What Advice Would You Offer To Those Looking For Inspiration?

Do we finish with the works of art that we undertake or do they finish with us? I think works of art finish with us. I think when it comes to art, it 's all subjective at the end of the day which means that everybody will take in art differently, but at the end of the day the art won 't feel the same forever. For example, when you listen to an album for the first time, considering music is considered art, you might listen it for months, but then after awhile you get bored with it. So with that being said, we finish with art, art doesn 't finish with us.
Do artists finish with the work or does the work finish with them?
I think artists finish with the work, not the work finishing with them. I think every artist starts a project and

    In my mind art is a necessity. It's something that every home and business should have. Without it, a room is just a square box, devoid of emotion, feeling, and excitement. When you look at one of my paintings you can see the emotion, and love that went into each one. Each piece is personal…

    Imagination is what gives art life metaphorically. If something is not imaginative at an artistic standpoint, it has no influence over people. Consider if Shakespeare was not imaginative, his writings would not have been as valued as they are today. Art should have a limit on whether or not it should have a political or social function. In the world today, art could be interpreted very negatively and have a bad effect on society.…

    Elbert Hubbard once said “Art is not a thing; it is a way.” Art is all around us; from the floor we walk on, to the color of the walls around us, to the music we listen to on the radio. Many kids have taken on a lot of different forms that did not exist many years ago. Today, we fill our world with street art not exactly thought about to be art like mimes, circus acts, puppetry, mask theater, vaudeville, and storytelling through movement (Rapp 4). Art is an essential part of our society today and has been for many years.…

    Art has played an important role in human culture for ages; even before the term “art” exists. In the essay “The Trouble with (the Term) Art”, Carolyn Dean questions about the universal definition of “art”, and examines “the consequences of identifying art in societies where such a concept did or does not exist” (p. 26). As the title of the article suggests, the term “art” provokes many discussions and questions. Although we have known the term “art” probably since we are in kindergarten, many of us neglect the profoundness of this simple term. Dean starts off by pointing out that “art” is an ambiguous term because of the differences in people’s aesthetic.…

    Art is a subjective matter. As I learned in AP Art History, what might be ugly to one person is beautiful to another. Art is also an easy skill to pick up. Anyone who is able to write is also able to draw and paint. It is a matter of diligence, motivation and passion for art that differentiates the average Joe from the next Michelangelo.…

    When looking at coming to the conclusion of whether or not we like an art piece, one needs to question why. Art can be good, or bad, and their are many characteristics that can help determine whether or not it is good or not. Although the visual aspect is important, the difference in the artist can make just as big of a difference. Artists who are worldly renown are given more credit toward their work, or at least more positive critiques. Looking at the artwork of Grant Wood, two pieces stand out to me.…

    The traditional view of art has changed over time just as most things have. Naturally, the act of perception has differed opinions on what society considers as art. Dance, paintings, photography, drawings, music, literature, and sculpting, are what comes to mind when contemplating the aspects of art. The limitation to defining a word so opinionated leaves out room for self-expression. The traditional ideas of what is considered art should be broadened; granted, although not tangible, art can be seen through ambitions, emotions, and expression through appearances when not limited to the customary definition.…

    As this semester comes closer to the end, I think of all the usual information I have learned from taking this course and how I see the world and the concept of how art is in every little thing we do. We pass buildings and restaurants every day to learn that a construction team built those buildings to look a certain way that the hiring company wanted them too. I am stating this because everyone has a different way they look at art and how they perceive it. I asked my friends to accompany to the Kennedy Museum to look at the “Two Grey Hills Navajo Weavings” that have been on display for awhile and I have heard some people talking about the display.…

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…
