    Art expresses a person view of the world, their emotions , their story, their thoughts visually. Art shows this in many ways you can almost just tell if a person was happy or sad by just looking at an art piece. Sometimes you cant tell what the art is trying to tell you. Art is earth without art our world would be plain and lifeless. Art creates the world we live in , art isn’t something you have to look for, its in front of you wherever you go.

      @Gareth Lloyd Yeah well I don't really like how I formed it, but I think I'm right at a certain point. Like, art is a really human thing. We are the first specie as we know of that was able to derive aesthetics from biological purpose. So yeah, art is the conception of humanity and either made or interpreted by human consciousness. A picture of a galaxy can be art for the human mind, but for a fish it is meaningless. Now, if you like very precise definitions I suggest you got watch videos about mathematics instead of art

    After many years, I finally came to understand that I am most happy when I am creating.
    The chorus in Verdi’s Aida sings an invocation to the great god, Ftah.
    “You, who from nothing created the universe....”
    How is something created from nothing?
    By use of the imagination.
    We have an image in our mind and we create it as art.
    And by creating a tangible product that starts with a thought, we are assuming, on a small scale, the role of God.
    Perhaps the anxiety of being powerless over life and death is relieved a bit when we, like god, create.

    For me art is also the representation of the mystery, order, harmony, beauty, and even chaos of nature.........representing or presenting the nature around us and the nature of us. It's just like putting these unexplainable, philosophical, spiritual, emotional, mental, psychological, and social experiences and ideas we have into something visible or audible or expressing it through movements. It's our nature to search for total order, total harmony, and our admiration for something beautiful and attractive or to something worth of thinking and ponder that we also do art. It's just our way of recording these ideas, experiences, and admiration or attraction towards humanly affairs, nature, and culture, the development of individual and societies, and of our selves that we acknowledge as special only among us. Art makes us think, it makes us feel that touches our emotions or reminds us of something, it tackles issues around us or mimics the nature in and out of us that others might understand the mystery and feeling of our ideas and experiences or of the very human condition itself.

    My personal litmus test for serious and meaningful definition of art and aesthetics is if they don't us the term " art for art's sake". Sweeping any confusion under a tautology rug. There must be a half dozen attempts like this one on RUclips and this one wasn't too bad. I agree that whatever grabs your attention is the place to start.

    Loved the video. Art should be more accessible to the general public, even to politicians. Maybe if it was more funding would be available. Schools could do more if teachers had better training or if they were allowed to swop around a bit to teach in areas of more experience in the junior grades.

    I love the way you helped me focus on the positive effects of art. ❤ For some reason, I fear to open my heart to some kinds of art because I am afraid of the negative effect it could have on me. Does it mean I am judgemental? Does it mean I hate the artist or I am not tolerant of his or her mind? Sometimes, I am also afraid I won't give a proper meaning to someone's work of art. I have tried to challenge myself to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling in whenever I am in front of a challenging piece of art. My first reaction is to cancel it and I don't like it. Do you think there is a solution for me?

  • @Cuanalo

    A better approach for this issue is to start by acknowledging that the word art was created by somebody to name a phenomenon they experienced in their lives; so we go and look for that original convention so we know what the phenomenon is. Once we do this, we find out that Romans coined the word ars (art) to account for the source of those things that were not created by the gods, but rather by humans, so that they could divide the universe in the realms of 'the natural' -things created by the gods through their agency called 'natura'- and the realm of 'the artificial' -things created by humans through their agency called 'ars'. And right there, automatically, we know what art is for: creating the artificial. After that is just a matter of understanding the fundamental differences between creating and manufacturing and other such words, and understanding the concept of originality -and distinguishing it from novelty and other such words-. For example, the film Metropolis, by Frits Lang, 1927, created the robots, particularly the android robots, in the sense that it was the origin of that 'form'. Without artists having imagined this form, there would be no engineers trying to make such contraptions.

    No it's not to inspire
    not to stop lonelyness
    not to rebalance us
    not to any functional purpose you are thinking about.
    You dont hear music to be productive, even if you found out you do, that's not the main reason.
    To put it simple not everything in life is about work and usefullness or productivity. Life is also about enjoyment. To actually have fun, you aren't some ant condemned to just work and be productive. You also enjoy life. That's you watching tv, hearing a joke and contemplating beauty. Art is for enjoyment. Anything else comes after. It's simple and clean, dont over complicate it. Way back then egyptians saw art (the word didnt exist) as a productive way to convey information to the gods. Contemporary art is obsesed with transmiting information, meaning. That's just an aspect of art, not art itself. Art is hardly defined because we made the word from something we didnt have so clear. Doesnt have a functional purpose, of course unless you want to give it one, yet you aren't required to.

    This is speculation. I can think of no empirical evidence for any of these suggestions. Is there any evidence, for example, that people fell more hopeful after viewing pretty pictures? And if there is, how does that imply that that is art's purpose. For example, it would seem to me that by that standard the World Cup is art.
