I'm back! For now.. and here's a discussion about Art.

Glad to hear you have eleviated any problems that you previously had. Always something new and interesting on Mylot. Too much to explain here. I was married to an artist. He could draw something and make it look like a photograph. That always impressed me. I am just the opposite. Not an artistic bone in this body!

First of all welcome back to mylot... Art, in my opinion, can found in all kind of field. In case of social enjoying art, people live in many small or big group in their own way. This is also a art of life spending. In science there is also arts of solving many difficult problems. In Math, there are so many arts to know... that create many technology..

I don't know exactly, but it has to touch you in some way emotionally. You have to be able to see beyond the fact that it's paint and canvass or brass or clay or whatever.

Point of view is all important here. People who can think outside the box will give ART a much wider venue then those that don't. PS I am very gald that you are back, you have been missed.

Hi Lore! I have been wondering about you. I suppose if I were to define Art..it would be the means of self expression that touches other people too. I like the kind of art that makes me "feel something" The truth is though that what I consider art..others might nor or visa versa.

Hi Lore Of course I remember you, and am happy to see you return back to myLot. I do not have much of anything to share new but am glad to say that though noting new life is okay. As for art, gosh anything that will get me to see beyond what is painted and or pictured for me it is like therapy to be able to sit and see beyond simply what is on the canvas.

I am more with the "expression" side of art. I can express myself with my arts. When i am sad,i can easily compose lines of poem that express what i feel. I can draw more and sketch what my heart's wants to convey. I can also say i am artistic when it comes to my handicrafts (i like it looks pretty and pleasing) with color combination and quality. I want to cook with a little bit touch of art also.

Hi Lore Good to see you back. Hope your problems are resolved and you are away from problems. To me, Art is anything (man-made) that can attract me or my attention for good. The expression is what I think is the main factor for anything to make an appeal or attract anyone. People who say "I CAN DO THAT! That's not art!" are normally people who either have no idea of what art is about or those who are armchair artists thinking falsely that they can do anything (like a few lotters who think they can put anything anywhere) or even the egostic people who believe they are the best. Only one question to them - "If you could do that please create a hand-done copy of that and gift it to me".

Well I try to keep an open mind about the entire thing. But I am not an expert in art, so if something looks ugly to me then thats my opinion. But if it looks real good to me, again, thats my opinion. I like looking at something pleasing to the eye, I don't like trying to figure it out.

I consider myself an artist, and I have been known as "the artist" in my school since maybe 5th grade, and I'm graduating high school this year. People first started asking this question around the time Dadaism came around. Marcel DuChamp found an old urinal installation and submitted it to an art show one day, long long ago. He did not make it, scuplt it, or paint it. Was that art? Just grabbing something and submitting it to an art show? Well now that urinal is extremely, extremely famous. But it's been done before, so if I were to take a toilet seat and give it to an art gallery, it wouldn't get so much as a second glance. I don't think art should be given a set of rules as to what it is or is not, because artists hate rules and restrictions and will always go around them. But if there are no rules, there's nothing to rebel. I never really got much out of abstract art, though. Teenage artists, the ones who are conventional and shallow, always do the same things. They draw and take close up pictures of eyes, and they like to use paint splatters like Jackson Pollack. But when Pollack did those paint splatters, it made him famous. Also, his works are usually huge and cover a whole wall, so all of the intricate webbings must be so overwhelming to view in person. And they must have taken a hell of a long time. As for myself, I like to do realism. But it also frustrates me when I have to try to copy something from a photograph or from life. Well, from life is okay, drawing strictly from a photo is very difficult and unrewarding. A teacher gave me a photo of her two kids to paint, and its' taken me a long time, and I never met those kids. So it's very difficult. But surrealism is what I like to do best. I like to use realistic skills to create a lifelike drawing with odd things in it. One time I drew a zebra with a v a g i n a in its ear. I've painted my friend eating a kitten burrito. Sort of like Magritte or Salvador Dali. Short answer: I don't know.

To me, art is all about the aesthetics and the medium. I prefer something either really abstract with bright colors, or something drawn and painted realistically with oil pants. A true artist finds art in everything. I only wished that I could comprehend math so that I could see it in that. I do see art in science, maybe that's why I feel so passionately about it.

What ever may be that it is abstract or bright.Which art shows some meaning of idealism that one every one appreciate.Art is showing our relationships,nature or history,that combine to give some meaning.Art is all about nature like that i believe.
