    ART anyone?!?

    My sentiments...


    For the past two meetings, we’ve been talking about our perception of what art is. We started our session with an activity. It was sort of... a show and tell. Each one of us was asked to present something that we consider a “work of art”. The objects that were brought in class ranges from the most mundane thing such as a ball pen to a unique looking structure such as the leaning tower of Pisa. Someone made an art with the aid of a yellow paper, some presented classical pieces by well-known virtuosos, and some presented pieces of drawings and literary materials [?!?!] made by their loved ones. From that activity, we, rather Ms. Jewel devised what our [my class’] concept of art is.



    It turned out that our idea of art is something that is stunning and engaging, something that is part of culture, a work that is done by the creativeness of human mind, and it also aids human in expressing himself. For a moment or two, I had the notion that art is everything that we see around us. However, Ms. Jewel said that if art is everything that we see around us…the cabinet, the blackboard, and the trees for example, then the entire world must be a vast museum. It made me want to say that every object doesn’t need to be in a museum to be considered as “art”. A simple ball pen, an ordinary table, a huge mountain, a tree, or even a pair of rubber slippers can be considered as an object of art, uhhh... in some way... they are. If one would look at it in the context of human creativeness, then those objects are deemed to be labeled as art. Even only at one point in their existence, w/c is pretty much the moment that they were invented.


    Another issue was raised in our discussion… Are nature and technology can be considered “art” or are they “equal” to art? Again, my answer is yes, I do consider those things as art. Nature is created by God, the greatest artist of all while Technology is made by human creativity and skill. But then again, our professor said that art is something that is immortal and unchanging which is pretty much the opposite of what nature is. As for technology, it can only be considered art if and only if it is made to “make a difference”… and not just to gain profit from it. One way or another, I was convinced that technology and nature are not equal to art.

    After all the arguments were raised, it was concluded that for an object to be considered an art, it must not only be beautiful nor it must not only express the creator’s emotion, rather, it should have a form, a substance, and it should be original. And it made me ask…again… isn’t it that these criteria were set by the society? Must we always believe or follow what the society tells us? One’s perception of art is different from one person to another. For me, as long as that work/object expresses one’s thoughts, feelings, and insights, it is considered an art.


    Well, perhaps the criteria that were given by the society regarding art are intended for works that are meant to be displayed in a museum. Those must be the characteristics of a GOOD art, not just art per se.


    Before the end of our class, another description of art was given to us by our professor. She said that art is shaped by our beliefs, aspiration, and human needs. Well, that meaning would be good enough for me. At least, it is somehow close to what my personal idea of art is.


    PEACE!
