world of nothing but Art?Y
I went to the National Museum again; this time with Isabel to work on my artpieces. I didn't have much time, so I spent about 55 minutes doing the rough sketch of a finely-carved female marble head.
Sometimes I really wonder how peaceful it will be if all that people care is on Art. Wouldn't life be much more relaxed? Everyone will only be interested in Art, being stress-free and appreciate artpieces.
Most people have a misconception for Art, assuming that it's a subject which can lead you to nowhere. If someone actually tells me that, the first thing in my mnd wil be," Hey, you're just showing me how unknowledgeable you are, not even able to think out of your box. Like... heh, Art is a big topic which is important in life ok?"
Art is related to everything, from what we see to what we smell; basically, observation with all our senses. Be it Fine Arts, Visual Arts, Performing Arts or whatsoever, every artpiece is telling it's story, expressing an artist's thoughts.
It's not easy to come up with a self-satisfying artpiece. The simplest way is to create a composition which one can refer to, which is also the happenings surrounding the artist.
Art tells you the identity and culture of a place, Art brings life to us, and most importantly Art shows us the mood and ambience.
If someone's able to put everything aside just to appreciate Art, analyse pieces, this person is sure to be a Great mankind. Only someone who has the ability to think so deeply into every aspect of life has a right to be called the Great, won't you agree?
But again, without the negative happenings of life, artists can never be able to show the brighter side. There's got to be areas for people to focus on in order for artists to relate to.
It's impossible to have a world of nothing but Art, yet it's also i'mpossible to have a world of everything but Art. Life has always been this contradicting, hasn't it?
