The Definition of Art
With the video I made, I hoped to show that art is something unique and intimate. I didn’t have to look far to find art in my life. When you watch my video, you may just see blankets. Nevertheless, I see art. To me, those blankets represent that art is personal and distinctive. The blankets and the video are both pieces of art I cherish, though I am the artist of one, and my grandmother is the artist of the other.
Seeing different artists’ work made me realize that art is whatever the artist thinks it is. And you know what? No one can contest what you think is art. So be brave, be unique, and explore the art that you love best. It’s yours.
I can’t believe that the semester is over! I am glad that we got to experience several forms of dance and art. I also learned that art is the way you perceive things around you and that a lot of art is different. How would you define what art is and what makes it personal to you? Why were you not very fond of some of the events?
