#10: What is art?

[DawnOfXatu]

But from your reaction it seems that it has drawn emotion. It has drawn anger, which may have been the artists intention.

 

[Zyflair]

Perhaps, maybe everything can be considered art then...

 

[Ka$h Money]

All art is an expression. It can be anything. It is all down to preferences really as some would say a naked women is innapropriate whilst others say it is a work of art.

But IMO art can be anything as long as it conveys a meaning or a message

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

The art of art is not the piece of art itself, but convincing others that it is art. The Mona Lisa wouldn't be nearly as impressive if there weren't this much hype.

Something being beautiful doesn't make it art, something generating an emotion (be it sadness, happiness, anger, or even disappointment) does not make it art. Getting something in a museum does.

I say we just don't care about whether or not something is art, and look at it for what it is, not what others are telling us what it is. The entire premise of trying to define "art" is silly. "Art" has to be the silliest word around.

Fact: A team of scientists sold a picture painted by monkeys throwing paint at a peice of paper to an art gallery for £10,000 claiming for it to be modern art.

Opinion: Just sayin

I guess I'm in the same boat as Mr. Spoon on this topic. xP

 

[DarthPika]

There is art, and then there is stuff that people like to call "art".

 

[Ka$h Money]

Something created by humans and labelled art is art yah get me?

 

[shaymin707]

I just wrote "Art" on my hand with a sharpie. Guess my hands art now, eh?

I see the point of it. I suppose I'll have to agree with this one.

 

[dmaster]

Art is made from human creativity. So it's to each individual person to judge (beautiful or ugly).

dmaster out.

 

[Medaforcer]

I don't think there is a real definition for it, but there are flat out dumb forms of art.

 

[PokeChamp]

I don't really think art has a definition. To one's eyes, someone's work may look like "art" to them, or it may not. Beauty is the eye of the beholder, after all.

Well the human body is a piece of art already so you are right

 

[Metricus]

Art is anything that has to be imagined, thought up, or created. As for beauty, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is simply an opinion or perception.

 

[esperante]

There is art, and then there is stuff that people like to call "art".

There are posts, and then there are sad excuses like this which on this forum somehow still consider "posts".


Art can be anything. To say something isn't art because you don't agree with its appearance or the standard by which it was made is simply closed-minded.

 

[ditto_rules]

Anything and everything is art. It only dependson how you think of it. Hey, I just made a peice of ART.

 

[~Magma King~]

Art is something with artistic qualities.

 

[afstandopleren]

wow, this has GOT to be the first thread where people are walking in circles legally on a forum.

 

[PokeKid Brandon]

Art is something created to visually please the eye.
