You don’t need a high class education to find
“meaning” of art. Art either speaks to you or it doesn’t. If a piece does not
move you, or hold meaning in your heart, why should you bother with it at all
if art is an expression of yourself?
Any
form of expression that moves you; a sight, image, visual, sound that strikes
any emotion inside you. To me, art is personal and emotional. In traditional
times people had more classic tastes and were very likely moved by an image of
a beautiful lady. As society changed so did what people viewed as
beautiful.
Art
is a way of expression that comes from the heart and soul to create one’s
identity. Art does not specifically have to be a picture
that that an “artist” drew. Art can be anything, from
a spectacular masterpiece to the simplest body movement, it
is all art. Art can be done by anyone and anything, all it takes is
the two simple factors of the heart and soul.
Art
is created through human emotions and no matter if those emotions are negative
or positive the outcome is…BEAUTIFUL. A world within itself, with a language we could all understand.
So, did you "see" art in life all around you?
Open your heart and mind, then be inspired!
