This image seemed to represent my first five elements of my description of art. I enjoyed this activity a lot because I felt like I was fulfilling a lot of the elements I described when I thought about art and the work of an artist. Dissanayake explains how “art” is usually referred to as an object (paintings, pictures, sculptures, dances, etc.), but works of art are the result of an artist’s behavior. When art is regarded as making something special, we can see it in many different forms (things we cook, an outfit we wear, rituals in everyday life). Dissanayake says, when we look at art this way, we are making the things we care about special. (pg.24). For this reason, I most definitely believe that these collages are a perfect representation of art. I think almost anything can be considered art. “Art” is in the opinion of the viewer/artist and how we feel as individuals.
