What is art?
What is art? This is a question that if you ask one hundred people you would get one hundred different answers. Art to some is scribbles or junk to another. I find that I enjoy paintings that are realistic. I do not like paintings that are unrealistic in that subjects are too large or small for their surroundings. One of my favorite paintings is “The betrothal of the Arnolfini” is realistic and shows the love between a husband and a wife, or a man and a woman who are ready to vow their lives to each other. This makes me think of my wedding day and how nervous and happy I was. When you look into your partners eyes and see the love they have for you is one of the greatest moments in a couple’s life. I find that I do not respond to abstract art as intensely as I do to realistic paintings. I find that it is chaotic and very disturbing. “The Scream” by Edward Munch is very gothic and dark. It portrays death and dark times in one’s life. It is a dark paining with a lot of black color in it. It is depressing and sad to me. The content of art can is important if the painting is that of an impressionistic meaning. If the painting is of realistic and common subjects then content is very important as it shows expressions and feelings the artist is trying to portray. As with an author the content of his writing I important in order to convey the meaning of what the author is saying otherwise it would only be a bunch of words with no meaning. Art doesn’t have to be paintings it can be sculptures or any medium. The work of Michelangelo in the sculpture of “David” is also considered art. This sculpture was done in marble during the renaissance period. This was a period in history where many famous artists were born and it was also a time of great creations of art. Today we see sculptures made of metal and plastic. There are sculptures made from aluminum cans and tools to the floats in the rose parade made from flowers. All is considered art and has its
