This is a blog for my English 15 class and will be used to blog about certain prompts and topics presented in class and anything else that I decide to post, it's my blog, I'll do what I want with it
When I think of art the first thing that comes into my head, not surprisingly, is a painting, a sculpture, or even a piece of architecture. But then, if I think about it a little deeper I try to draw parallels between the things I've thought of. I suppose in my mind art is anything that expresses creativity or passion. Paintings, sculptures, and architecture are obviously all very good examples of creativity, but what else falls under that category? Music? Cooking? Science, maybe? All of these things require at least a small amount of creativity and a huge amount of passion for someone to master and to excel. Anything that someone is passionate about and expresses creativity is, to me, considered art, but what is good art and what is bad art? That is a bit more complicated. I suppose as far as visual art, such as paintings, sculptures, and architecture, good is anything that is pleasing to my eye and that evokes some kind of emotion within me. Written art is the same way, except for the "pleasing to the eye" part. Like they say, don't judge a book by its cover, literally.
One piece of art that is both visually interesting and musically pleasing is a song by Gotye. It's called "Somebody That I Used to Know" and the musicians, or whomever directed the video, found a way to incorporate the painting process, the human body, and music into one video that is pretty dang good, for lack of better words.
Omg, I must say that I absolutely love this song and video by Gotye and Kimbra! That is truly art. I was watching MTV and they were explaining how they had to stop and get every scene of the paint on their bodies, so you can imagine how long it took this video to be complete. Surely longer than the usual time. Also, I feel like a lot of things can be considered art too.
