Art is an unique way to express feeling, emotion, and perspective. I thought the question, 'Can art change the world?' was particularly interesting. I believe that art can change the world and is necessary. Not only does art add beauty to the world, but it also allows people to express themselves. In the article, The Whole Ball of Wax, Jerry Saltz discusses the meaning of art through philosophy and how it impacts the mind and other peoples thoughts. I agree with this statement. A single painting can be viewed by many different people in many different ways. Different people get different emotions for artworks and have different viewpoints and perspectives about the work. Art has a way of explaining things through unique interpretations. It can be abstract or realistic; it can be simple or complex, which makes art complicated and intriguing.

ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned that Saltz used philosophy to explain art because I agree that it demonstrates how art impacts people's inner thoughts. In addition, I agree that a variety of types of art impact each person very differently.
ReplyDeleteI agree that art can change people's perspectives. I also think it is really interesting to think of art as ever changing. my perspective on life in general can change daily and what was originally the meaning behind a certain art piece may not necessarily stand the test of time, however, these perspectives could change.
ReplyDeletei like your point that art has many meanings depending on who is beholding it and how important that is. I also like that you mention art being an expression of people's views towards the world.
ReplyDeleteI agree that one piece of art is differently viewed and perceived by different people. Do you think art always adds beauty or can it do the opposite?
