Part One
My mother has always had a passion for art and would drag
me to art museums in every city we travelled. When I was
younger I wished I could see what my mother saw in the art but
it just did not move me in the same way. I thought the paintings,
sculptures, etc. Were beautiful but I did not see the special
meaning behind the art that my mother saw. As I got older I
developed a passion for the written word especially poetry but
good short stories or novels as well. Certain poems could move
me to tears like the art that moved my mother in the art
museums and I realized art is personal and moved different
people in different ways.
Overtime I have gained a deeper self awareness to my
connection to art and its purpose (Rockwell, 2011). While I
enjoy the beauty in many cases I am moved by the historical
significance or the reason behind why the art was created. I am
moved by art and its connection to the past but have seen pieces
of art that take my breath away. I no longer try to understand
the meaning of the art just allow myself to enjoy its actual
creation. My only art teacher was my mother. I love to write but
she is an artist. Some people are just born with the ability to
draw anything and that is my mother. Popular culture has a
heavy influence on art and as society changes art leaves behind
a record of cultures of the past.
Part Two
Art should be defined by the creator and the beholder. The
creator of the art will define the art based on their personal
perceptions, feelings, inspirations, etc. while the beholder will
develop their own personal viewpoint about the art and its
purpose. Art can be a type but does not conform to any specific
definition. Art is anything that is created with love and passion.
Everyone has different viewpoints of what is art. For some
people art is painting of beautiful landscapes while for others
art is a magnificent building or an interesting story.
Aristotle’s statement "The aim of art is to represent not the
outward appearance of things, but their inward significance" is
both right and wrong. Art is the creation of a thought or an
emotion as well as the creation of an object. Due to this fact art
can represent other things but its outward appearance but in
other cases the outward appearance of the art is the sole purpose
of the artist. Art is subjective and so is a person’s reaction to
the art. Art critics examine art and determine if it is good art o
should even be considered art (Darke, 2012). Art critics make
judgments. I find art is hard to define to even harder to critic
especially since it is subjective and so is the opinion of the art
critic.
