ART

What is ART?

A question frequently asked, and the answers are usually depending on each person’s view and perspective... And that differs in each one of us.
My vision on art starts with the world I see and with what I am. For me, I am art, God's creation, nature around me is art, and the way the sky colors itself differently each season is art, so art is in me and all around me... That’s how it started.
And us humans were inspired by God's art and vision and started creating our own.
Art is the way we express our selves, it could be through writing, drawing, painting, performing, technology etc... It’s about letting out what you have experienced or acknowledged through time even verbally and through behavior and applications...
During the Renaissance, emotions in a painting were expressed through representation of a feeling by the figure or subject matter portrayed. At first the paintings expressions were modest and by time became more expressive as the Baroque style emerged, facial and body expressions and movements were more obvious and expressed a great deal of inner emotions and the state of mind.
By time paintings evolved, a result of us evolving and our expressions growing into what we call art. When i thought deeply about it, I figured out that all our lives depend on art itself in its good and bad turns, and art depends on us in expressing it and as a result, you can only compare art to itself.

As of comparison in art, I will compare two ancient sculptures, The first is Nude Woman, or Venus of Willendorf, from the prehistoric period. The second image is Khafre, a life-size Egyptian sculpture made of diorite stone from much later, circa 2,500 b.c.e. Both sculptures contain magical or supernatural symbolism, as well as concepts of life and death.

They are both stone and both human figures, but differ greatly in style. The Venus exhibits a combination of many stylistic elements. It is naturalistic and organic in areas of the body; exhibits full breasts, a round stomach, the pubic triangle, and chubby legs. She is a series of natural spheres. They are both great means of expression and fine art.

It takes great skills to perform art in any way, but it takes greater skills to keep art heading in the right direction.
Personally, art is my ultimate passion and i express it first by bringing out the humane part in me and show it without showing off with it. I practice art through my verbal expression and behavior and through every skill that i have by nature, I learned that art could be accomplished by every person, not only the educated people. Most famous artists in the world are uneducated with books but they learned a big lesson called life and expressed what they lived through the skill possible, making other people learn different feelings and get introduced to different views on life.

But some people took art to a wrong direction, some people learned to become artists in war, lie, and deceit. They used a gift and made of it a bomb of only destruction, knowing not that they are destroying themselves. And some other people used art to imitate not create; therefore forming a different use and meaning to art, a phony one. Only one way can improve and bring life back to art, which is by bringing life to our inner selves, and evolving, making it simple cause that’s where art shows and start from there.
Art is a gift that we are supposed to take care of, nourish, and make it grow with us, but we should keep in mind, is that we die, but art never does, its moved from generation to another, so our kids and grandchildren will see what we used to see, so let’s try and make the best of it, that's the best of us!
