art.

art, to me, is the ability to express something intangible (such as an emotion or an event) and make it visual to the audience. the indefinite can be made definite.

within the visual arts (painting, sculpture, printmaking, etc.) an issue can be addressed, a bold statement can be made, an emotion can be expressed, all without having said a word! that's powerful, yo! by appealing to your senses or emotions, the artist can express theirs.
ps. well done graffiti (not slop drawn up to endorse gangs) is just cool.

literature is the art of writing. within literature there are different mediums (novel, poem, short story, drama etc.) and each can be used to visually and verbally express the authors intentions.
i have no comment on how literature moves me. it has the ability to, but im moving on nonetheless.

performing arts encompasses theater, music, dance and yes, the circus. for time sake (mine and MJ's) im only discussing music here. music would have to be my personal fave of all the art because for every intangible emotion, there is a song out there that can express (verbally) what you are feeling. say your feeling 40 kinds of sadness when your lover is gone, well sure enough theres a song called "Kinds of Sadness" that may describe your state of being. OR, say your trying to get pumped for tolo and the theme just so happens to be rockstar...theres a song out there called "Party Like a Rockstar"* that may get you excited because it fits your situation perfectly!
*btw, the REMIX's are 8x/10 better than the original...why?

anywho, without art, we would have all these mental images, all these emotions, all these genius concepts, and no form to express it in...

that'd be one sad world.


oh, and art is what society makes it out to be. the deodorant on my wood dresser may be art to me, but not to you. art is defined by its collective audience, not always the individual.

**and now that a couple days have past since ive written this blog, ive concluded that my description of art was total garbage.
