2. Choose one definition of Art from the lesson and give your personal
interpretation
According to Merriam Webster defines art as “the conscious use of skills and
creative imagination specially in the production of aesthetic objects”. For my
personal interpretation from this Merriam Webster definition, you can produce
pieces of artwork of any creation if you apply your skill sets, talents, and
ingenuity with intentions.”
3. Explain the following:
A. Art is universal
Art is a universal language that conveys the message and strong emotions.
Given the fact that this really predates our human existence, it is perennial
and extensive. It supersedes cultures, ethnicity, and society that can be
powerful and all-pervasive.
Jake and Mary are the main characters of the short "Art Appreciation"
YouTube video from the Five 16 Film Festival. Jake is the opposite of Mary
since he lacks Mary's knowledge, interest, and depth of understanding in the
arts; Mary is mindful of the significance of each piece of artwork at the
museum, which really is essential for appreciating the art. Jake, on the other
hand, lacks a comprehensive understanding of art and thinks literally about
matters that are merely based on visuals. Art is indeed an emotion and an
experimental interpretation of reality; always keep in mind that art represents
the artist's thoughts symbolically. Moreover, art may be viewed from a variety
of perspectives, helping you to appreciate it for what it is. At first, you might
not get the symbolic importance of the artwork, but as long as you are
genuinely interested in understanding whatever its purpose was, you will
eventually understand it. Just how Jake interprets his perspective in art at the
end of the video, regardless of the fact that it is basically a stain that must be
cleaned up. Definitely a surprising ending of a story.
