Artifact 2: What is Art For?
Objectives:
- Explore the nature of art
- Understand the definition of art
- Developed the artistic perspectives of thinking
Reflection:
I think the definition of art is a carrier which express human value, and the point of art is artist because art conveys thought of artists. The definition of human value is the way people observe and treat things. For me, art is live universal, because art could create everything with nothing. I like art because I could acquire some personal and feeling adn opinions from observing and enjoying art. Art makes me to be a better man as I mentioned in the Artifact #1 that I built up my values through my artistic experiences. According to the article mentioned “There, while there is no abstract concept of “art” everyone may be an artist-decorating their bodies and possessions, dancing, singing, versifying, performing-even when some person are acknowledged as being more talented or skillful than others.” (Page 21) Everyone could be artist, because art is about expression, sharing, and learning. Like the person talked in the clip, he said that everyone is artist, but artist have to be honest. This clip called “What is Art For”, and different people with variety of background talk about art. I think the opinion from those people is the most nature opinion about art.
To be specific, different forms art has different influences, such as music and dance. Music is a language that is an expression of support. Music has a powerful capability because it directly goes into the depths of your heart. Painting is one of the most important art form of art. It reflects the reality of life, but also contains the author’s real-life experience reflecting the artist’s thoughts and feelings and worldview, and also gives the beauty, people are educated from beauty to enjoy. Dance is a performing art using body to complete a variety of elegant or difficult moves. Dance itself has diverse social significance and role, including sports, ritual, and etiquette and so on.
In the future:
For now, I consider art with more personal feeling. In the future, I am going to broaden my horizons to think about art from a bigger side of picture.
