What is Art?




Last class, we had seen many interesting photos, no matter whether I like them, they're really special.


I am always poor at drawing pictures, but I love photography. I have been interested in it for many years. I think the nature give us muse everytime and everywhere.


From those pictures I found some people make their lives with photography, they want to put a different sight on the same object, which maybe not beautiful enough. Cause I knew some knowledge of photography, the people who took those photos are had good skills in photography, but I can't agree all of them, because something was too scarce to understand, why not choose something clear?


I would like to take photos with some thing more obvious, and normal, such like the sunshine, we often see sunshine at a time, but it's changing all the time. The sunshine can mean bright, hope, happiness, however, under the sunshine, there goes to be a shadow, so if we take photos with the shadow, the meaning also changed. Actually the sunshine is just sunshine, it has no sense, but we used to give it a emotion we want to share, that's art, we express our feeling without control.


I think art is not a thing we try to look for but never find, I hope art is the magic I can get something from but not be lost in it.


I like Mann's photos, especially her family's photos. They're the most special photos I had seen, I feel their lives are so quiet and nature, they're simple, no surprises, but strong moving, I don't know why, but I really like the people in it, the river, the colour.


Art is the beauty everyone thinks differently, but they are all come from life, we don't lack of beauty, but we lack of eyes to discover the beauty.

    This is a wonderful response. Your observations are very thoughtful, and I can see that you were thinking carefully and open-mindedly about each of the artists we explored. You raise a good point that I think many people have about some controversial or shocking artists--why does it always have to be so difficult? Does the focus on shocking people or showing them something new come at the price of artistic integrity? Well done!
