that.

 

It will always censor a banned word that is part of a longer word 🤦‍♂️ ridiculous I know...

Yes, I agree that music absolutely is an art form - and when you listen to some particular pieces, how could it not be? Just like dance, drama, poetry, even circus skills (and so much more), art is a broad field.

[ca****]

But is it ART? 

Has always been a short / sharp saying that I like.   

- from a questioning point of view, which dovetails nicely with the original question..  what is it
- also from a challenging (disruptive) point of view - as I often find there's a lot of bullshit / bollocks talked / discussed and read into art - which conflicts nicely with the idea that 'Is it ART' is ultimately decided in the eye of the beholder (in my mind)

To me many things can be  and are ART.

A piece that moves your emotions

To me, art is the human body every one exquisitely crafted and different. I loved being the art when I would pose for art classes etc. Being immortalized in someone else’s vivid view of the world and my minute portion of that is a mind fuck that has satisfied me over an over.

Iv always said the human body is the rarest an most beatiful art in the world. No to humans are the same. Even identical twins are slightly diffrent 

[PresentisPeculiar]

Art to me is defined as a new lens, or sharing the artists lens, in looking at the world or items or processes, etc. The artist is lending you their eyes.

No judgement

Art is a question mark? As it always should be

Not always. Art doesnt have to cost a tone of cash to buy it. Yes sometimes art goes for crazzy amount of *** . Specaily if an artiset is dead. Sadly alot of artists get told there works no good while there alive. So never get the ***

[PresentisPeculiar]

Art is just borrowing the artist,'s lens and looking at the world through the artists eye and flavor or ease. Esoteric, literal, abstract, impressionistic ..you are seeing the artists misenor do is through their eyes, and that is why art can evoke such emotion. We spend all day every day in our own head and eyes...she. If js perfect. To see the world from a new POV brings emotion
