What is art?

                  To me, art is just doing something you love doing. Art can be as simple as your favorite hobby. Weather its singing, dancing, playing guitar or like Mark in Lost in Place, you can be doing tiquando. As long as you are doing something that comes from your heart and doing it honestly, that is art. If you’re making something for profit, or to look cool or just for fame, that is not art. There is no passion in money. Sometimes, you might see a painting and just think what is this? I could have drawn this when I was in 4^th grade. This happens because, once again, we all don’t not see everything the same. In fact, no one sees anything like you do because you’re the only you. It takes a good artist to be able to sway people into viewing art that he/she made.

 

              What is art? No one can really tell you what art is, because we see all art differently. I might look at a cloud and say it’s a snake. Someone else might say it’s a lighthouse. Another person will see it differently, because we all view things differently. That’s why I think you cannot really tell someone what art is. You can explain that art is a painting or sculpture or a song made by a creative person.  According to Dictionary.com, “art is the quality, production or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance”. This really just means something that has good or unique quality that is appealing to an audience.

         

      

                   I am very privileged and happy to be coming to a school with such artists. Everywhere you look; there are dancers, actors, directors, writers, musicians and designers. All of these students are blooming and budding with these talents and creative skills. I am coming here with an open mind, wanting to evolve my mind and experience all the art the students here have to offer.
