Questions 1 - 6 are from the Lesson 1 Worksheet
How do we define art? |
Art is many things, as it is everywhere and in everything, not just in paintings and sculptures, but graffiti, and music itself.
Ability, process, and product are but a few of the definitions of art. Ability - art is ability in that we are able to create beautiful things, which can "speak" to us; being creativity. Process - using drawings, paintings, sculptures, architecture, and taking photos, defines art as a process (being the actual creating of the "piece"), which is ever-changing as artists are using and experimenting with different materials. Product - the completed work, whatever that may be. Art is as unique as the artist creating the work, each artist is inspired by different circumstances and upbringing, which are: the personality of the individual, the time period, the place, and the culture. When viewing a piece of art, we need to think about certain things: Why was it created? and What is it's purpose? |
