What is Art? (how is that for a big question!!!)

Everyone has their own thoughts about what makes art, art.  I want to know what you think.  We have seen art varying from animal feces on religious symbols, fuzzy pastel flowers and landscapes and even crazy melting heads and bodies that seem to drip off the canvas.

I think true art is a personal expression of deep thought, emotion, beauty or even hate.  This emotion is often not even known until sometime into the creative process. 

People who create “art” should not care what others think of their creations.  Yes, it is nice to have people admire, flatter, brag and buy your art;  but ultimately, the joy of the creation and the pleasure of the finished piece is the true beauty of any work of art.

 

Ciao
