my thoughts about art

what is art?

Is it the expression of an emotion, is it about capturing a feeling, is it about recreating a sight, the rendition of an idea, an abstract one maybe.....

what is art today might not have been art yesterday, is art always art, can something become art with time? Very Possible.

art is in music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, writing ....why isnt programing an art, or cooking?

what does a critic know, i might be touched by what offends someone else, are we a race doomed to regurgitate someone elses opinions? where is original thought? is everybody capable of original thought?

art serves no practical purpose, the moment it does, it ceases to be art, rather it becomes an utility or a craft.

Art: pure expression of a spirit (say a painting)
Craft: an utiliterian object with some beauty in it
Thing: the mass machine made pure utiliterian object

its not fair to talk about art in terms of colour, size, brightness, shape .... thats reserved for a craft, art can only be described in terms of emotion, how does it make you feel

even a everyday photo can evoke million of myriad emotions well that is also art, does the photograph of my mother qualify as art, it evokes so much emotion in me everytime I see it. Its just an ordinary photograph though, not evoking anything in anybody else.

can art be considered the transfer of thought

5 senses eyes, ears,nose,touch,taste,

when is something an art,

is it just a means of communicationor atleast i think thats the history of art, some guy drawing a lion to describe it to other people, maybe that started cave paintings but i guess it gave people emotional fullfillment

to copy is not art, to imitate is not art. hence the difference between skilful and artistic
are those two terms equivalent
