What is art? Ive been mulling this over for a bit now.
Art is something that stirs the viewer's emotion, in a limitless direction.
Art is a purging of the creators emotions.
A statement.
An accident.
A masterpiece on a ceiling. Finely detailed wood carvings.
I also believe art to be naturally all around us. Erosion, fertilization, growth.
A stroll through a wooded path, a stroll through an ornate museum.
So what is NOT art. I have no answer.
On another note, Ive researched the three artists we will be viewing at the Buffalo Arts Studio. Im looking forward to seeing the works in person as the images on the computer do not seem to do them justice. I like Megan Greene the best, but I think there will be more to see up close.
Very good perpective, I also enjoyed the art gallery. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said art is a statement.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I like this post! Very thoughtful. After having seen the BAS show in person, do you still like Megan Greene's work the most? Did anything surprise you?
ReplyDeletei dont think i was suprised but i liked megan greene's work even more in person. it was a lot af pretty swirls and colors from afar, but up close got intrestingly detailed.
