1. If you were an artist, what kind of artist would you be?

Photography is indeed an art form, moreover, its unique features make it distinctly
different from its closest relative: painting. Photography is a language, which uses
visual elements in lieu of words, therefore, just as any language, it can be used for
artistic purposes

2. Why is art not nature?

Art is not nature simply by definition. From its inception, the term art has referred
to things made by humans, as contrasted with things that occur naturally in the
world, apart from human agency. It is not nature because, in many senses, art is
not “natural,” but rather a man-made construct. It may appear to be near to nature
or even “go beyond” nature at times, but it always returns to man's intellect, heart,
and hands.

3. Why is art ageless and timeless?

Art that is both relevant and timeless is powerful. It has the ability to connect with
us through current challenges while also engaging with the art historical past while
being relevant to the future. Art is ageless because it is come from our thoughts
and our ideas from the young to very old person can do arts because it’s a fashion.
As long as we are here, the desire to make and experience art will continue. The
timeless in art isn't in the work, it's in us. Agelessness and timelessness can refer to
a classical style of art that will never go out of fashion, in that it does not utilize
any wonky trends that will only be popular for a short and specific period of time.
Usually artwork that is ageless and timeless, likewise appeal to a more
conservative audience, and a classical understated aesthetic. The artists rely on
traditional subject matter, usually the figure, landscapes, or still lives. They rely
heavily on the beauty of a balanced composition, and colors. The important thing
to remember is that ageless and timeless artwork appeals to a wider audience over
many hundreds of years because of the artist’s use of subtle but very effective,
skillful application of aesthetic beauty. It doesn't age or shift as years passes, it
stays the same.

4. Why does art involve experience?

Everything you've gone through in your life has shaped how you look at things,
how you see them, and what details you pay attention to, as opposed to how
someone else looks at the same things. Because no two people are alike, your
experiences shape all of your art, whereas others' are shaped by theirs.
