Art

The blog this time is  about Art. What is Art. What do I believe art. I believe art can take place in many different shapes sizes and forms. When someone hears the word art, the thing that usually comes to mind is a painting, or a drawing , or a picture. Something like the Mona Lisa or Picasso pop up into their mind. Some more advanced people think of art in certain different ways. Instead of Pablo Picasso or some other famous painter, they might think of a symphony composer, like Beethoven. Some people may even think of people like one direction, or Justin Bieber when they think of art… After all, they are called artists. In my opinion though, real art is whatever it is that people can appreciate. If someone can appreciate the Mona Lisa, then it is art. If someone can appreciate and see the beauty in the Beatles and their music, then their music is art. If someone can appreciate a pile of garbage and say the smell and way the trash arranged is beautiful and it has meaning to them, it is art to them. Some people, like me for example, hate One Direction or Justin Beiber and their music, and do not appreciate or see the beauty in it. It is definitely not art… to me at least. In other things though, I appreciate, like certain good books. Small steps, or holes for example. Those are really good books that I appreciate and understand and see the value in them. This is art to me. Other people might just see them as letters on a paper that don’t mean anything and aren’t valueable at all except for the paper and ink that were used to make the book, but to me it has value and meaning, and that’s why its art to me. This is only one example. The book is a piece of art by Louis Sachar, and I can see it.

                There are many different types of art though. There is the traditional view of art we see, as paintings and drawings and pictures and caricatures. There is art in the sense of music. The art of music and the art of the piano, or the guitar. There is the art of speech, how people talk and persuade or get a point across. There is the art of the English language, that many people are interested in. The art of war, yes some people do appreciate and see the value of war. There is actually a good book titled the art of war. There is the art of competition, in sports, or anything else. There are many different types of art, besides just the traditional types that we see, like paintings and such.     

                After all of this, explaining all these different types of art, I hope you learned something, and now see things in a new light, in my perspective. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean its not art, and art can be many different things you never thought of. Art comes in many different forms, and something that is valuable and artful to you, may not be artful to someone else. A pile of trash can art to someone, while a golden Porche 911 wouldn’t be art to someone else. Our different views in things make so many things art, and so many things, not art. Even the Mona Lisa might not be art to certain people who don’t know how to appreciate it.
