What is Art Part 1

I believe art is everything. Art can be random but I believe that it comes from hard work. It wouldn’t be art if there were no effort. If there’s effort it shows that there was thought in making it and it connects to expressing what you want to put out there then it would be art. Art should also be something that you take away from your perspective, maybe in life. Which I think makes art because it’s sharing someone’s point of view and it starts by creating something that expresses it by using art. I think the qualities art should have is it shows emotion, it doesn’t have to be anywhere fancy like the museum and it has colors to express feelings and thoughts. In my definition of art, moods, symbols and metaphors are what are used to express thoughts and feelings. I think it’s a different way to look at it instead of writing and having people read them. It’s much better to look at a picture with a whole story in one piece. Art is very important to me. It’s because I am an artist and I like to do a lot of art related things like drawing and using colors. I enjoy creating things that I take from my thoughts into what I want to see in paper. It’s also like therapy for me because it helps me express my feelings in a different way rather being bottled up and causing it to be stressful.I like having to draw out my feelings and still hide them in a picture. I can express anything and at the same time hide them. I think with art it shows more of how much you put into it. It shows hard work and how amazing it is to be able to create something with your own hands rather in the media. I guess if it’s using visual art, it looks more real. It can be real rather showing a picture. In my art piece, the qualities it should possess for it to be an actual art piece would be filled with colors. It will show shapes, the pictures would have balance between each other. I will make sure that it takes hard work to finish my piece because it’s part of what I think art is and colors I will use to represent a part of me.

The process for developing my definition of art did not took a while. I looked at a few pictures that were random. I determined what part of the picture I liked the ones that I don’t seem to like, and the ones that’s interesting. It’s changed my view on art; everything doesn’t have to be pretty to look at. That the first thing I notice about an art piece is colors, which makes it important in art. Even without researching what art is, I would see it everywhere and I realize it also doesn’t have to be in a museum that certain people can look at it, it should be shown in public where everyone can see it. I think art is beautiful. No matter what the art piece is like it depends on that person’s view what beautiful is. I decided to make my art visually. I will make a simple picture of a woman with an evening dress. I would like to make the dress stand out more. It would be a connection to fashion designing and I want to prove that as being art.
