Can you define the meaning of Art?
Art is one of the ways that cultures maintain and propagate themselves into the future. From this point of view the autonomy of systems for tiling, weaving, decoration, border patterns and so on is a strong survival adaptation. Art is so important in the life of man and society that from the beginning of civilization tyrants have tried to control it. Keep the horizons of art no wider than the expectations of the rulers and you have kept a people under control. Art is an attempt to impart meaning (hopefully something insightful and nonobvious about the world) through craft.
Art is sometimes thought to include only certain groups of people and to exclude others. Art is frequently held to be a plaything of the wealthy because of the time required to pursure artistic endeavors and the cost of obtaining them. But art allows anyone to experience emotions and thoughts, because it now includes not only the artist’s ideas but those that the viewer brings to the artistic work. It can be used to educate, propagandize, control, and convert people to new ways of thinking. This is effective because art uses our automatic responses to biological stimulation in novel ways.
Art is part of being human, of living: it’s part of everyone’s experience, not just the experts’. Art is an expression of one’s creative impulse, one’s emotions, beliefs, and ideas. Art is a teacher, and at the same time it provides a way for a person to show the world something new and exciting.
The Artist has freedom of expression, as well as the people that interpret the art. Contemporary art sets up communication from viewers and the artist. Nara and Takano use children as the main subject in almost all of the art they do. Nara creates scenes made of anger and rebellion in children. Takano shows the innocence of children with nude girls. Frido Kahlo and Damien Hirst are true artist by Dickies definition. Dickies are theory makes it possible for two works of art to be listed under the same heading of art.
Art is used by some therapist and is known as art therapy. In the end the goal is to heal through creative art.
Art is not a luxury but an essential part of life and human experience. Art is a method of representing man’s interpretation of his environment and communicating that interpretation to others. As such, all art has to be intelligible. Art is a vital component of the human experience. Thats why I gave my kids biographies of Dali , Pollock, and Picasso written for young people.
