What does it mean? To be a man, a woman, or an artist? The term human refers to the idea of being mortal and mundane. Humanity is essentially the combination of the ideas and principles that make us "human". It ranges from our abilities to comprehend human emotion and connect to the people around us, to the fact that we do not live for ever and have to come to terms with our mortality. Human, like many other terms in our vocabularies such as good, evil, and so on, are all terms that do not have a set definition and vary depending upon who you are and what you have done.
Humans rely on art to communicate and explain thoughts, ideas, and concepts that we fail to do with words. Who determines what art is? Art is in the eye of the beholder and to each it means something similar and yet entirely different. Someone who creates art, an artist, is one who can see the connection between thought, emotion and indention. They are able to draw on their own experiences to interpret
I like it, being human, artist or good is only what we make it. I also believe you cannot really put a philosophical meaning behind them. They are different for everyone, everyone has there own opinion about them. A big part of being an artist is being able to put and see our own emotions and thought into the piece. Then no matter what feelings are put into a piece, people will always find different emotions for themselves in art works.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I also agree that you cant put a meaning on certain words and that everyone perceives those words differently based on their experiences and how they where brought up. Also agree that artists see at differently than from the perspective of a non artist.
ReplyDeleteGood post and great use of vocab. I think your spot on with that art is in the eye of the beholder and means differant things to each person. Some people admire great art just because they're told that it's great but it is percieved and interpreted by each person differantly
