Art And Art : The Purpose Of Life

Studying the Art is rewarding and fun. From art we could build a deeper understanding of the world we live in and how we got here. Art is like an idea brought into the world though drawing. People study art because they learn about their own creative expressions. Art is a window on our thoughts and emotions. It takes us to different times and places. For example, art holds clues from the past. It contributes who we are as people. Art gives us knowledge, inspiration and how we feel and view the world around us.

Art has had a profound significance to me throughout my life. As a child, art was my retreat from the mundane of the world. I found a way of communicating the things I was feeling with others around me! It gave me different perspectives and ways of looking at events, emotions, and people. All of these perspectives helped shape me, made me contemplate the individual I wanted to be and how the world behaves. Art answered as many questions as it posed. It made life worth living. From that moment on, there would never be a day in my life that didn’t involve art in some form or another.

The relations between art and life is explored throughout Martin McDonagh’s play, The Pillowman and Muriel Spark’s Loitering With Intent. They explore these relations through discussing the stylistic features of their characters and how these characters are perceived in real life. Both authors explore how the preconceived ideas of what a character should be is dismantled and the line which distinguishes between art and life is becoming less clear. Another way in which these authors explore the link between art and life is through the act of storytelling. This suggests that life is a form of art. Both texts deal with the argument of whether it is life that influences art or art that influences life. Some literary critics such as Henry James

In the words of renowned artist Pablo Picasso, “the purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls”. Art can be interpreted in many ways by those who view it, it can take many forms and its purpose is not always clear. The way art is defined is just as broad. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as “a branch of learning”, “an occupation requiring knowledge or skill” or as “the conscious use of skill and creative imagination”. This definition can also be widened to include a branch of art known as performance art, where art is performed and experience live by an audience. So, a legitimate question that is asked is what is arts purpose? Kevin Wilson’s The Family Fang is a novel that explores the life of a family dedicated

With so many outlets to find R&B that suits your taste, why settle for a flavor you don’t like?

I’ve always known that I wanted to pursue art education. Ever since I was a little girl, seven years old to be specific, I have wanted to be an art teacher. I remember vividly sitting in my second grade art class talking to my teacher and realizing that everyone has different skills and abilities, and that perhaps art was going to be mine. It was there in Country View Elementary School that I became fascinated with colors and the idea that an artist can start with nothing and create a masterpiece. Soon after that I came to the conclusion that I needed to do art every single day of my life. This realization that I loved creating art continued, and when I was in middle school and beginning of high school I spent several summers at a summer art camp. The camp

Art is very personal to some people. It has become their life. People take art very seriously. Studies have shown that painting, drawing, and sketching, have reduced stress and made people calmer. When an artist takes their art very seriously, other people can enjoy it for themselves. For example, Michelangelo was very serious about his paintings, which lead his opinions and inspiration, to change the way we look at the Renaissance today.

Art is the safe, abstract world wherein humans can examine themselves and their world with minimal real-world consequence. Rats may be capable of metacognition and chimpanzees may build and use tools, but neither share the innate drive of humans to create art. Not only do humans make art to convey their own personal experience, they are able to appreciate the art of others. Unlike lower animals who are too biologically focused on their own survival, humans can spend hours obsessing over the creations of others, bathing in the emotional energy of those they will likely never meet in person, taking comfort in the knowledge that someone else may share their experience. Humans need to connect on an emotional level to survive (probably a biological hold-over from when we wandered the Earth in nomadic tribes), but what defines humans from other pack animals, is our ability to connect through

Saying that art is unessential for life, could be the most mindless commits that one can make, for art helps write history. Art is a creative release on a difficult life, as well as a way to document important information in history. Without art, we would lose important historic artifacts that are key for our understanding of the past. Without art we could not look back at history that was laid down for us.

Art can give us a way to show people that we have skill in some that not in sport or something. It can be a career in art. Also it can clam down or relax the person.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, Art is defined as “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination”; but before someone can personally answer the question, “What is Art”, they must first define the purpose of the art. The purpose of creating and observing art is the same as to why humans read and study literature. Many people study literatures to educate, to tell stories to carry on a legacy, to convey their feelings or concerns, to open other people’s mind, to add drama to their life, or even as an outlet for frustration that built up. Literature and Art hold the same effect on people overall.

‘What I like so much about contemporary art now is its ambiguity, its uncertainty. It is precisely this quality that engages and unsettles us’ – Benjamin Genocchio, art critic.

Visual Merchandisers have many employment options available in many different sectors. I believe that displays are all encompassing. It is the little details that culminate a theme or feel that makes customers want to shop at a particular store and have a certain type of experience depending on who they are. It is all about making an environment whether a store, a party, a home, etc. as inviting and welcoming as possible. I strongly believe that there is so much inspiration out there that can be used to create compelling store displays that provoke consumers to shop and help maximize a store’s profits. This is an interesting field where not only are artistic skills necessary, but also the ability to merchandise the sales floor and make every visual aspect of a store experience enjoyable.

Is art a form of self-expression from the artist to their audience? Self-expression is defined as, “the expression of one's feelings, thoughts, or ideas, especially in writing, art, music, or dance.” (English Oxford Dictionary). The source of inspiration for art is unknown for certain, but it is commonly believed that it comes from inside the artist, based on their life lessons and experiences. If the inspiration comes from within, then artists are expressing themselves through their art, thus art is self-expression. There are innumerous forms of art, from writing to dancing; singing to creating a drawing, public speaking and everything in-between. A person who is whistling is expressing how they are feeling through the notes that they hit. Someone who is drawing can use darker colors, such as browns and blacks to give off an eerie tone. Does that mean that all art is self-expression? No, not all art is self-expression, maybe it isn’t self-expression at all. This leads to the debate over whether art is self-expression if the inspiration comes from an outside source, rather than from within.

Throughout all of known human civilization man has used art as a form of communication to express ideas, emotions, and experiences that speak to each individual differently. What is beautiful about art is not always the way it is created, but rather the way that a certain piece has deeper meaning that portrays the constantly changing world around the artist. Society is like an organism: always growing and morphing, and though it may look the same as it once did, it becomes an entirely different being. With this, for better or for worse, people will always adapt; the time is constantly shifting, and humanity rises above and beyond, resilient, yet at the same time soft and malleable, shaped and sculpted like clay on a pottery wheel. With the external changes humanity has experienced throughout thousands and thousands of years of history, internally we are influenced just as radically. Art, in this sense, becomes a means of interpreting and understanding life.
