What is Art?

 Art is an expression of our thoughts, emotions, intuitions, and desires, but it is even more
personal than that: it's about sharing the way we experience the world, which for many is an
extension of personality. It is the communication of intimate concepts that cannot be faithfully
portrayed by words alone.

Some of comments about Arts?

 All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced,
at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up.
 Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world,
and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.
 Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom
and madness, between dream and reality in our mind.

Top 10 questions on our assumptions about Arts?

 Art making is about how good an image you can make.

 The role of the art educator is to give students knowledge about art.
 Art does not have to mean anything.
 I think most people assume that artists create art with a deep meaning behind it.
 We like to believe we understand the logic, the message it’s trying to convey, but a lot of the
time, art is just art.
 Similar how we have random daydreams and ideas, art can also be sporadic.
 Life is short – Art is long
 An artist need sponsor to afford to concentrate on art works for long period of time.
 Some Art are far more expensive than others.
 It takes talent to make arts.

Basic Art Criticism?

 Art criticism is responding to, interpreting meaning, and making critical judgments about specific
works of art. Art critics help viewers perceive, interpret, and judge artworks. Critics tend to focus
more on modern and contemporary art from cultures close to their own.
