Do you have standard to consider art as beautiful?
The fundamental difference between art and beauty is that art is about who has produced it, whereas beauty depends on who’s looking. Beauty is whatever aspect of that or anything else that makes an individual feel positive or grateful. Beauty alone is not art, but art can be made of, about or for beautiful things.
Why is it important to understand the medium used by an artist in creating art?
Artists often use a particular medium because it affects the texture or color of the work of art. Other times, the artist will choose a medium because it helps the audience interpret the art in a specific way.
Does art need to be original?
In general, artists who are somewhat derivative through slightly original will be able to make an adequate living. Artists who have a noticeably original style, but are not too “far out” will tend to do very well, and may achieve great financial success.
How does artists get inspired to create?
Visual artists can get great inspiration from powerful songs, films, or stories. Whether an art project is trying to capture the overall feelings of a song, an emotional scene in a movie, or the story told from a poem, there is no denying that these creative mediums are a modern day muse for visual artists.
How does the medium affect the message?
A phrase popularized by Marshall McLuhan in his 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, “The medium is the message,” is an expression whose truth has stood the test of time. The medium places a filter on a message in a way that significantly influences how the message is interpreted.
Do medium and techniques matter in creating an artwork?
Each medium has its own particular characteristics and each requires its own techniques for creating art. If you’ve never used a particular art medium before, it’s often helpful to read through a description of it first, as well as look at art that was made with that medium.
Is this the Real Thing – by another artist?
But it is the real thing, just by another artist. It is Sturtevant’s Johns Target with Four Faces, from 1986 – and just one of dozens of slippery, sinister and perplexing works by an artist who looked like everyone but herself.
What is art for?
The discussion has been sometimes analytical, sometimes passionate, sometimes humorous. 1. “Art completes what nature cannot bring to a finish. The artist gives us knowledge of nature’s unrealised ends.” 2. “Art is the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.” 3.
Is mechanical reproduction the future of Art?
Mechanical reproduction has made ‘original’ works of art even more desirable, not less so, with many works achieving cult-like devotion. Another confirmation of this is the towering prices for art today, notably for photography and other easily reproducible artworks.
Is Sturtevant’s art copying or original?
Philosophically sophisticated but not at all conceptual in execution, Sturtevant’s art actually hinges less on copying than on the big questions of authority, authorship, circulation and history. It’s a fraught relationship, the original and the copy, and it has been a hallmark of debates around modern and contemporary art.
